I have bought more than 3 dozen watches, and each transaction took about 7-8 emails (back and forth). There were a few exceptions due to watch missing in transit, seized by customs, arriving DOA or with defect(s) not present during QC.

How many emails do you usually exchange with a TD
- Thread starter kolincio
- Start date
A recent transaction went like this:
1. Ask availability
2. TD asks me to provide a link to the watch
3. Send link, ask to pay by WU
4. Confirmed, price given
5. Ask WU details
6. WU details
7. Ask if transshipping is used because shipping fee was lower than I've seen before
8. Confirmed as transshipping
9. Send WU pickup details
10. Send shipping address
11. Additional request - sourcing an A2836 with GMT
12. TD asks if I want the movement or a watch with such movement
13. Respond that I want just the movement
14. Price confirmation
15. Send WU pickup details for additional $
16. TD says when they'll pick up the money
17. "Thank you"
18. TD confirms pickup
19. "Thank you"
20. TD says watch picked up but scratches found
21. "Ok, thanks for looking out for me"
22. TD says now factory gave wrong dial color
23. "Any updates"
24. TD sends QC pics
25. Ask if possible to adjust bezel screws (AP)
26. TD says yes and that they'll do it on their side.
27. "Thank you"
28. Adjusted QC
29. Ask for timegrapher reading
30. Sent
31. Accept QC

Really? That's nice. Mine doesn't offer them and I end up buying her Gen ones so that she leaves me alone with my reps. I probably could've saved a bundle. What's up with that jtimewatch?

Rocky road though! Because you can get away with designer handbag purchases on special occasions, but when she sees the reps, she'll want one every time you buy a watch! I've actually recently bought my first bag from my TD (Non TD here, Mary) and I'm impressed, quality seems fairly good.

Mine asked if I can get rep bags the way I get watches and she's already on 3 rep bags and wanting more. She says the quality impressed her every time.
Funnily enough when buying bags I exchange way fewer emails.

Wonder if there are womens forums where they compare different bags with gen, and argue about silly shit like the logo embossing and instant tells and stuff... maybe we need a sister site for the sisters - Replica Bag Info or something.
I would feel sorry for the TD’s - my wife would easily get through 50 emails talking smack about a bag.
A quick search tells me they do. Couldn't find a full forum but it seems they have some on Reddit as repladies and it seems like they do exactly that.

You may like to delete or edit your post - or you may find yourself in some seriously deep shit.

Sorry, I was just trying to lighten the mood. I forgot we can't swear on here; I'm too used to the Wild West next door. I apologised immediately. Soz!
