Bought 2 watches offline, wondering if I need to get them serviced.

Hey y'all. I am very new to rep watches ( 1 week), but have been reading up on RWI and after I bought some reps offline from craigslist.

One is a Rolex Yacht Master II and one is a Audemars Piguet 15450. They are the newest models according to him. Also, he said they run great, but I was just wondering do I need to service them just in case. Because I've read on here to get some of them serviced when you get them in the mail.

So anyways, thank y'all!

Don’t service them if they run okay.

Show us some photos so we can help out.

In the future use our trusted dealers to make sure you get what you pay for and at a good rate.

Makers, movements, etc would help you get a more pointed answer. Personally i only send them out for service if there's an issue, same as Maron .

If you compare the resale prices of the M2M sales or even the TD sales price, how does it compare to what you paid for it? I ask because the forum generally catches and exposes those who try to profit.

The guy said they are the latest models. He said that the yacht master has a mod done to the bezel. And that the ap has a mod to the crystal. Maybe a "prof xtal" or something like that. I can't remember exactly what he called it.

I paid $775 for both. I didn't know what a TD was or how to buy rep watches until after I bought these. Which is when I learned about rwi. I probably would have bought different watches because I like some other ones better, but I still thought you had to go to China to get one. He said the mods were $70 for the Yacht master mod and $120 for the AP mod so I felt like I was getting on ok deal.

Sorry for the late response by the way. It has been a very busy couple of weeks at work.
