Preferred Factory?

[corpuszero]

I think most people probably prefer VSF, but what's your favorite? Does it also depend on which watch you're in the market for? i.e. Looking for a Pelagos but don't believe VSF makes that. I've heard ZF and XF are the factories to be looking at.

Different reps different factories, your question is logically wrong. Plus I didn't see Clean.

R factory would be the choice for Subs, GMT, Daytona and actually all Rolex models...

Each factory has its unique brand or piece that they do the very best over everyone else.

I prefer VSF wherever they make a Rolex or Omega.

I prefer ZF for Tudor Black Bays.

I prefer XF for Tudor Pelagos.

Welcome to RWI!

I'm sure @eBay will formally welcome you, but just as a quick answer, there's no best factory for every kind of replica. VSF makes a lot of Rolex, as do others, such as Clean Factory, and every one has some sort of flaw so that it would take 2 or 3 of the same watch to make a near perfect one.

I'm not sure about the regular Pelagos; I think it's made by ARF, which by the way also makes the Tudor Deepsea. The Pelago MN is made by M+ factory.

Start your journey by reading here for a week or two, before you do anything else and enjoy!

My preferred factory:

 

[Maximillian]

 

[dpd3672]

Personally, I prefer the 1016 lovers factory, which makes the specific, obscure vintage models that keep my cold, black heart pumping.

Sure, everyone makes a Submariner or a Datejust, but how many factories specialize in well worn Explorer variants, quartz Oysters, Railmasters, or fantasy collaborations?!?

Of course, if there was any real market for the goofy models built there, I'm sure someone would have been all over it years ago, lol.

Really glad to see this message! Been wanting to pull the trigger on a Pelagos and thought ZF made them better but will look into XF instead.

This favourites list is a good recommendation.

Love it.

Is JDF and GMF the same factory?

 

[tokidoki]

Was wondering about GMF also..
