Hont Trustytime Otheres

[fffastrider]

Hi everyone, I've had replicas, for many years. I normally used to purchase them in person while traveling overseas. If anyone is interested in my five cents - my firm believe is that if one cannot afford a genuine watch then should not buy a replica as he would look silly, on the other hand I think it's just dumb to buy genuine watcht If you can afford one because it's just money thrown away when such amazing quality replicas can be purchased at a fraction of the gen price. I'd love to hear members take on the whole replica thing...

Now to the point I wanted to make. I'm a new member and I find this forum/ website quite remarkable and full of useful information.

I wanted to purchase quite a few watches to update my fleet. So I started researching TDs.

It seems to me that they all do the right thing until something goes haywire. Such as when watches are dead on arrival or other warranty related stuff.

 From what I gather from comments at this stage, customers tend to find out there are no warranties aAndare left to deal with their problems on their own.

Such highly recommended TDs like Hont and Trustytime and others all seem to have a fair share of such complaints against them.

Im looking to aquite 4-6 units at this stage. As I mentioned earlier, I'm used to buying watches in person. So now that I've read all these bad reviews, even though quite numbered in the grand scheme of things I'm not sure if I'm comfortable outlaying $500 -$700 per unit to someone who will not honor their side of the bargain.

May I have some thoughts from seasoned members as to how/weather I should proceed with online purchasing?

With respect and regards.

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

TDs are called trusted for a reason and if something goes wrong you are able to find a viable solution with them. You have to consider that unfortunately it's rare that a happy customer will leave a positive review while an unhappy one will always do so. So the proportion good/bad reviews is not reflective of the reality of things.

I would advise you to not buy/have shipped more than two pieces at a time, to spread shipping risk. There's useful guides in the new members are on how to go about your first purchase and how to choose a TD.

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:

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.

Didn't expect a reply from TD ))) Great to meet you. Will definitely be in touch soon.

Hi, welcome and glad you found us, and yes, we are quite remarkable.

You are right: dealing with counterfeit goods can be risky. I suggest therefore to purchase and ship one item at time. It will prolong the pleasure of receiving and reduce the risk. If anything goes wrong, TDs and the forum will assist to find some agreement.

I appreciate the advice. You guys are legends

 

[Reaps]

My advice. All dealers have different terms and conditions and policies. You need to read terms and conditions. What do they cover? Lost packages? Seizures? What if a watch is damaged on arrival? Leave stickers on or off for returns? Etc.

Do research on models. Does the model you buy have known flaws? What are the issues you need to look for? I.e ZF BB58 is known to have wonky ass markers. Etc.

Grasp their policy, how they deal with things, before you buy. Lots of bad situations stem from assumptions and miscommunications. My prime example is many people peel stickers off the watch and then find out something is wrong. Then they want to return and exchange but then find out TDs only exchange products w stickers on.

Welcome!

I have personally used Hont a few times with no issues. I have also used andiotwatches with no issues if that helps!

Let me know if you have any questions

 

[Stretch242]

I would say maybe buying here from a TD isn't for you. As has been said before this isn't Amaxon. We buy counterfeit watches which in itself is illegal. Watches do get seized and sometimes things go wrong and the last thing we need is another member publicly trashing a TD because somethings gone wrong.
Depending which country your in there are TDs that have watches locally ie America, UK, Italy so internal post maybe an option for you.
Head over to the TD section look around.
That's my opinion for ya
