You run a much higher risk of customs issues. One or two is optimal and I myself stick to one.
That is interesting. Do you think it would be better if you bought one piece from multiple different TD's at once so they aren't shipped together? Or is it best to only have one international package on its way to you at a time. Also, I'm sure this varies by country, I am interested in USA but if anyone knows about other countries I'd be interested to know that as well.

The number one requirement in the rep game is patience. The less you rush into anything in this game the less disappointed you will be.

Customs is strict here and I have read a number of articles stating that US customs are clamping down on counterfeit watches. People in the US will probably know better. I doubt it is as hard as Europe to get watches from China.

Update: i ordered from Dealer Clocks 10/10/24 and i already got my QC pics and asked to get the watch shipped asap. I am very excited :)
I understand the number one requirement in the rep game is patience but i am not in a hurry for anything. My question was more geared towards being efficient and ordering a few watches at a time. Once i receive my watch and am happy with it then my next order will be for 2-3 watches at a time and see how that goes.

I mean up to you but if you order 2+ watches it's better to split the otder into mutiple packages. Pay the extra 30 dollars to minimize your risk.
