Hi,
I am totally new to replica watches and fascinated by the numerous fotos on this website of well done replica time pieces. I am lucky to own several genuine Rolex and IWC watches and would like to see and evaluate personally how good nowadays replica are. So I might try to purchase some pieces. However I am not sure where. Outside the EU might be tricky because German customs are very, very picky. Maybe some other EU members can give me some good advice on this one.

Hello and WELCOME to RWI from the official reception desk team!

You are receiving this reply either because you posted in the "New members say hi" section or because I spotted one of your first posts elsewhere. In the latter case, please consider going to the aforementioned section and introduce yourself.

If you haven't already, please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members section (all subsections) as they contain information for newbies and most importantly our forum rules! In particular, please take note of our sales rules, because as a brand new member, you will be —under any circumstances— NOT yet eligible to sell.

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


Also, this please take a look at this sticky thread:


If you need further help, please feel free to contact me or @Feefo!

We're always happy to help, but please allow some time for PM responses as we have lifes outside of RWI!

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

If you look at vsf submariners it will be very hard to spot the difference unless you got very well trained eyes.
Most TDs ship from China, they know their business and custom seizure is a quite seldom occurrence. You can pick one that offers refund in that case (read their terms and conditions). Sead (supermirrors) has stock in Italy, check out his section here on RWI.

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.

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.

Thanks for the warm welcome and these essential information!
I have not found a discussion about the reliability of the replica movements that are used. Is there a thread that I did not see?

In the tech section all the movements are described and dissected.
In the rolex section there's a sticky specifically dedicated to movements present in Rolex reps.
