My friend you have been here 2 days, you've asked the same question 3 times.

Have you even bothered to read the new members section?

Have you tried using the search function?

@eBoy / @Feefo will point you to the new members section.

Please stop spamming the place up with this nonsense and go do the research like everyone else.

see thats the thing, i just signed up to this forum but ive been researching what the best factory is for a datejust 41mm. Ive came to a conclusion of either VSF or Clean. I dont know which one to get? whats the difference between the 2? Are either of them good enough so people cant call me out?

They both have pro and cons
Vsf better movement vs3235 , better crystal

Clean case closer to gen, bezel better I think, but crystal not too good. Movement vr3235 is ok

It’s rep watch, can’t be perfect. But at the end, you can’t go wrong with clean or vsf. If it’s on the wrist, people will not able to tell if real or not.

you have already answered your own question in your post. you will always get different results, because everyone has to decide for themselves which factory is the best for them personally. all factories have their faults, for some it's the dials, with the other the bracelets, with the next the housing etc. .
you have to decide for yourself which tells you can live with the most or are not so bad for you and then decide on the factory that suits you.

Did you literally spend two days trying to understand? 48 solid hours of research? If so, that's probably about right for getting the minimum amount of research done to form a personal opinion on Rolex, or PP, or AP.

So after "two days", and not a single hint that you've done any research whatsoever - you just want someone to tell you the best factory for ALL the models from ALL 3 brands?

You got off really lightly with a kind member spoon feeding you a massive head start. Normally you'd be getting an awful lot more abuse than this...

I would normally be the exact same, have said it many times across the forum, but you're taking the p!ss tbh.

Have you done any actual research yourself?

Did you read the thread you were forced to read upon joining?


Did you read the thread I linked when you asked the exact same question in another thread?


Or are you bothered?

I agree with @p0pperini , you're getting off very lightly.

If you want spoonfeeding go elsewhere.

That's not exactly how it works, I have lots of nice things to say, and I've posted lots of helpful information on what my personal feelings on several brands and factories are.

If you would bother your lazy ass to use the search function you might find it.

Continuing to ask over and over isn't going to get you the response you are looking for.

OP you've been given the tools, do some research. WE can't tell what YOUR preferred watch would be. If you didn't find out for yourself at least one answer to your three questions, than I don't know what you've done for two days.

Since the OP doesn't seem to be the master of his own domain (I don't want to use the phrase "not in full control of his life"), I will help the poor chap out and just tell him what his favorite rep factory will be, so he doesn't have to put in any research or his own judgement:

So, here we go @Will.legend

Your preferred rep factory is: VSF

And since we're already at it, let's continue with your favorite watch brand: Omega.
Favorite ice cream: Nutella flavor
Favorite actress: Kristen Wiig
Favorite singer: Yoko Ono
Favorite food: Chicken-Satay with peanut sauce.
Favorite phone: Nokia 3310
Favorite car brand: Yugo
Favorite hotel class: 1 or 2 stars
Favorite vacation spots: Kabul, Bagdad and Mogadishu
Favorite drink: Root beer

Thank me later!

Moxie, not Root Beer. I'm right because it's my opinion I gave to him.

Mate, you are in Hawaii you say.
What do local surfers say about the newbie asking what's the best professional surfboard and the best wave, after having taken a one hour group lesson?

that's what's happening to you here
