Chinanoobwatch.com is BS at Best !! These guys play themselves off as being the actual manufacturer (duh) and completely ripped me off before I did my research on this forum. First of all, they are overpriced and don't sell what they claim in their bogus catalog. They shipped me a watch that would not wind on a winder, the wheel in back was sticky and the bracelet fell apart. To make things worse, they taunted me when trying to chat with them.

I asked for a refund within the specified time, but would not honor it! I have shipped it back to them for a replacement and am not sure if I will ever even see it again. The watch actual is a nice looking AP replica, but is not the JF that they claimed...

So you found out that someone other than our TDs is a scammer....really surprised here....

I am not sure why people are using these bogus dealers. Maybe no one reads nowadays.

I believe what @tbuttery is trying to express is that if people would read nowadays before buying a rep., they would have found rep forums such as RWI in the first place and therefore prevented a disappointing experience.

Once I did do my research, I had an AMAZING transaction with Francis @ Watch Outlet! However, that is posted in another thread from earlier...

Just watch out for them too. Yes they are a trusted dealer, but they do not have any protection for seized or DOA watches. But for some the price your get that watch outweighs their risk.

Exactly what I did. I never trusted all those bs sites. And I researched and researched. Chatted with ppl until I was referred here by someone. If I never found this place I would of never ordered.

Hi all, I did the same mistake, ordered to chinanoobwatch before finding this forum .. i was a bit stupid must admit it. So i received what they call " noob V9 no date submariner". According to what I read her, it is a V7 i received and paid 500USD.. with dark dial numbers. Quality is good (V7) but you can spot that it is a fake, movement is horrible, really noisy. No surprise when I tried talking to them i just got as answer " NO Comment, kind regards" ..
