Great post! Helped a lot! I think the most challenging part is finding the right TD who will guide you on the process and make you feel secured.

Hello. I am not sure if I am in the right area of the forum....but I am looking to buy a Rep IWC Big pilot in GREEN.
I have got some photos from a Rep dealer called https://www.gdwatchclone.ru I am wondering if I can trust them as they are not on the Trusted dealers list.
Has anybody had experience from this dealer?
Thank you for your time.

Buy from them at your own risk. If the deal does not work out right, RWI will NOT help you in sorting it out. Use only RWI Trusted Dealers and read their policies carefully. All the best.

Everything gilrob said!!

You're already in the NewMembersArea and aware of what TDs are, so it actually baffles me why you would consider ordering from anywhere else?

Your money though so....caveat emptor if you ignore all the stickies and advice here hwell:

The best place to start for selecting a TD is to actually head over to RWI dealer of the year. https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...-the-year-2014

I went to this forum and the last post in it was in 2016. It is now 2022. Where now is the best place to go on this site to find a discussion of the best dealers?

Every dealer is different and some members will stay with one dealer, others will move around, it's all subjective.

But they all carry the badge of Trusted Dealer, so you have 25 to choose from

Some members will want quicker delivery because of potential UK stock, others are happy to wait for Chinese deliveries. Some dealers have instant, near chat bot responses, others you'll be waiting for a reply.

It's all about what suits you, as you're the one who'll be handing over your money, so you're the one who has to ultimately research and decide.

Best recommendation is to check out the dealer reviews/feedback and that will give you a sense as to what to expect based on recent interactions (if any)

Members will be both positive and negative in their feedback so you'll quickly see the pro' & con's (if any)
