Hi all, new member here. Kind of a newbie question, is it preferred to use real name or a pseudonym? I guess the address has to be the real one if you are placing an order. Curious as to what's standard practice regarding these concerns. Thanks!

Depends on your country. In conus it's not illegal to own a rep, just to sell. You might get it confiscated at customs for being counterfeit but generally speaking it's ok to use your real name. If you have reservations about it, use a p.o.box.

I've bought several from Trusty Time and never had an issue using my real name and address. The trick is ...... Patience... It takes a while to get your watch. Upto 2 months due to covid and stricter customs checks.
