Hi Rwi replica forum members!

Can you provide feedback on the below watch and help verify whether it is from VSF Factory?

---------

It's a long story but I am a newbie to rep watches and this dealer has tried to scam me before. Prior to finding out about this forum, I had no idea how to purchase a rep watch even though I always wanted one. My wife previously had purchased a few rep handbags from a dealer so I decided to contact him for the below model - YM 226659 42mm Black Ceramic Bezel.

To ensure I get a good quality rep watch that's not easily noticeable, I went through a couple of Youtube videos and learned that VSF or CF factory produces the best quality Rolex reps. After careful consideration, I decided to go with VSF and placed an order through my wife's dealer.

A few weeks later eventually, I received the watch but as soon as I held it in my hand, I knew something was wrong. Everything about the watch was off - The crown at 12'o clock was misaligned, the engraving on the back was very poor quality, and the movement inside of the watch didn't even have 3235 or a Rolex mark engraved.

I was furious because while waiting for the watch I was filled with excitement and thrilled. I did a ton of research while waiting to only find out that these go for $500-600 when I had paid $800+ for it but honestly, I didn't care because I just wanted a good quality watch. So as soon as I noticed the poor quality, I reached out to the dealer to request a refund and after a very long conversation, the dealer agreed to take back the watch and send a proper VSF versioned watch. Below is what I received after 2.5 months since placing the order.

Definitely I purchased my 2nd and 3rd watch through a TD on the forum but made a mistake with the first watch above

Hello Sir,

Based on the photos, the watch may be a VSF.
The movement is clearly the 3235 used by VSF.

The quality of the photos is not very outstanding, but it is most likely a VSF watch.

I recommend that you look at a couple of TD pages or maybe other people's QC photos and compare them yourself.

Agree it does not look like a vsf. But i could be wrong. Check the serialnumber?
I own the GM and it looks like that! Imho , pure subjectivity, seller is flipping a GM as a VS for a sexy markup! OP if you ever want a new watch’ send me a PM and I’ll guide you.
