Where your daughter is
Ok, saw a vid by BW about 6 mo ago and liked it but had other watches on the brain and now just say another Watch on Wrist video (which I do look at their vids a lot) and it just kind of hit me how good these look and that I would like to see them repped, lol. I looked on here and didn't really see much on them. I saw Trusty's site and they have shitters. Not the correct case shape, crown, etc, just garbage reps probably not 38mm either. These look like proper, dressier watches and a good size. The older 41.5 I have and I try to like it but it's just kind of huge looking and with 20mm lug width just accentuates that fact. I like all the polish on these too and since it's smallish 38mm it makes it not as flashy.

I'm really hoping these get replicated. The 38mm old versions from 2015 or so were by a lesser factory were pretty good but just not quite there for me to buy a second and wore quite thick. I think the market is more accepting of these 38mm's now and I like the refinements made. I'm not a huge fan of the horizontal teak dials but I like these clean metallic dials. Anyway, enjoy the pics and we can have our fingers crossed that these get repped by a good factory.

Yep want the RED and ORANGE one so bad but TT only has the 41mm shitters. Almost just want to buy a shitter but sooo tired of waiting :(

I'll keep bitching and moaning and maybe that will help.

Might not be a bad idea and they could scratch the itch and they're not very expensive. I think I also saw the same ones on aliexpress for a similar price which would probably arrive more quickly but I couldn't find them just now when I went looking and I don't remember what I must have been searching when I stumbled upon them.


Could also go the homage route. These look similar.

I don't think there's any well repped <40mm aquaterra out atm. My hopes aren't too high for this one.
Common pattern I see is that the larger size watches 41mm+ gets priority in the rep game.

too bad - would also like to see the 38mm version. >40 doesn't fit to everyone....

Any news on this?? Tried on a gen and it wears great. Feels more like a 39-40 than 38 IMO

for me watches on bracelets always tend to be more present, even more if the watch has lots of polished parts. just realized this when trying an explorer 39mm (whereby i really like my 40mm mark xx watch on a leather strap), the explorer has much more presence and i really could go smaller on the explorer from my perspective.

We need to start a petition to get vsf to make these… hello, VSF are you listening? :)
Yes :)
- VSF are you listening? :rolleyes:
I hope there will be a quality 38mm replica soon.
I was so impatient that I already bought the San Marten 38mm (homage to the Aqua Terra 38)
And Yes - the 38mm looks great on the wrist.

I'll take a sandstone or green anytime.
I try the teak dial and shades. The teak dial looks great on photo, but the shade is better in person. Also, the bracelet of the shade looks like a Day-Date bracelet, really sweet.

Love my VSF 41mm but the 38mm case suits this watch so much better IMO.

Know your wrist size? I'd really like the white face/orange second hand AT in a 38, on a black rubber strap. Just don't care for the bracelet polished mid links. Probably a pipedream though. I'm surfing for 39 Explorer I as the 36 is too small for my 7.4 (8.5cm) wrist, IMO.
