I purchased my first rep about 8 months ago. Long time stalker prior and was abit worried about putting an order in.

One day I decided to do it. Spoke to the TD, after a few emails back and forth the deal was done. Once it was posted I was notified by the seller. Sadly in this case there was an issue. The watch got caught at customs. The seller actually alerted me to this (I was getting worried as hadn’t seen any movement in postage for some time) the TD ordered and supplied me with another watch and not long after BAM it was on my wrist.

Yes it does take abit of extra time but well worth it

I've been wanting to share this post for a while now, and I've finally gotten around to it. I hope this will be helpful for newcomers dealing with anxiety and high expectations. Over the past 6 months, I've ordered 12 watches and I want to share my experience to help calm the nerves I often see on this platform.

I've interacted with 5 Trusted Dealers (TDs), and they have all been great at communication. They send quality control (QC) pictures promptly, and the watches are well-protected during shipping with bubble wrap. I haven't encountered any issues with the TDs. In fact, when a watch wasn't available, they assisted me in selecting a similar one, and on one occasion, even offered it at a discounted price.

I'm sharing this positive experience because I've noticed many posts from newcomers stressing about potential problems or scams. I understand that ordering from overseas in the replica market can be nerve-wracking. That's where this site comes in – it's invaluable. The information provided helps you make informed choices. You can research the best versions of watches and find what suits you. This process is far from stressful.

It's as simple as ordering, waiting, and receiving – just like Amazon, with a bit of extra waiting time.

Although I'm still relatively new and not an expert here, I want to share my experiences to help you feel at ease and not stress while waiting for your watch. I understand it's easier said than done, but I'm living proof that this is a legitimate process, and this site makes it as safe as possible in this market.

The TDs I've used are:

1. Chazing Time
2. The Ones Watches
3. Trusty Time
4. JTime
5. PureTime

The watch quality has been consistently outstanding. They're not perfect, of course, as they're replicas. As a Rolex enthusiast, I've received many compliments on my purchases. Even upon close inspection, people notice the quality and attention to detail. Little do they know that these details are what make the fake watches appear so real.

All in all, this experience has been fantastic, allowing me to enjoy a variety of watches. The key takeaway is that once you've confirmed your purchase, relax and know that your watch will be on your wrist sooner than you think. Driving yourself crazy counting down the days isn't necessary.

Thank you for this 👏

Don't forget to leave feedback, when you get a chance, in the respective TDs review sections, help balance the scales ;)
Depends which watch if it’s available immediately or needs to be prepared, factory processing time and how busy the dealer is… ask a dealer by telling him which watch you would like along with a link or screenshot and ask what the wait time is and what the delivery timescale is to your country.
They will respond to you with a rough timescale.

Some factories don’t assemble their watches daily and some only deliver to the dealer once every week, so which factory is a key factor here.

My suggestion, just pick a watch and get on with it.. and sit patiently and wait in your watch, you can spend a week in here asking questions adding to the time.

Also checking tracking number on a daily basis and asking a dealer questions about delivery while it’s already shipped will not make it go any faster.
Apologies, as this is my first posting here and I am unfamiliar with the process of where exactly to post specific comments. Unfortunately, I made noob mistake Numero Uno of ordering from an online source (Chronolet). In this case, I stumbled upon the RWI site after the transaction had already been processed.

Does anyone have any experience with Chronolet? Based on everything I have read here about concerns and issues, I have had a good experience so far, with 15 QC photos and two videos sent yesterday - after one watch was completed, in this case five days after the order was processed. A photo of my name was in the background reflecting that this was related to the order, as I am also waiting for a second watch to be finalized, before they send both. The photos and video looked excellent.

Would be very grateful if anyone can share any issues or experience with this vendor, or anything I should consider while waiting for the order. Again, crossing fingers things do not get crossed up while waiting for the product. Glad to share my final experience, once received. BH

Never heard of it, but then I don’t look at other dealer sites whatsoever. You only know if they’re trustworthy when something goes wrong

Everyone here tends to stick to the dealers who are trusted dealers on this forum, we’ve all been tried and tested with hundreds of transactions and you get protection and assistance by the forum if anything go wrong or if a dealer isn’t playing ball.

Pricing is mostly very similar among all sites so you should give one of our trusted dealers a try in future

Personally I hold all my stock in UK for next day shipping and publicly display photos before purchase, so it’s a much faster process than any other dealer.
