So strange that all these pics show white SW hands. I ordered one and am in discussion with dealer (not approved one on here, will post about him later on) as mine show light green.
DW misaligned. We pay over $1.000,00 to get a rep with many flaws, Name PP and Geneva nog aligned well... Asked for new and all are bad. And he keeps pushing and telling me it costs him money.
I will stop buying rep watches as it's headache and headache with some dealers who want to make money without giving a good service.

Go with the dealers that are TDs here and you would have a better service for sure.

No, not him. I will post e story about my experiences on here when the time is right.
Sooner the better, man, you should at least mention his name and wechat ID so that any other members searching the forum for information know and don't fall into the trap

I have noticed too that sw printing is not 1:1 to gen, also at their 5712 dial the same. Actually rep dial wise in general ,the only 1:1 printing i have seen is from clean at their new gmt master

Also I have the SW dial, DW and hands. QC is so crap at them, they send out really bad dials with glue on the numbers, misaligned text and soon. Had 6 ones rejected by the anger of my TD.
Now I have it in my hands I can see many flaws.

Anybody knows when Buff and SW will bring out a new version with better number shape to gen, non-sticker hour markers and so on?
(sometimes I believe they make small changes on purpose to keep us buying again and again)

SW is one of the problems, alao the TD who doesn’t push SWF to do a better job. The chinese laugh at us, we pay and they have all control and power. There should be a new system where we pay half upfront and half when delivered. Let’s see how this would improve the quality given.

I waited over 4 months to have my watch and mods to be completed. Even when I received it I saw the things that were wrong with my watch.
GEEKTIME is a guy to avoid. He is a liar, cheater and ask for more money all the time. His watch smith which is an amateur, damaged the dial twice, misaligned the hour and minute hands, dust on dial after sending it back to GEEKSHIT GUY. And this a…hole dares to ask me more money five times as the watch smith needs more work and postage costs.
You can guess I didn’t pay extra as he already charged me extra for SW. datewheel and hands, $358 + 50 + 50 and $100 for the watch smith.

So many lies from this guys and even very respectless how he treats customers, complete scumbag he is.
When sending the 3KF modded Aquanaut I asked for the 3KF dial, hands and DW, he said it was swapped and he didn’t have it. Well first time I got really angry and said I will report him, then immediately he said he found the 3KF Dial, DW and hands…

Much more expriences on this sale with this guy, all on whatsapp.
I did buy two watches before from him, and they were just common Clean Factory watches without extras and those purchases and proces was okay.

Long story short, some fabrics and dealers screw us, some are good. But we need to get more in control with payments, as money is everything for chinese, and get better quality and service.
