I was hesitant but was skewed to try a little after reading many positive reviews. There are some red flags after reviewing back.

1) 2 - 3 weeks shipping via Registered Mail
2) QC pics sent right after purchase when I did ask for stock photos before hand.
​​​​​
Alot of their reviews seems to feature Tag watches.

Dont buy from them. They started selling small things like household shit to garner reviews. Then they started selling watches.

Anyways, they are on multiple platforms, IG , Lazada, Shopee and Carousell and with multiple account.

Lazada : nickalice

Shopee : https://shopee.sg/easttimewatch?smtt=0.0.9

Carousell :
https://sg.carousell.com/p/252448839
https://carousell.com/singapore_stuff
https://carousell.com/swissengine_sg

Most of their listing feature gen photos.

Hope this clears it up.

I checked Omegas posted on their IG - all are reps
This company is a fucking scammer.

I have purchased quite a number of reps many years back. None of that ran clone movements survived a few years or just aged too fast due to lower quality parts.

I still have a Vaccum and Davidsen Panerai homage that lasted more than 10 years and still runs great. After which I stayed away from reps for abit. Who would have though Id be back here 12 years later to verify a purchase ????.

Guess I'll do some good research before diving into some quality reps. Thumbs up guys, ????????

Thanks for posting the link up. Your good name was never in question and violated no rule. It is nice when a member helps others. I just hate that members assume the worse when someone goes offline after being helped. Thanks again, you may have saved others out there a lot of headaches. Start a WTB thread, I have had some great experiences with our members.

A lot of guys here seem to get satisfaction and joy by getting a watch in the hands of someone who really wants a certain timepiece. Mutually shared happiness makes RWI go round. And inmate watching at the brig.

No offense taken guys :D​​​​​​. All in good sharing. Just wanted to make sure my credit is fully refunded. It would have sucked to have proceeded with the order and received a rep. Thanks for all the clarifications and help :happy:

Regardless of rep or gen watches in the pics why would anyone think you can get a gen Pelagos for $2000!! That alone should send you in the opposite direction!
