I imagine some people on this forum have, doubt they would openly admit to it out shameful naivety.
I suggest you spend some time looking around the forum. A more attractive proposition will present itself almost immediately.

You are wrong, try to search "Aliexpress" or "DHGate" you find many results (example: https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/dhgate-collection.321673), just search.
I think instead it is difficult to find Alibaba because as far as I know it is a B2B trade

Trusted Dealers on RWI are are Trusted Dealers for a reason.
I would suggest guiding newbies to them rather than the gamble of DH, Aliexpress or Alibaba.

I’d avoid. I’ve heard of sellers switching products. If you see a vsf advertised for the price of a shitter. You’ll be lucky to get a shitter. Try complaining they sent you the wrong rep. Ali refund policy is bad for legit stuff. It’s not worth it I’d stick with our tds.

Good reps on these sites are way overpriced. You will get a better deal, and a better product if you purchase from a TD or on the M2M section .

I dont like how you have zero protection once the money leaves your account with pretty much every TD ive seen, just not comfortable with it..

It’s a buyers market. You are free to place your money and trust wherever you choose to.
I think you would be stupid to go anywhere else but the TD’s here. My two cents

I always bought just from our TD´s - but there are discontinued Watches that no TD can source anymore like i.e. Porsche Diver or a NOMOS Tangente/Tangomat, which i would try to buy from these Sources. If i would only knew, wich of these DH or Ali-Seller are reliable, and which are not so....

just gotta do the research and its same stuff and cheaper and faster..if the TD was so trusted why not accept some sort of payment that the buyer is protected with? your watch gets seized its gone and so is the money, if I never receive a item I used paypal for I get it back..that said im not a paypal fan for getting paid..just my 2cents and ive bought alot of things on alibaba not just watches over the years

Im not trying to have an argument with you. Your view is based on your experiences and is valid and valued. I’d just say that all the mods here are fair and offer balanced views. Should anything happen untoward between a member and a TD a ticket should be raised and it will be looked into and sorted out to the point of a fair conclusion. Should a TD not work with the mods and they find the TD to be acting nefariously, they will not be a TD for long.
Anyway good look to all in their endeavours for the grail.

I agree with both of you, just think the mod in here and TDs are the "Paypal paiment", that's true words are words but I never saw a thread with seizez watch or anything that bad. If there is a problem the good people are willing to help.

I used Alibaba a lot for harvesting parts, rep clasps from bracelets, cartel mid cases, etc. and I’ve been scammed on Alibaba at least 4 times. Of course I got my money back in the end. But I’ve never once had a TD pull anything shady on me. So I use TD’s for anything important or costly and Ali for anything cheap without much risk or immediate need.
