I've just placed an order for

IWC0503 - Pilot Chrono IW389101 Top Gun CER/LE Black AZF A7750
$388+$40-5%

GeekTime had quicker responses and was much easier to deal with than TDs

I'll update when I get QC

Just wanted to write a quick review of Eric from Geektime after having bought 10+ watches from him over the past 3 years or so.
  1. Product availability - 10/10. He has access to virtually all T1 reps that exist on the market, even if they are not listed on his website he can source them for you. Same goes for parts.
  2. Communication - 10/10 always via whatsapp always very responsive.
  3. Payment options - 10/10 - always smooth.
  4. QC - Always good quality images and videos, never any problems with RL. Eric can take some additional QC pictures for you if you request them.
  5. Shipping - Very quick, always a tracking number provided, never had any customs issues.

Honestly - I used to buy via puretime before, but the transaction experience with Eric is just so much better and so much more personal (he can even give you recommendations), rather than the rotating roaster of customer care people at other dealers.

IMO Eric should be put on a TD list or at least at the 'probationary TD' list should one exist.
I just made my first order with Geektime. I have only red good things so far.

I am new, so I am sure there will be plenty of people who automatically assume I am a scammer or an idiot, or both. I may be an idiot but I am not a scammer. I just wanted to add my two cents that I appreciate reading about people's experience with non-TD's. I recently made my first purchase and did so after reaching out to five different TD's. I decided to go with Lucy based simply on the fact that she responded quickly and was able to source what I wanted. I have read good things about geektime on reddit. It seems to be that the RWI folk look down on the reddit folk for some reason, but as a new person I am happy to look at both sources to try and improve my understanding.

I do. If you're only crusading for TDs, how about you go to that section of the forum and allow people to share their experiences of non-TDs which is what this part of the forum is for?
What a super welcoming forum :rolleyes:
The issue is , New people come here, order from non td or shill websites and get scammed, or don’t get what they ordered. They could have spent a whole 20 min reading here and avoided it. As far as the non td section - we have good non td- that are td on other sites- Reddit , rwg like Josh at perfect clones or Eric at geektime- it’s just here with a td if there’s an issue, we can fix it. But if your on Reddit or rwg they would be able to address the issue

Lucy is great- she has got me 2 watches that were near impossible to source- she’s like a 1 man operation no pun and takes a while - sometimes a few months. I don’t recommend her to anyone new

Idk if this is the right place to share my experience. Idk if the guy is Eric, Lucy or whatever, I texted with somebody on their whatsapp. They claim to have shipped 2 watches to Bulgaria on 22 april, promised to send a tracking number but never did. After asking several times Geektime sends me a screenshot from supposed shipping company stating that watches arrived in Germany on 4 may*. Today is 3 june and there has been no trace of any watches whatsoever. The guy from Geektime just keeps saying that when he receives feedback from shipping company he would provide information but never does.

* From Germany to Bulgaria it takes like 1-2 days.

P.S. The funniest point is that before taking your money they reply momentarily as if they exploit a bot of some sort. However once they take the money it takes them days to send back a simple meaningless sentence.
