Hi There! I ordered watches years ago from TS watch and had a good experience. I was going to order from them again and I noticed they are no longer considered a TD... did something happen such that they are no longer trustable or did they just stop participating in the forums? Does anyone know the history? Can they still be trusted? (even if not a TD?)

They are still pretty good, at least if you don't have issues with the watch or delivery. If you pay for somethig, they will send it.

Looks like the chief at TSW is changed and that they are less reliable than before. That's why they lost TD status almost everywhere...
(My info are from the fora... I wasn't there a couple of years ago...)

Ive bought all my reps from TSWATCH. With PWS price they cant be beat :) Im very happy with the purchases so far. Just buy PWS; youæll never send a rep back to china anyways.

I have ordered a deep sea from tswatch PWS $403 + shipping + bitcoin fees = about $440. It was all going well. Then usps "could not find address" and sent it back to China! Now they want $25 to try again. By the way tswatch had the address correct. Mark is very good at keeping communication open.

I ordered wholesale from Mark years ago and am contemplating another order

Wholesale prices very good. Agree their post sale service isn't great but if you go wholesale you aren't paying for that

Bitcoin fees?? Has anyone posted a tutorial how to avoid? Other than Miner fees which are just a few cents all other Bitcoin fees are avoidable. Use coin base and cb pro

About the watch: It is my first "rep Rolex" the 126600. Red: SEA DWELLER. 904L steel per the site and ARF spec., It is a highly detailed and refined work of art. The only thing that has me a bit disappointed is that the bezel turns very easily with the lightest of contact. Rotates Counter-clockwise only, so that is working as expected.

Overall TSWatch has performed as well as any "trusted" dealer.

I have to take back my previous words "If you pay for something, they will send it." I opened the watch and found generic movement instead of replica as they advertised on their website. So I got a watch, it just does not match what I ordered.

I got it PWS (price without service) as I won't be sending it back even if it breaks down and accept the risk. However they seem to think it means they can send what ever weaker reps instead of watches they advertise.

PWS also means that if watch is seized, Ts-watch won’t send replacement???

Hello guys, first post but I felt like I have to warn the community. I was really trying to save money but looking back so not worth it. Bought a few watches from TSWATCH and it turned out it was the worst experience ever. just stick with current TDs. You might save a few bucks but they will not honor anything they said. Their QC is so so bad.

I'm in negotiation with a piece from TS station now. I've asked them about there non TD status at RWI and have asked them to comment. I'll keep you posted.
