Hello People of RWI,
Pt. 1–Mistake
I’m fresh-off-the-boat to the rep world and I have to say I love everyone on this sites enthusiasm a great deal—it’s pretty neat how heady y’all are with your watch knowledge, also the avoidance of paying full retail by super rep hunting is genius... you guys are awesome.
So, after reading one—and only one—article that did little more than explain the existence of this watch, I felt as though I had sufficiently done my research and ordered this “NOOB 904L V8 2836” from a seller on DHGate... apparently yikes. Turns out the only knowledge I was equipped with prior to completing the sale was actually not much (if any) at all.
Having failed to dig any deeper I inadvertently neglected to utilize the wealth of information available here (i.e. order from TD, ensure QC, et al such important steps to follow during the process)—sooo I’m wondering how I did..? Cyclops alignment aside, are there any glaring issues I can improve in attempts to do a little after-the-fact QC? If so please let me know, I'd really appreciate it...

Pt. 2 — Retribution (?)
I realize this is likely an optimistic outlook on whether or not part 2 constitutes “retribution”, as I’ve read that Portuguese are not easy reps to make... either way, I feel much better that I followed up this novice ball-drop by purchasing the IWC IW371446 ZF V3 after going through the proper, recommended channels with the nice folks at InTime. Does anyone have any input on this rep..? I’ve read some good things, but I’d love some feedback from people who know more than me.
I apologize for the length of my inaugural post here... I know there’s something to be said about brevity, however I just wanted to get this all out in one shot. If you’re still here, I appreciate you tons—thanks for any input you’re willing to float my way, cheers!
