Thank you all for your input. I'm pretty patient and will wait for another few weeks. I'm more concerned why Ryan would not reply to my inquiries.

Not Received Watch After 30+ Days
- Thread starter louisianawatchbuyer
- Start date
Back in the days you did not receive QC or tracking, but the watch within 3 months.

my guess is: he is dealing with many messages daily. which means he has to prioritise, meaning if he has posted a watch there is little point spending time 'managing customer expectations' because he may not have any more info than the tracking shows, so to respond is literally a waste of time.
Which leads to this point: shipping from outside of your countries customs area has risks and times associated with that fact. Which is why, after reading many posts on this website before ordering my first watch, led me to conclude that buying from a seller that has the watch in hand in my country is my preferred option. costs maybe 10% more but for me, worth it.

I received another tracking from Ryan - which the 3rd tracking number I have had since I ordered. It appears Ryan is sending out a 3rd watch, but I have no clue which watch or if the same as in ordered as there have been no QC since the 1st watch. Idk - I give up.

I havent purchased yet, about as fresh as it gets on RWI, and I already know the following:
-RWI helpdesk as well as any TD is NOT Amazon. The US is a bit spoiled for experience becauase of Amazon I think.
-Upon purchasing I will be considering alternative shipping methods/tactics, present state of affairs in the world that may effect EVERYTHING, stock issues, order backlog, and of course,... humans sometimes "humaning" ( mistakes happen).
-I am engaging in business that has certain "unique complications" and as such, patience, practicality, and politeness is always best.
I know it is difficult when there is doubt, and doubt is never more present when it is the first purchase, with a seller that you do not (YET) know you can trust, in a business that has less "promise reinforcement" measures. Anything other than Amazon with feel "risky" these days but for every buyer posting about a "failed buying experience", (many not doing the proper research before hand) - There are , at least, Tenfold successful purchases.
Do the work,.....Act right,..... Do not Chargeback.
BTW, I dont know for sure but I can assume the chargebacks:
-Screw the TD HARD
-Obliterate you reputation, as someone that can be relied on to ensure the payment remains available DURING THE COMPLETE FULFILMENT PROCESS.
-Tells all future TDs or possible M2M sellers that if you, "Don't feel like the transaction is happening fast enough" will pull the rug out- Not a good look.
Like I said - I haven't even bought Rep 1, and for that reason I am researching all I can to have the best results. PLEASE DO THE SAME,... no one likes sad stories and everyone hates dumb stories. (entertainment aside of course.)

Listen,.. I know you are "scared", but what is the point of posting "I give up"? what are you hoping that post will do for you?
You don't know anything yet. you may receive the watch and it is gorgeous,... then all of this is just scared screams into the dark. it may take a month it may take a day,.. the idea that Ryan is apparently sending a THIRD watch, shows his integrity.
I'll tell you this,... when it does come, I think, at least, maybe,... an update? Ryan and all who have have read would appreciate it. Imagine if people feel the way you do right now are able to hear, from you, that THINGS WORKED OUT IN THE END. Think of the kids.

Well said Nishi, I think the fact that we are dealing with counterfeit goods, that are subject to factory raids, customs seizures and heaven knows what, patience is absolutely essential. I’m ready to wait months for a watch, mainly because I’m after a rare rep and once the order is acknowledged, I’ll sit back, pour a nice whisky, light my pipe and relax and any updates I get will be a bonus!
