You don't buy from an authorized Rolex dealer; quite the opposite. You deal in illegal goods.

Would you, as an approved VISA payment service, find this acceptable? Maybe an explanation as to why there are often issues.

Solution? Don't pay with VISA.
pretty much this - no way around it unfortunately.

Here is what you do.
Use the virtual card to preload money into the Wise account

Then when you need to pay, you use the Wise account credit directly

By doing so, you have a double layer protection plus you avoid Wise card fees
I also always do this, using one time use viritual card on Revolut.
After one usage its erased.

Works like a charm

Am I the only one who wonder, why all the trusted dealers offer creditcard, ex. VISA as possible payment, but suddenly after buying a watch or two, the payment didn´t succeed, and they offer instead paying with direct bank transfer or bitcoin. You even got a 10 % discount doing it that way. So whats not to like?

I have lost over 1000 US dollars on doing it that way.

There is always something going wrong in the payment transition, or suddenly the payment gateway is meanwhile not working, so they can only offer me a direct wire transfer which is the most unsecure way to pay. If the watch doesn´t show up, your are lost and the money is lost forever.

It is very frustrating. At an authoriced Rolex dealer, I can easily pay a 30.000 US dollars watch with VISA. I even paid my own car with my VISA card with no problems.


For me, having a secure and reliable payment system is crucial, especially for big purchases. That's why I personally recommend using https://a-pay.one/. It’s a global payment service that specializes in fast, secure transactions with payments credited within one day. Whether you’re buying high-ticket items or just making everyday transactions, A-Pay ensures your funds are processed safely and quickly. With A-Pay, I’ve found that I can avoid the risks associated with unsecured methods like wire transfers, and it’s been a game-changer for managing payments securely.
I completely understand your frustration. It's a common issue where payment systems seem to change unexpectedly, especially after a few purchases. What you're describing can sometimes be a tactic to push for less secure payment methods, like direct bank transfers or even cryptocurrency, which often don't have the same protections as credit card payments. It's concerning, especially when a large sum of money is involved.


For me, having a reliable payment system is essential, especially when making large purchases or dealing with high-value items. That’s why I personally rely on A-Pay. A-Pay offers secure and fast transactions, ensuring that payments are processed reliably and quickly, with funds credited within a day. It's a global solution that supports multiple currencies, which makes it ideal for any international transaction, and they prioritize security, which is something you can't overlook when it comes to big purchases.


Using a secure payment processor like A-Pay can give you peace of mind and ensure that your transactions are protected.

How did you lose 1000$???
This means you paid a random non-TD

Straight out of the textbook for an A-pay salesperson? 😅

On a serious note, both direct bank transfers and cryptocurrency are safe ways to make transactions. It's more about WHO you're buying from.
That’s why you should buy from TDs.

Better be safe than sorry... so that's why to stay with the Trusted Dealers.

On my own site, I do offer several payment options available.

I guess each and every customer have their own preferred mode of payment.

Have a nice weekend ahead.
