This is my first rep order after lurking on r/reptime and recently finding this forum.

I am not interested in pretending this is a real Rolex, but obvious quality issues will bug me so I think that I have chosen a pretty good first rep. At $500 it doesn't just have to look Ok but actually function as a decent watch for more than few weeks, so fingers crossed.

8 Dec 2022 Contact with Steve was made through @Theonewatches_steve on telegram to confirm stock availability.
8 Dec 2022 Details agreed and payment made via Wise. A bit of a faf getting the details right for the transfer. Perhaps this is just an issue with Chinese banks as I needed more than just the swift details, or maybe Wise have tightened up their transfer process. Steve was helpful throughout and the transfer is now processing.

As the watch is in stock hopefully the QC process won't take too long. Will update.

10 Dec 2022 QC photos and video received.

11 Dec 2022. GL after questioning the rehaut alignment, confirmed by Steve to just be the angle of photo and all good. Still waiting for payment to clear his end, not helped by straddling a weekend.

13 Dec 2022 Tracking provided. Initial indication by Steve was for 12 days to the UK.

20 Dec 2022 - Package arrived at Royal Mail sorting facility.

22 Dec 2022 - Watch in hand! Pretty impressive performance from RM, in the circumstances.

Many thanks to Steve. On first inspection, the watch is excellent and delivery beat the 12 days suggested.
My only suggestion to @steve_theonewatches would be for better quality QC photo's. I had some doubt from the pictures supplied (due to the jpg compression) as to how well aligned the rehaut would be (it is perfect as Steve confirmed by message) but clear hi-res pics would have given me more confidence from the start.

Now off to chose my next watch....
