Why are they turning out yellow? Is it the lume? Different lume application? Too much applied? Factory dogs peeing on the markers? Act of God? etc.? I'm about to order a white dial iteration but don't want to immediately think 'dog piss' each time I wear it.... BTW, really nice collection! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I genuinely recommend you get them all, they're brilliant reps. New guy late to the party here, but just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I'm in the market for a 300 in either blue or black and this image is a great way of seeing them side by side for a change. Am I right in saying the VSF v2 is the one to go for? I've been looking at Puretime and TrustyTime, but I see a lot of JTime QC pics here, is the latter preferred over the former two? Cheers.

GingerApple 7,272 Posted June 10, 2020 Whatever the latest VSF version is is what you can realistically get and that'll be the best, yes. Just make sure you don't get one with yellow lume markers in QC. As for TD, everyone has their own favourite. Out of those three, I'd use JTime, Puretime, Trusty in that order (though I use Mary normally). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See here -> Also there are no QC pics allowed on this forum. Maybe you'd better go back and read the links in the 1st post here: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah yes, I think bouncing between here, RWI and r/Reptime I've got confused with what I've seen where. You are quite right the QC pics weren't here. Sorry. (great start, eh!?)

I've seen that name mentioned a few, seems like she has a good eye for a good watch. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Find the watch you want on a TD with a good website's site (such as Puretime), copy the precise link and email it to Mary asking for price and availability and go from there. That's if you want to try her obviously; no skin off my nose either way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UKRepGuy 5 Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Couple of questions if I may... I've seem some watches say 'Basel' in the description, what does that mean? Do the VSF v2's have the sliding adjustment in the clasp? Edited June 11, 2020 by UKRepGuy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,272 Posted June 11, 2020 1 hour ago, UKRepGuy said: I've seem some watches say 'Basel' in the description, what does that mean? I think that means the Gen version of the watch was introduced at Baselworld, a (soon to be extinct) watch trade show. At least that's the only thing I can think of. 1 hour ago, UKRepGuy said: Do the VSF v2's have the sliding adjustment in the clasp? If you're talking about the 'push to adjust' thing in the clasp on the SS bracelets on the SMP300s by VSF, yes they do, they work the same as Gen. The new No Time To Die Bond watch is the exception, that's still got shortcomings compared to accuracy to Gen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UKRepGuy 5 Posted June 11, 2020 Ah I thought it might have been that, nearly said but didn't want to look daft if it wasn't! Yeah that's the one, the push to adjust, I was just looking at another site that has pic if the watch and for the first time I saw s picture of it, most sellers don't show it. Just need to decide between the blue and black one now.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
