Hello everyone,
I would like to share my first experience with a replica watch. Especially the experience with JTime.
On April 29, 2025, I decided to buy a replica watch. I had the following reasons:
- I really like a specific Rolex model
- I was looking for a mid-size model with a Jubilee bracelet
- I don't like Rolex's sales strategy at all (I think I'm not alone here)
- I feel much safer wearing a replica in public
So, I spent a week researching. I quickly realized that buying a replica isn't exactly easy, and we're not talking about items that arrive the next day via Amazon Prime.
The biggest mistake I could have made was googling "buy replica watches." I quickly came across an online shop that advertised direct shipping from the EU/Brussels and processing via DHL cash on delivery. Shipping was supposed to take 3-4 business days. Unfortunately for me, this online shop also had the exact Rolex model I wanted. So I entered my details and placed my order. I didn't have to pay any money yet, so there was no risk involved. I quickly realized this online shop was a complete scam. The order confirmation I received looked so bad that I immediately knew what I was dealing with. Incidentally, to date, no DHL courier has arrived with a package and asked for payment via cash on delivery...
So I started searching again. This time with the help of ChatGPT. I was recommended three things:
- Be patient
- Get plenty of information
- Visit replica forums
That's how I found RWI. A weekend spent researching the RWI forum passed before I decided to give it another try. This time with the trusted dealer JTime. I quickly found the official JTime online shop link in the forum and started looking for the model I wanted. And as expected, I found it. A Rolex Datejust 36mm Wimbledon Dial. The price was also reasonable. BP Factory. I was still a bit unsure and researched experiences with JTime. It quickly became clear to me: Everything's perfect here. AS LONG AS YOU USE THE RIGHT WEBSHOP. Since I used the link from the JTime post on RWI, nothing could really go wrong.
I then placed the order on May 5, 2025, and promptly received an order confirmation from Li. Payment was also simple.
On May 15, 2025, Lana contacted me with the QC. The pictures were fantastic. Everything looked as expected. The accuracy was excellent. I then accepted the QC, and shipping was initiated. The package was shipped via DHL on May 17, 2025, and it arrived on May 27, 2025, without any customs issues or anything similar. The DHL tracking also showed no abnormalities.
After the package arrived, I followed JTime's instructions and first checked to see if the watch was running, as well as for damage and noticeable scratches, without removing the protective film. It quickly became clear: The watch is running and looks good.
I then removed the protective film and set the watch. A few comments on this:
Superluminova is great. It glows a similar blue to Chromalight.
The second hand runs smoothly and evenly. The Jubilee bracelet and Oysterclasp are super comfortable to wear. The date and Cyclops dials are centered and look clean. The engraved crown at 6 o'clock looks clean and well-made.
One thing is a bit strange: Setting the watch feels a bit strange at first, and I had the feeling I might break something. But that's just a feeling... This is still a good and proven Chinese movement.
I can say one thing very clearly. Wearing a replica has only advantages:
It doesn't hurt if I accidentally bump the watch, and I can wear it to any job without any problems. I also feel safe carrying it around. Should it get stolen, fall on the pavement, or whatever, it's not 10,000 euros/USD gone, but "only" 300.
At this point, I would like to once again sincerely thank Li and Lana, who do an excellent job as intermediaries!
And what else I've learned: Buying replica watches is all about patience and research. If you keep these things in mind and follow the instructions of the trusted dealers, you can't go wrong.
