Hi everybody, new to the page, but not to the hobby. Taking my time to learn how to surf RWI. Excited to start getting few pieces soon.
So far I was able to source some good watches from Turkey and Thailand while visiting in there.
Always exciting to walk around and found hidden Gems (or the closest to it at a fraction of the price)
Also a fan of watch history with big respect for what have been achieved in the watch industry, saving to invest in couple genuine watches.
Cheers to everybody!

Hello and WELCOME from the official RWI reception desk!

You are receiving this introduction because you either posted in the "new members say hi" section or —for the first time(s)— elsewhere. In the latter case, consider introducing yourself in the aforementioned section.

If you haven't already, please make sure to read all relevant sticky threads. They contain important and essential information such as the forum rules! Most importantly the sales rules, because you will NOT yet be eligible / allowed to sell unless you meet certain criteria / are certified first.

A good starting point is this list of resources on RWI:

Please also take another look at this important sticky that you should already have seen after logging on for the first time:

This quick anti-fraud guide is essential if you are about to order from a dealer for the first time:

If you need any further assistance, feel free to contact me or @Feefo!

We will gladly help, but please allow some time for PM responses as we have lifes outside of RWI!

Fellow Colombian here, have you made some orders already from the TDs here? I would like to know about your experience before making my first purchase!

Hey Andres, how is it going?

I have made 3 orders so far, an i have received 2 of the watches in pristine condition.

I have used Andiot, Intime watches and chazing time.

I will said go with Andiot, best prices and it took a month for the watch to arrive, good communication paid through wise (Omega speed master moonwatch)

Chazing time smooth process, good communication, payment through eBay, but the watch has not arrived after a month and have not move from a place in 14 days, i have contacted the seller but is not responding just yet. (Tudor black bay 58)

Intime stated i was in a remote location (I’m from Monteria) and initially request 50 extra USD for shipping after initial 50 usd paid, he ended up paying the extra fee himself and sent it through FedEx it was the fastest to arrive but i needed to paid taxes upon arriving to Colombia. (Omega sea master 300)

At the end you wont go wrong with any of the trusted dealers.

Make sure you use the links strait from RWI as there are many Scam sites.

Make time to surf the forum to learn common mistakes and common questions that you may have.

Happy haunting!

Thanks so much, I have done a lot of reading the last couple of weeks and I feel like I'm now getting a good understanding of how everything works, I'll keep doing the homework and researching until I'm finally ready to order.
The watch I want to get is also a seamaster 300 (the black one with SS strap) which one did you buy and from what factory? do you recommend it?

Que mas pues!

I have gotten the white dial on black ceramic bezel with the rubber strap from ZF factory, for what I could read is the one that looks the closest to gen, but having a less reliable movement, again check on comparisons to make your mind in which one you like better.
I couldn’t be happier with my purchase 😁😁
