Hey there, comrades!

I've just purchased my very first replica watch from Chasing Time.
I placed the order on Monday, December 17th, and paid with cryptocurrency on the 18th (for a juicy 20% off). Today, on the 21st, I received the QC (quality control) pictures. I quickly checked r/RepTimeQC and the IWC website, and I already approved the watch.
However, some folks are suggesting to ask for a video. Do you think that's necessary, or would it be a bit overkill? I'm not too familiar with IWC watches, so even if there are any minor differences, I wouldn't be able to spot them.

Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.

You already approved the watch, what use would a video have? Remember that QC is just to check the watch is the one you ordered, it's in working order and has no major/evident flaws. Asking for more is overkill. More of such unreasonable requests and TDs will once again raise their prices due to the extra work caused by it. The industry has worked for years without QC, the service provided today is absolutely sufficient. Many of the older members don't even look at their QC.

Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:

Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:


Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

Uhhh are you sure you bought from correct ChazingTime? Which website did you use? I don't recall CT offering a 20% discount on crypto?

My bad. They are running a xmas promo so I guess it's correct.

Usually scam websites offer huge Crypto discounts which is why I asked.

Thanks for the info Feefo. The community here is truly amazing!
Yeah, I don't think I need a video for a 280 USD watch, especially with all the good reviews about Chazing Time. Just wanted to double-check and avoid:
"Dude, you bought a watch and didn't ask for a video? ... Are you crazy? ... "
I will share some pictures once I receive the package.

A few days ago, I received the watch and it looks amazing! It's even better than what was shown on the product page of the Chasing Time website. I'm hoping that it functions properly for a long time. 🤞

Voila the watch, unfortunately it has stopped working. :confused:

I believe one of the screws got unscrewed due to the vibrations from riding a bike in the city. I went to a watch repair shop and they quoted me 280GBP to fix it. The specialist mentioned that the cost is the same whether it's a replica or not since the interior of the watch is the same.
The screw is somewhere inside the watch, and I'm wondering if there are any other ways to repair it? I checked online but nothing I could find.

Alternatively, I could order another watch, but I am open to suggestions for other "pilot-like" watches if you have any?
