I bought a blue submariner and received it the other day after less than a week. I use PayPal to pay for it right through the website and I received the watch in very good condition everything seems to be fine but it's strange because nowhere can I find any information about this website but I took a chance and it seems to be good. I just ordered two more watches as well. Does anybody know about this website and why isn't it mentioned as it seems to be reliable and accepts PayPal right through the website.

Never heard of that site and we here at RWI have the best Trusted Dealers on the world wide web.

How about you post some pics of your blue Sub and let us know the factory and what movement is has. It would also like to know how much you paid. Can't wait to see the pics.

Yes I just registered. Somebody has to register at some point right? I don't know how that makes me suspicious. I just purchased a watch from them like I said and I wanted to know if anyone else heard of them what's the harm in that question? Not looking to sell anything ....

I have no way of taking the back cover off, but they claim it's a Japanese movement although I have no idea if that's true. I paid $208 for the watch. I'd be happy to take some more pictures though. I was having a little trouble trying to figure out how to post them. A lot of the TDs that I've dealt with want you to use friends and family for PayPal, and I don't feel confident using it because you have no recourse. That's why I went with this particular website which took the PayPal through the site.

As far as a review, the clasp isn't as good as I was hoping it would be in terms of the adjustability. It's not exactly like an original. But otherwise it's keeping good time The needle sweeps and doesn't tick, and it looks pretty darn good. I mean nobody's going to be able to tell the difference from a distance, lol. I'm new to this game and I don't mean to say anything that's out of line. But I've caught the watch itch, and I'd like to buy many more . After reading about it I don't know if it's necessary for me to get the Swiss movements and pay seven or $800 for that. I really just joined this forum to participate and get info.. as I will be receiving and buying many more watches in the future, I'd be happy to post as many pictures as people would like, and review the watches. I will need to buy a special tool to remove the cover in the back as I can't figure out how to get it off It's on there pretty tight.

You are doing the right thing
It’s good that you bought and got that watch.

It’s a shitter and you overpaid. Just take that as school fees

Now buy a VSF or a Clean from one of the TDs here and see the difference for yourself

🤗 welcome and happy new year

You are new and bought a low tier rep and 90% of people do it but now you have found RWI and the world of rep watches has opened up to you. The sites that say their rep watches have Swiss movements are scam sites and would have you pay the $800 and give you the exact same watch you already have or no watch at all.

Let me ask you something, by looking at the pictures I posted how can you tell that I bought a shitter that's worth $30? I really don't understand how you could possibly tell from the pictures. I've compared really cheap ones in pictures to the genuine and from the pictures alone it's hard to tell the difference.

Thank you That's the first polite reply that I've gotten. They never said it was a Swiss movement but they do mention Swiss caliber. When I ask them what movement it is they said Japanese Seiko.

Boy you guys are rough. So that's what I did, I bought a shitter?

Richard,
Please don’t take the random jokes seriously.
RWI has a bit of a gym-bro culture…but noone is nasty on purpose (or they get kicked quick)

Here are a few things about this watch
Color is off
Brushing is off
Print on dial is horrible
endlinks connections have huge gaps
Hands low quality
Date wheel is wrong
Crown on clasp is wrong

Probably also a cheap 2813 movement inside

Great. I already ordered two more and paid for them through PayPal. I suppose I can cancel them cuz I doubt they've shipped yet.
