I was scrolling through the list of TDs. And I realized there could be problems for anyone and everyone. Like the custom seizing the watch to delivery man stealing. To TDs sending the wrong product to to wrong person. Receiving an empty package Etc. And I am thinking of making a first purchase with puretime watch for my first Rolex rep 116610 ln vsf. What do you guys think of this? Just wanted you to know if it would be a good one for my first time.

Well, most of the problems that you've mentioned can happen to you when buying legitimate goods from regular online shops, they can send a wrong product by mistake or package can get lost, doesn't happen often but there's always that chance ;)
Anyway, any from the Trusted Dealers can get you the watch you want if only it is still produced, they source from the same factories and usualy they don't keep stock, so once you order they have to get the watch from factory.
Please also keep in mind that TD's sites are not updated on regular basis so it's always recomended to first check with the TD if the watch you want is still available, before you place your order.
Regarding your worries, they are called Trusted Dealers for a reason, they are reliable and they deliver, and if there is any problem with your order they will do their best to fix it.

Please also make sure that you use the website address and TD's contact that are listed in the TD section, as there are some sites pretending to be for example PureTime, so never google TD sites, only use the address listed here.

thank you for taking your time to explain everything and giving me really great info for a newbie. Like me. I was going through some things. And someone told me not to use a TD that asks to pay in credit card. But also pure time has also been around for very long that I also want to go with them. But they only accept credit cards now. What’s your opinion on this matter. Sorry for bombarding with so many questions.

My advice with any TD purchase is NOT to order directly from their website. Get their contact details (email, WhatsApp or whatever) from their forum section here on RWI, and contact them directly to check they can source the rep you want. Then, you can usually make payment via the email thread, following their instructions. It's far better to do it this way, communicating directly with TD staff.
