The R Factory is based in Seoul, South Korea, unlike most replica factories which are in or around Guangzou China, which is why it's difficult to find info on it - just Google The R Seoul Factory.

Unconfirmed photos of the exterior of the R Seoul Factory:

I would just like to add for the OP that the R Seoul factory is top secret. To find it you must walk through Seoul at exactly midnight asking men in tight clothing for directions. They are the guardians of the secret R Seoul factory

I still have no idea why people are so attracted to subs. I'd fall asleep just checking the time

The best submariner or the very best sub?

I hear the US Navy is testing some new fusion energy subs with underwater tractor cannon and proton torpedos. That’s definitely the very best sub.

Great thing about R Factory subs is that they are so good ootb that no modding or frankening is required. Add another vote to R Factory having the best subs.

watches are changing from Time to Time and its really not much helpfull to read some bullshittish comments with „use the search Button“. This comment is dritten in any Post and really not helpfull. If I read a Post of early 2019 this is way to old for purpose of best object on the market.

I’ll fix that for you - don’t read the posts that are from early 2019. Look for the most recent ones. There ya go.

^^^^ excellent first post...

Someone even posted links in this thread.
Plus advice. You just have to read. And yes the search button helps.

Admittedly there’s hours and hours of reading you can do. But with the correct search in the correct section you’ll definitely find the info you seek.

I think we need a mega thread on how to use the search bar, if people are struggling to find it useful..

Jesus - the "auto-double-post from Tapa" gremlins have really got into RWI's works haven't they?

OP here, basically I've learned:
1) Don't get a Submariner Date because the cyclops/date window is the hardest part to fake. I'm cool with that
2) ZZF V2 is the best Submariner no date, but you need to get an ARF bracelet and a Prof crystal
3) Right now I'm talking to JTime and ChazingTime
4) I'm in no hurry and I'm will to wait/pay extra to get something that loos nearly perfect

Feel free to correct me, or make fun of me, I don't mind, but that's what I've learned through the wondrous search bar :)

Edit: Also, the reason I'm getting a Submariner is because I need the watch to seem believable. I actually could buy a used one for $8k (although then I'd basically be broke haha) but I could NEVER afford a Daytona, especially the black on in my profile picture, which is $25k used. I don't know if passing this watch off as real will be a mistake, or get me in trouble, but I think most people won't even comment on my watch, although they will notice it. Today I was talking to a co-worker with a McLaren 570S and he was wearing a Daytona. I didn't say "nice Daytona" but I definitely noticed it. I think given where I work, people will believe my watch is real. And if it helps someone notice me, or open up to me, great. If not, no worries, I'm only out $500 - $700.

None of your coworkers would think an OOB ZZF V2 is fake...Unless you work at Burger King. Even then they might assume it’s real and that you stole it while looting a Tourneau store during the US riots.

The people that can spot the minuscule nuances between the real and the fake are others who are well versed in the rep world. Your friends aren’t going to be taking a 10x loop to your watch. Or look for specific flaws with their naked eye.

Best advise I’d have for you is to be confident in who you are. People should notice you for the person you are and the kindness/joy you might bring them in life (especially in these times), not for the watch you wear.

Enough of my life lessons.....when the time comes, enjoy your new rep. Wear it in good health!

Buy a watch gen or rep for you, for your enjoyment, not for “what will they say/think”.

PS: Very few ppl have noticed my watch, I have owned it for 2 months, and gotten 2 compliments. No one has ever questioned if it is gen or not.

I've been communicating with ChazingTime and they seem pretty responsive. I've just got to decide between the ZZF and Noob v10.

After I pay, ChazingTime will send me QC pics at some point. I just learned I can't post QC pics here. But I plan to post them on reddit, is that ok? Can I share the reddit link somewhere here so you guys can go look and give me your opinion?

I'm also wondering if it's ok to make a post describing my overall experience, including a few pics once I get the watch? If yes, do I post that in the Rolex Forum or somewhere else?

Thanks!

Get any one. No replica is perfect. If you dont know what the flaws are yourself dont worry about it and enjoy the watch. 99% of people dont know or care about your watch.

Hey mate! Congratulations on finding your feet quickly. Looks like you are heading in the right direction. It's correct that no-one will be able to question your noob v10 or zzf. Save the bank account and enjoy a very very very very close experience on the wrist. The Rolex Sub is a classic for a reason, so dont listen to any sour-words. Wears great on the wrist, goes with all attire and isnt too flashy. Wear it with confidence because it actually feels like the $7k experience and it's guaranteed to make you smile when you start wearing it.

I was in your position about a month ago and purchased a Rolex Explorer 1 from Chazingtime and found the process positive. FYI, if you are in Singapore you can get a discount for a bank transfer. PM me if you need any details.
