Hello all,
I hope everyone is well. I have never bought a replica watch in my life, neither in person or online. Reading through this community, I have seen good reviews about Andiot watches. However, I am still scheptical of purchasing a watch from them as the replica watch world is full of scammers. I was wondering if you people from the community could vet for Andiot watches and ensure that, if I send the money through revolut to them, I will actually receive the product and not get scammed for my money. In addition, if any of you can also vet for the quality of the reps as they are priced well below other 'sellers' of replica watches. Thank you to all who take the time to answer and help me out! :)

The fact that Andiot is listed here as a TD is guarantee in itself

Also, read the reviews
By and large, he seems to be reliable

Be careful to only use the link from his listed contact information to be sure you are dealing with the true Andiot

I reall appreciate your help, I will follow through with my purchase and keep you guys updated. In any case, this is the link on the RWI Community (https://andiotwatches.com/); is it correct? Thank you

Very much so. Just make sure you read all his instructions regarding payments and such when you go to order.

Also, read as much as possible (i.e. the sticky threads on his TD and the newbie forums). It's not a quick process right now and can take a while to get your watch. Ask me how I know...

You purchased from them and still have not received your watch?

What do you mean by that? Sorry I really am new to this world and is the first time visiting this website as well.
You should at least read the sticky topics in the new members area


Nobody can tell you that the watches are generally good. Every factory has its flaws, so you have to decide where your personal preferences are. Some movements are more susceptible than others, some movements should be avoided in general.

A generalised answer is difficult even for a single watch model, you are asking about the entire range.

This is a good starting point for reading:


You mentioned that you like AP. There is an AP sub forum that will have the info you require to make an informed decision... which is assume is "who makes the best x,y,z reference". Although you should note that no rep is perfect.


Hope this helps.

No, I have mine. It's amazing. It just took a while, and through no fault of theirs. At the time, one factory had been raided and was being very careful with shipments to TDs.

Buying replica watch isn't like Amazon instant delivery. Waiting is part of the process.

I waited total of 7 weeks from order to delivery of my Clean 126506.

The RWI culture encourages new (and older) members to read up and absorb knowledge by themselves.

To avoid asking obvious questions that would be answered just by reading the welcome email and the newcomer section sticky posts

It’s alright to ask questions and most members will help out. That said, expecting handholding would quickly lead to flaming 😅

Enjoy the forum and I hope you like your watch(es)

I am also a new user and I just ordered my first watch from Elliot.
Since this was my first order I asked Elliot a lot of question regarding the process and payment coz I did not want to mess things up.
I used Revolut for payment and there are some steps you should follow to make sure that he gets his money quickly!
Just ask him if you are unsure and he will guide you through the process.
Use WhatsApp for communication.

Once he received my payment he sourced my watch within 1-2 days for so to send me QC. (If you are unfamiliar with this term, you should find a lot of info on this forum)
When I accepted the QC he shipped the watch and after 1-2 days I got the tracking number.8 Days later I received the watch and it is now on my wrist.
I am very happy with the whole ordering process and also the communication with Elliot.
I never got a feeling that this was a scam.

For me, the quality of this VSF Sumbariner 126610 is perfect but I am not a experienced watch user so..
You can find more info about my order in my thread: First order from Elliot (Submariner 126610LV VSF3235)

I can vote for Elliot.

regards
