You can wear anything you want my friend.
World doesn’t care, if someone do then I wouldn’t worry. Probably a sad fu** with nothing better to do.

hoe
If these are the real photos of the Rep , it is really something .
I know that it is really difficult finding thhese DiW in the Wild, but how close the caron woiuld be comparing to the Gen ?
I mean: if i compare a TAG Aquaracer Carbon to the Gen conterpart, the Carbon is identical. I mean, is like Stainless Steel, it fells identical to the Gen.
Which obviously is not the case of the Gold, a Rep 5 mils Gold platedand a Gen Solid Gold watch are ...well, different to the eye
! (and the weight is different too ).
I ask this because, at near 1.000 $ this Rep seems actually NOT expensive if the Carbon quality is similar (if not identical) to the Gen DiW 5711.
We alreay know that the 324 Caliber is pretty spot on, so i ask you about the Carbon Case Quality !
For me this looks pretty horrible, first of all is the crown, for a $1k watch I expect a bit better or it needs to be trimmed via modding. The usual flaws are the datewheel and dial with all rep unmodded Nautilus.
Buff has done an OK one based on 3KF with NTPT (20K YUAN or $2.9K USD), remember NTPT is much more expensive than FC.
For the price this should be a clone 324 like the ppf v4 minimum.
Crown should be more close to gen.
Carbon seems to be ok.
Dial not the best as we can clearly see on the 12 marker on TDs website for the RG version, só black should be the same.
If you that demanding of reps then maybe the best option for you is to get the Buff watch.
For most people this one will be enough.
Who's the best person to browse buff products via? I try to add watchbuff on WeChat and never get a reply.
Cette montre est géniale! Dommage qu’il y ait toujours ce problème de roue de date qui est évident, sinon le reste est très correct
Watchbuff has scammed some forum members so avoid him. Some Buff products might be ordered from TDs. I don't know who the best non TD re-seller of Buff products is but you can try popup.
I have dealt with buff through my dealer some time, can confirm it's real buff cause the product is good, but buff is also an annoying and arrogant mf to talk with...you ask few more questions he won't reply you for days, also no return and payment upfront is a must
I don't have a direct contact with Buff but my dealer popup's been responsive and helpful towards me so far. He doesn't write in English but WeChat or Google translators usually help. Ofc, one always needs to triple check the items offered by a non TD. Afaik you need to pre-pay to TDs on placing an order, too. Anyway, TDs have a lot of advantage over other dealers what the buyers pay the TDs' markup for.
I have a WeChat deal who can source buff parts. I haven’t been dealing with him for that long, but he’s treated me fairly so far. He also studied English in Canada, so he writes in English on WeChat. DM me if you’d like his WeChat ID since I don’t think it’s a good idea to post non-TD dealer information publicly.
why not? we all know who are trusted dealers and who's not on this forum or on other sources
Question is, I don't think Buff is actually on Wechat, it seems like all the others are just re-sellers, both we chat ID: watchbuff and daili98xing (aka popup) are resellers with the former MIA for a while where I read is due to illness
Fair enough. The person I’m dealing with is HKRwatch. Their English is excellent. They’re base in mainland China (despite the name suggesting they’re in Hong Kong). But all the usual caveats: this is a non-TD. They’ve been fair with me, but might turn out to be a scammer to others.
I would vote this dude to be a fair dealer too, fair price, almost always instant reply and good manner, bears my endless question even though I'm not buying eventually lol. I truly hope he didn't scam anyone cause I had a really good impression.
About Buff on wechat, I can confirm they have an wechat, but if you contact them directly, you wouldn't get any price better than through dealer, they markup for retails, so better let your hardworking dealer take the revenue.
I’m not sure if this is BUFF, but one of the better rep watch porn moments posters to follow is IPK-remade (WeChat ID ipk002). However, be warned, I’ve read elsewhere that this might be a scammer account. Fun to watch, but I wouldn’t buy.
I’m not sure if WeChat ID watchbuff is the real deal… but that account doesn’t post many moments so not great for following, and might be a scammer tbh.
Didn't see this before, but someone on reddit pointed out that the 12 o'clock markers are pretty bad misaligned in the Puretime Promo Pics and he is right!
Hope its not a batch flaw!
Hope its not a batch flaw!
Haha, because they are the $900+ low budget versions of Buff's $2500 exclusive ones.

Approved QC photos for your use
I agree they should have used the clone movement but i gather 3KF is the only factory that uses it but overall I am impressed
