I've had an account for a few months, and now that I have a new job, plan to do a bit less lurking. My dad inherited a legit Sub, and I want to one day get a replica Sub that looks as good, but that I can wear without paranoia.

Wishing you all long life and prosperity!

Hi and welcome. I saw you asking about a TD in the UK. Have a look at supermirrors, he has stock in UK.

Cheers, Feefo! I'll check him out. I've also emailed RepPossessed, as his "Fake fake" Clean VSF Sub looked interesting. I've heard Noob and Caddell are the best Subs, but my info is probably outdated. Is Clean a good brand do you know?

Noob is not only outdated, it also doesn't exist anymore since 2021.

There are two leading factories for Rolex reps at the moment: Clean and VSF.

It's the "Battle of the Titans", so to speak. As to which one is better is a somewhat philosophical question, but mostly it's down to personal preferences in regard to the movements and the different strengths and weaknesses in each model and everyone has pretty much their own preference for each model.

If there is something like a general consensus, it's that you will get a strong rep with either the Clean or the VSF version. In other words: none of both factories is the "wrong choice".

A quick read of the forums seems to suggest more people praising VSF. Easiest purchase I have seen so far is "fake" Clean. Guess we'll see what's available in the UK; I need to do more research.

Well, that's another reason why people go with one or the other factory: availability.

Cadell isn't anymore, too. If you're lucky, you can find TC subs in M2M now and again, but they go away real quick. Anyways, we talk 5-digit subs then, while VSF is in pole position for the new 6-digits. But clean and ZF don't do bad stuff if you want to spend less.

5 and 6 digit... you mean, like $10,000 or $100,000 replicas?!

I'm definitely on the lower end of the market, so Clean or someone else sounds more in my range. Is ZF another manufacturer worth looking for?

No I mean reference number, TC did only 5-digit references afaik. A modern vsf 6-digit reference number is indistinguishable from gen.
