Hi there, first time poster here!

Can i just say this place is amazing, so many knowledgable people on here. Thanks for all the amazing insight, now I can’t stop thinking about my next rep! Did someone say rabbit hole?!

In have just GL’d this. I was advised this is a VSF, can one of the experts confirm pls?

I don’t recognise this serial number from the reading I have done on this forum.

I have more photos if anyone is interested, apologies if I have broken any rules! This watch has been paid for, I got fomo and bought it as there are not many left.

If i have broken any rules let me and I will delete this post immediately.

Thanks guys

I put my hand in the fire that you didn't order this watch from a TD on the forum here, right?

Now they paid a VSF and got a bullshit U1 in my eyes.

Same seller, same lie.

Thank you, Glidelock. Appreciate your good eyes.

So... Who's the dealer who sent you these pics?

D’oh! I feel like an idiots!

I have more pics. Should I post them? For the purpose of helping others to not do what I did! And save their hard earned cash.

What have I bought? Is it a piece of junk?

Hi derjenigewelcher

…bullshit U1.

the clasp has U1N on it. I’m guessing that’s what you were referring to? Put me out my misery! Have a been stung big time?

Doesn't look that bad to be honest.

It looks considerably better than the U1's on DHGate, however, this is not a VSF. Did you get a shot of the movement as part of your QC's?

Mine was from a respected TD on a sister forum, however, I am not going to call them out as it may have just been a mix up of watches. newest dude on the forum I am giving them the benefit of the doubt because of this.

Yours and Wawawasim QC pictures look almost identical. Very likely the same dealer.

I have a question about the S/N of the latest examples of the VSF 126610LV. Having read thru this whole thread I’ve seen the S/N as starting with 2R… I just received QC’s of a VSF with the S/N beginning with 3M88… Can anyone confirm if this is a legit VSF or something else, as I have not seen this S/N pop up anywhere else.
(BTW: I’ve also asked for extra pics of additional dates as the “20” looks shunted to the left too much.)

Thnx guys. Here’s my pic:

In my opinion we are this moment we can't even trust a S/N. I just bought a 126610LN from a guy with the 2R..Serial and I'm so sure it isn't a VSF. In my case I just wanted the watch for spare parts. The movement for an ARF 41 DJ and the rest in case something brakes on my 126610LV. At the moment I received the watch I realized it wasn't a VSF case, crystal and bracelet were different.

I don't know if the watch was a rep of the rep or the seller had so much time and energy to change the rehaut in order to sell the watch as a VSF. Now I don't even want to sell it because I don't feel confident.

You may well be correct. At the very least his datewheel is well centered and the S/N appears almost identical. I just checked Andrew's website and have not been able to find that S/N on any other 126 series watch, so I am still not sure which factory it came from. Am waiting to hear back regarding the questions I sent back on the QC pics.

 

[R2L]

Jakeson, do you have a pic of your movement? Only VSF has a true clone of the 3235 so it is easy to tell from that if you have a gen VSF or somethng else. My QC did not include a movement pic so that is why i posted here.

 

[Wawawasim]

Here are all my QC pics

 

[newest dude on the forum]

Bag and tags look like what came with my VSF, but my VSF did not have that 904L plastic on it. I had a standard VSF SN. Also your warranty card says LV, but you've got an LN. That seems weird too.

Looks fine to me

No need to feel stupid, many replica websites look appealing and legit but very few of them are actually clean dealers. It's a lesson to learn, we've all been through that.

All "noobsomething" websites are scam, or at least untrustfull. The real Noob (don't know what that means today lol) is a factory, it does not have a dealer website nor sells online.
Anyhow, this is why RWI and sister forums enforce a drastic process to validate dealers as trusted for their community.

I asked for a pic of the movement and he said he will not open the backcase to take photos. Is that a big red flag?

 

[Watchguy369]

Yes!
Also "Noob" is red flag in shop name.
please, stick to the "Trusted dealer" List of this forum and you will grt what you pay.
he wanted to sell you a 80usd watch.
change dealer, even if he is kind/nice in whatsapp chats.

change to:

jtime.io (email, whatsapp on website)
trustytime.io (email on webite)
