Hi, I’ve been reading this forum for a while. And I don’t understand all yet but I’m learning.

The Spanish forums that I know don’t allow to talk about replicas and I find it unfair, because I love all watches, including this ones.

I have 2 shitters and I want to buy a good Sea Dweller not with DG2813 but I’m afraid of customs and don’t know which dealer to choose. Any recommendation?. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.

Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:


As a new subscriber, you've already been directed to this thread, please read carefully and look through the linked additional threads:


Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:


Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain. Don't hesitate.

Don't be afraid to post noob questions in the new members area. In doubt, use the flame free zone. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the new members area, please reach out to @eBoy or me. Mutual respect is of utmost importance to us. On the other hand, we're grown-ups and are supposed to be able to deal with a bit of irony, don't take it personally, ever, a bit of irony never harmed anyone. If you laugh at jokes, you'll make friends faster.

This forum is a treasure trove of information and benefits from the engagement of all members who take their time to share their knowledge, help each other out and have some fun. We hope that you'll benefit and enjoy this platform as well as contribute positively to it.

If at any point you feel to contribute also on another level, feel free to pm the boss (trailboss99) to become a supporter and get some little perks with the status (editing rights, for example).

Enjoy the forum.

Welcome 👋
I’m afraid of customs and don’t know which dealer to choose
If you're worried about customs, you can mitigate the risk by choosing one of the TDs that have stock in the EU (assuming you are in the EU yourself). But to be honest with you, I live in a country with a fairly strict customs system myself and I've never had any issues. The TDs know what they're doing. But of course, and this applies in any case, never spend more than you can afford to lose.

Como español y residente en España, tema aduanas de momento no hay problema.

He recibido envíos desde HK, Indonesia, China, Vietnam… eso sí, hay que pagar un importe entre 9 y 20€, a no ser que uses un TD del foro que usan envío triangulado (pasando por Holanda).

Así que si esa es tu preocupación de momento tranquilo, teniendo en cuenta que nunca se está exento de riesgo en cualquier envío

Welcome on board! Don't worry too much about customs. Ordered plenty of replicas to Spain and haven't had a watch seized so far.

Hola y gracias por la respuesta. Aún así si el valor es de 400 euros por ejemplo, ¿sí que habría que pagar bastante por aduanas por la importación no?. No sé cómo lo gestionan del todo.

Si usas un TD (TRUSTED Dealer del foro) no vas a pagar aduana (siempre que envíen desde China) usan un envío triangulado y pasa por Holanda, van a declarar por supuesto un valor bajo del producto (dirán que es una case watch o spare parts)… esta gente son profesionales en este negocio, por algo tienen el calificativo de TD… otra cosa sería comprar a un particular.

En definitiva, si quieres poco riesgo, usa un TD DEL FORO y olvídate de dolores de cabeza. Yo he comprado varios relojes a Marvellous Réplica, SEAD.. y ningún problema ni costes aduaneros


If you use a TD (TRUSTED Dealer of the forum) you will not pay customs (as long as they ship from China) they use a triangulated shipment and go through Netherlands, they will of course declare a low value of the product (they will say it is a case watch or spare parts)... these people are professionals in this business, that's why they have the TD qualification... another thing would be to buy from a private individual.

In short, if you want low risk, use a FORUM TRUSTED DEALER and forget about headaches. I have bought several watches from TD like Marvellous Rep, SEAD - SUPERMIRRORS ... and no problems or customs costs.

Yo con Sead he tratado algo y no he tenido una muy buena experiencia. Gracias por la información, desconocía.
