Hi all,

I am new here and was just wondering if at all anyone could recommend a TD that works regularly with US costomers.
Thank You all in advance. BTW!!! Initially I would like to start with/purchase a 126610LN Rolex Submariner 41mm (Preferably VSF or CF from what I've seen on here or other recommendations). Also would consider purchasing from other memenbers willing to ship within the Us.

John

Once you've picked the watch, and the factory/version, the last step is the TD.

Broadly speaking they can all access the same factories, so it's your decision to make based on their pricing, terms and conditions, payment methods, shipping costs, reviews etc.

Use only their website & contact details from their forum page - no where else.

Many many members are based in the US and use a variety of TDs, so the choice is yours.

As for US based, I recall it discussed here:


As for M2M, they pop up now and again, but via that model, you have got to be both lucky and quick:)


Welcome aboard & enjoy exploring the forum

I picked a TD from the list on this site and placed an order.

When the watch arrived(Super fast shipping BTW) it was of Very poor quality(Shitter).

I don't want to keep dealing with TD's that have low quality watches.

Can you point me in the direction of TD's on here with only Top notch 1:1 Quality?

I would rather pay more for quality rather than risk a shitter.

The 3 watches I want to start with are a Submariner 126610LN, GMT Master II "Batman"116710LN, Dayona 116520

Best,
John

You've been given a plethora of information. Did you bother reading through it ?

If you got a shitter it's not the TD's fault but rather yours for not having done some research and studied the characteristics of each model and the flaws to look after in QC. I do not have a Sub rep tbh, but from what I've read about clean and VSF most recent offerings, the general opinion of expert members is far away from a definition of "shitter". Unless your expectations are too high in the first place.

Obviously I read through the information provided!!!
I decided I wanted a CF Sub and chose a TD that is located in the US.
We had extensive talks and he claimed he hand picks every watch in person.
With that being said I decided to make the purchase.
I received the QC pics and everything looked great.
Upon delivery it was obvious the watch delivered was NOT the one pictured.

Yeah Clearly my fault!!!
BTW!!! it doesn't cost anything to be helpful rather than condescending!!!

You asked for a CF sub ? I have had many of them in my hand and never seen one that could be called "shitter". As far as being helpful, @P..DR..D pretty much gave you cliff notes to the information needed in order to place an order. Let's see a picture of this "CF Sub" that you claim is a "shitter".

What td? When did you order? When did it arrive? If you got scammed, I'm sorry, that's a shame. If it's an rwi td and you ordered while rwi member, I think rwi can support, provided you put in place all reasonable endeavors to clarify the issue in a civilized way (read: as a last resort). Did you contact the td and ask for explanations?
