New member...just getting into this a few months ago. Did most of my digging and research AFTER my first order...lessons learned. Appreciate all of the info on this website. My journey so far. (please let me know and I can delete website info, if not allowed).

Order 1: Primewatchmart. I placed this a bit ago and we've had a shaky transaction, but are working it out. I've received 2/3 and the last should be shipping soon.

- Daytona 126500LN 40mm Super Clone with the 4131 movement. Factory unknown. I'm pretty sure I did not get the SC grade, rather the AAA. There are a few light issues on the outside. Bracelet feels a bit flimsy, although no droop. Easylink functions as it should. I sized it and pulled it apart. The movement has zero engraving, although it looks ok. I haven't found much on the gen vs rep 4131. Crown was noisy, which I quieted down with a tiny biyt of lubrication. 6 o'clock engraving is off. Box/pillow/wipe are definitely average. This one is going to my son.

- Submariner 116610LN 40mm Super Clone with the 3135 movement. Factory unknown. Sized and tore it apart. The movement looks like a VR3135, based on the long movement thread. It looks nice and clean. The bracelet feels firm and right. The Glidelock works flawlessly. Looking at everything under magnification...it looks really great. I'm super stoked with this one and really enjoy wearing it. Box is teh same as the other. Definitely happy with this one.

- Yacht Master Titanium 226627 42mm Super Clone with the ETA 3235 movement. I have not received this one yet and don't know much about the movement...we'll see.

Order 2: Necoclocks. Order placed

- GMT Master II 126710 40mm Bruce Wayne with the DD3285 movement. States it's from CF.

- Explorer II 226570 42mm with the DD3285 movement. States it's from CF.

- Sea Dweller 126600 43mm with the VS3235 movement. States it's from VS.

Pics and updates as they all arrive.

Thanks again to everyone for their info in this forum. It greatly helps us newbies.

Doing research after already ordering is a pretty well-trodden path, many have been there. Welcome.

Welcome, you’re obviously here to learn so my advice is read, read, read!

Yes indeed. Took the backs off again after....reading reading reading. Hard lesson to learn. Thanks to @dogwood for his write up on the guide to movements.

Sub actually has a VR3135. I was hoping for the VS3135 since...."Superclone". I ordered a VS3135 and will swap it in when it arrives. We'll see.

Daytona actually has the 7750 in it, not the 4130. I was hoping for a DD4130 or a Noob 4130 because....."Superclone". Would definitely explain the grittiness and few other things that are "off".

I can only guess what the TT Yacht Master will have.

I'm willing to bet the Neco's will be as advertised when they arrive.

Lesson to other newbies....read read read...oh and read some more. Also, that whole TD list. I should have referenced that. I tend to do dumb shit so...not a shock. I have to always learn the hard way.

Example being: I set up my archery target in front of some water pipes when dialing in a new bow sight

You’ll be smarter than me in record time- at least with reps, and potentially still with plumbing.
