My over all first experience buying a rep watch:

05/07/23 Payment received (rothenwatch)
06/07/23 QC photos (watch) received and confirmed
06/07/23 QC photos (time graph) received and confirmed
07/07/23 Parcel ready for shipping
08/07/23 Shipped
14/07/23 Arrived at facility
17/07/23 Impatiently waiting for the mailman




So far the experience with Ryan has been very good. Further report will follow as soon as the watch finally arrives.

Why would that matter? It's a fake warranty card for a fake watch.

It's not a rhetorical question, but an honest curiosity. Maybe there's a good & legit reason for it that I'm not thinking of.

Unfortunately I cannot find the warranty card anymore. Seems like i threw it away....it never really mattered to me tho since there is no gen warranty after all ;)
Thank you for the answer.
My watch has arrived in the meantime. Very beautiful watch. And there were no numbers on my card either. I just wanted to know because you can also buy them. Since I'm thinking about putting together a complete FAKE set... just for me. :cool:
But I don't know yet if I will spend more money on FAKE accessories. ;)

OK, fair enough. It's for you...

But why? What's the thrill about that? 😂

Are there also people who want a fake receipt with their fake Nike sneakers (again, sincere curiosity)?

To me, it just seems so incredibly pointless to have a fake document for a fake item. 😆

PS: By the way, fake boxes I can somewhat understand. You enjoy the aesthetics of a nice high-end box. Unfortunately most rep boxes are crap. But some people get gen boxes for their reps which are beautiful to look at. But I just don't see the enjoyment of having matching numbers on your fake papers... 😄

I have seen rep handbags on Insta that come with fake boxes and fake receipts for the purchase. Not sure why you'd need that unless you were going to carry it with you in the bag and whip it out if anyone calls fake.

Now I also understand your repeated friendly enquiries: :geek:

There were several forums beforehand, but in 2006 RWI was founded on several principles. Below they are in order of importance:

No. 1 Identify/prevent fraudsters selling replicas as real (on eBay or in general forums).

No. 2 Train an army (self-training). people) with the knowledge found on RWI to identify the above scams.


Very good your effort!!! (y)

But hopefully I can put your mind at ease. ✊
The beautiful Sub I was able to acquire, with the help of this forum, has been a dream of mine for a long time. I already have several replicas of this model, but now I have a really good one. That's why I've been thinking about making a complete set with this clock for my home. And just for me!!!! Because I like this model very much. :love:

And whether you understand that or not, I can't answer that question for you either. Sorry

But I hope you understand me a little better now why I might want a complete set. 🤝
