No; they are not under the TD list and are not a trusted dealer.

He's a TD in other replica forums, people may say whatever they want but he'll still get the job done :laugh:
Considering you can get any of their watches from a TD here, I'd definitely avoid them. Plus they seem to have higher prices anyway..
That is true....plus they send out a ton of e-mails this time of year, sheesh I get one every day and I haven't even ordered from them since the days of old.
First, we all know that not all watches can be sourced at a given time by every dealer, TD or not. Often dealers get a period (or in some cases long term) exclusive rights to a watch, usually because they have foot the bill, instead of the maker, for the gen that gets torn apart for the rep to be made. While you see this quite often only for a period of time some things go much longer term like some of the vintage Rolex models that the Cartel has a good example is the 6263 et al Daytona models.
I have ordered from 9 dealers over the years and used Andrew and Josh while and after they were TDs here and always had excellent service from them. One reason I tend to buy from Angus and the Cartel, even when the prices are a little higher, is they all three maintain excellent websites that have most everything that is available (though I wish they would clear out the old unavailable stuff). I see what they do as a value added service for the community and will pay a little extra for their work. Angus (Puretime) has been my go to for 2 years now but every once in a while I go back to Andrew because he has something others can't source.

Let me tell you a small story
This story has started in March 2015 when I wanted to place order for SB 116610 LV. When I've got some troubles with payment transaction I decided to use local site named :www.puretime.ru which is not pretend to be the dealer of puretime-watch.
Usually puretime is sending QC pictures before sending any watches _ I think it is really comfortable option to value timepieces before getting. And on that pictures I didn't find any visual defects.
When I agreed to get that shown Submariner I've got message from trade agent (puretime.ru)

WHen I've got my payed Submariner I found that the clasp has the defect. After that I tried to solve this problem directly with puretime-watch., and sent thatm letter:
Hello there!
Don't be confused as I didn't say that the attached pictures are their. I said that I bought YOUR watch from our local Russian dealer that is closely working with you.
Dealer doesn't conceal that works with you. You can visit their site www.pure-time.ru I was afraid that ordered watch wouldn't be V5 series. That's why I sent to you inquiry in order to get confirmation of V5 series.
Thank you very much for a really good watch. At the beginning I wanted to buy Rollie directly from you but I had some problems with my credit card - I couldn't finish payment procedure as a consequence my Order ID: 72989 was canceled. That's why I decided to buy watch through pointed above site.
I've read a lot about you on RWI and decided to buy from your site. BUT, I found one defect on bracelet - clasp doesn't close to end. There
is only one spring-loaded holder (see attached pic.) instead of two (from both sides). Although I've bought your watch through our local site I think you could fix this problem. What do you think if you send me a piece of clasp instead of damaged?
Thank you in advnance for a quick answer.
