So I just picked this up from Lucy (truetime)
Very hard to source. So I Iove the watch but u had freaking ocd. The dead give away Is the band, on all rep bands the tie strap in red has white underneath it, on the original band it ends after the red, see pics.

So since I have to screw with things, I used an Exacto knife and trimmed it. Much much better. Now It’s alittle too shiny it’s gotta be more Matte finish, that’s project number 2

This looks really nice.
Well done and thank you for the tip.
Wear it in good health.
Your pictures convinced me and I initiated the process of getting one of these.

The rep strap is decent it’s not bad, but not like a oem leather strap, I think you would be able to source a higher quality rep strap from here

From the pics it’s correct
https://www.partsforwatch.com/produ...5137&utm_campaign_id=368552&utm_prod_id=42050

It’s about 130

They have a cheaper one for like 40 which is incorrect which is pretty much the one on the watch that I trimmed.

Oem is like $600. Not worth it. My trimming method worked well, looks great. Once it wears out I’ll try the link above and get that one, hopefully the underside is purple

I've read that the moonphase on these TWF reps actually does a 15-day cycle. Can't confirm it myself as I don't have one in-hand, but that's what I recall reading when I was looking into these.

Honestly I’m not even sure if it’s 2 weeks or 4 weeks, it’s a pretty good rep for what it is, I feel like the color of the tongue is off

Assuming your new, no website unless it’s a
Td here- and it’s their site, only use a td- too many scams and nonsense here. Same with if someone random douche pm’s you and has one to sell and is not an established member that everyone knows, these people pray on this. I just saved your a few hundred bucks lol

I own thre and am happy with them. I cannot compare to the original as I never seen an original in person. I heard Chaykin is now producing a 40mm model. Must surely look nice as well downsized.
