I would personally stick to the dealers in the trusted dealers section of this forum. They have proven to be reliable for many members of this forum.

why would a noob especially ( of which I am one) take the risk of dealing with a new site when they are plenty of trusted dealers on this forum to deal with. Some people just look for trouble.

I've just purchased a watch from Alex at topswiss and i've got to say it was totally flawless.

Watch is 100% and has provided me with a years warranty.

Slightly more expensive than buying direct from china but Alex takes all of the risk out of it and offers a good service within the U.K

I'll be dealing with him again, thats for sure!!

Pictures of gens, credit card only and the usual rhetoric about Grade 1 AAAA+....... I wouldn't take the risk. PT and Narikaa are UK based so it seems daft to take a punt with an unknown site.....

I'm sorry to say but you've been had... $171 for a 21J/quartz rep? :|

As for the OP:

DO NOT buy from topswiss, you can get better prices for the same if not better watches from any of our dealers, and since all the stuff they have at that site are 21J and quartz watches then http://www.watcheden.com is your best bet, you can get the same watches they offer for $88 with free shipping from a TRUSTED DEALER... and topswiss is NOT in the UK:

Country : Russian Federation
Ip Address : 89.108.71.204

If you need a dealer in the UK then Narikaa is your man, excellent dealer I can personally vouch for, does not drop ship and has great QC:

21J watch for $171!!! That is expensive, the most I'll pay for a 21j movement is the DSSD at $128 at an amazing value...

Sorry to chime in late on this one but I wanted to share my experience with TopSwiss.

Long before I found this forum, I spent ages trying to find a good quality replica watch. I eventually settled on a Planet Ocean Pumpkin. Remember at the time I didn't know a UPO from a lite so I took the plunge with TopSwiss.

I paid £125 for an early version replica that probably should have cost around $80!
There was nothing wrong with the service, I paid and received the watch around a week later. What most noobs, like me, failed to understand is just because he sends a watch doesn't make him a great dealer.
The watch is utter crap and I am embarrssed to wear it. The strap is way to thin for the watch, the leather is brittle and to top it off, the crown stripped ( I know this is a common problem with most PO's)

To sum up: I was charge far too much for a cheap replica therefore making TopSwiss a scam site

Stick with all of the advice in this post and all the other hundred threads and buy from the trusted sellers

Good luck

let me sum that up:

a website that claims to be in the UK, selling top swiss made replicas, ( which are imported from china ) and the seller sits in russia.....

look for our dealers in here that have served members well for long time.....

Most scam sites provides a "Guide to Replicas" telling you how to choose between Swiss and Jap replicas, which grade and how others sites are overcharging. After I discovered RWI, I realised that its a heap of junk words to cheat our money...

Before I discovered this site (about 3 weeks ago) I had come so close to buying watches from other dealers. I had seen "rip off" reports on the net who not to buy from etc. I stumbled on this site by pure chance and spent loads of time just being a guest. Now I've joined up and being a noob and probably annoying the long timers here but I can't fault there advice and suggestions.
I'm about to take the plunge soon and I feel very confident that i won't be dissapointed.
If all else fails read the instructions given.
