tribefan 6,768 Posted August 30, 2020 I was wearing mine on Friday whilst reading the best rolex sub debates and said to myself that this watch is exactly why I don't feel compelled to chase those. I'd rather wear this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I genuinely recommend you get them all, they're brilliant reps. I know this is from May, but this is a seriously nice collection, Need to take a cold shower now... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UKRepGuy 5 Posted January 28, 2021 Hi all! Rather than start a new thread I thought I'd post here. https://www.watchgecko.com/vintage-tropical-style-rubber-watch-strap-by-zuludiver I'm tempted by this strap for my black 300M but I'm not sure about the spring bar options. 0.9mm or 1.1mm? Which should I go for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonyh7 235 Posted February 27, 2021 Those vsf omegas are just too tempting. I've got a seamaster no time to die and the quality is outstanding. The temptation is to get another semaster 300 - you know a kind of pokemon gotta get them all thing. But the aqua terras look pretty tasty too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you gotta scratch that itch, or if you just can't decide on which one, the gate versions of these are really pretty nice for the money. I give them to my 20 something kids to wear, and I've already had to replace a crystal on one . But you can pick them up for around $70-$80 and flip them for $50-$60 if you tire of them. Eating 20 bucks is a lot better then eating the shipping and discount on a used VSF. On this one, the bezel is metal, the date is the wrong color and the finish on the bracelet is not the quality of the VSF, but on the wrist it looks great and wears nice, lot of weight to it. Here's the RG version I replaced the crystal on after my kid bashed it around. Sapphire crystal was $20 on Ali and took about 10 minutes to replace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got the list from Mary yesterday - actually, she sent a photo array. I may be incorrect, but I believe that model is on the top row, far right of the 42MM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
