I am now and looking for my first Repelica.
I am looking at the VS/V6 Factory V2. How durable is the P9000 super clone movement?
How does this watch compare to the Noob Daytona 116500 4130 clone?

These two are the best rep of 2018/2019 imho, but for a Daytona prepare more cash to add for gen parts.
A bronzo will only cost you aftermarket straps

to add to what was said above.

The correct answer is get both. The bronzo with V2 super clone is one of the best reps of any brand....ever.

The 116500 from ARF with a noob movement and gen hands is one of the best Rolex options ever.

The Daytona takes a bit more expense to enjoy to its full potential, but the bronzo is ready to go once you buy a few good straps;)

We could add the green patina on Cu is easier to get with hot summer temperatures, so its the perfect moment now to get the 382 ;)

Do you guys swim with the leather strap?

I was thinking maybe if I treat it with Snow Seal leather waterproofing.

Steve

Use baby toilet milk when the leather is dry. And try to avoid letting the leather dry in the sun, in hot weather rhe leather will retract to the level of the lugs.

  If you use a thick leather strap, everything will be fine because it will take longer to dry

Hi some users said that the last stock of Bronzo V2 is more poor quality :

" The bezel have a different click sound and feel. I have not popped it off but it’s clearly made from different click spring materials. The new watch also feels a tad lighter "


someone else has noticed ?

Anecdotal evidence is rarely considered conclusive which is why it's the lowest form of evidence in court (picked that up from Neil deGrasse Tyson). Your quote only mentions the click spring, which weighs what, 20 grams? To be able to discern something less than that (since you're replacing it with something lighter, and not with air) on a watch that weighs 20x, is nothing short of extraordinary. Unless they work as an analog weighing scale at the local jeweler. :)

Lighter is not the first adjective for the Bronzo :)

What's it weigh without the buckle? Just curious because some of the earlier posts were talking about weight variations.

Is that a VSF?
