As a level headed Moderator, I would not usually head to bashing a new member, but @Tony_Tarba It seems that you have joined the forum and within days made an order for something that your expectations were clearly too high for. I would suggest that you spend some more time familiarizing yourself with how the rep game works.

I mean this with all seriousness, and in no way is there anything else meant by this, but this hobby may not be for you. You want Rolex quality, buy a Rolex. You want a Rolex Warranty Card, buy a Rolex. You want Rolex Service, buy a Rolex. You want Rolex time keeping, buy a Rolex. However, if you wish to appreciate 95% quality, are prepared to wait (potentially more than a month) to receive what you paid for, and don't give a crap if a watch loses 30 seconds a day, as tomorrow you will likely wear another anyway, then reps are the way to go.

Several of your comments cause me great concern if I'm honest, especially the issue over the warranty card. May I just be 100% clear - this community do not tollerate people attempting to 'pass off' a rep as genuine, especially if there is an intention to sell or make a profit from it.

If that is not your intention, great, but I don't see the relevance of having (or not) a warrty card for a REPLICA watch
But bro.

He spent half of his salary on this. Have some compassion.

UN POCO DE COMPASSION POR FAVORRRRRR!!!

Reading that post made my eyebrows raise.

Taking into account that you are a new member here at RWI & assuming you haven’t much experience in the „rep game“ ,
I have some questions for clarification.

You state:

The watch arrived marked (following transport?)
can you upload some pictures that shows what you mean?
-
- no QC
was that an agreed part of the deal?
Let me answer them for you…..

QC pics after work, watch sent in this exact conditions (stickers on)



His pics conplaining it’s scratched:

Clasp pics look indeed like the stickers were taken off with a screwdriver

For the band start near the clasp, Looks like red Sticker Tape still on

I break a spear in favor of @Nikz19
many times we have proposals from various members with very high needs, and we try to satisfy them, based on our experiences and possibilities of being able to work on them. there are members who know how it works, that a Rep cannot become a gen. but there are members (especially noobs) who are so demanding that they remain dissatisfied, because their expectations are higher than they should be. Unfortunately it is not their fault, but the bad information in the groups, of various pseudo gurus who influence and manipulate these ill-informed kids in the Rep world and especially Franken. for the caliber, unfortunately they are replicas, they have a different movement adjustment compared to a gen. so much so that travel can affect the parameters. giving negative feedback to nick seems exaggerated to me. unfortunately from my experience, I advise you to select customers, to avoid this.

Some people need social skills to have a business, others only need their work. I have more confidence in the second ones

Rolex gives the gloves out for free after you purchase a Daytona. With that being said, it will take a minimum of five years to get the call and about $30K in Rolex watches in those five years. And the $14,500 MSRP price now will probably be around $20,000 in five years.
What you will look like getting added and then what you look like waiting to get the call.

Seems reasonable

How do I get on the list? I’ve been wanting to waste my money, you know a guy? Seems like @Nikz19 does 🤣
