No. My advise is to just stick with the Trusted Dealers here. The vetting has been done for you.

Getting a slightly cheaper price but no watch is not a win. You pay a little more with TDs, but it's for good reason.

Hello and WELCOME from the official RWI reception desk!

You are receiving this introduction because you either posted in the "new members say hi" section or —for the first time(s)— elsewhere. In the latter case, consider introducing yourself in the aforementioned section.

If you haven't already, please make sure to read all relevant sticky threads. They contain important and essential information such as the forum rules! Most importantly the sales rules, because you will NOT yet be eligible / allowed to sell unless you meet certain criteria / are certified first.

A good starting point is this list of resources on RWI:

Please also take another look at this important sticky that you should already have seen after logging on for the first time:

This quick anti-fraud guide is essential if you are about to order from a dealer for the first time:

If you need any further assistance, feel free to contact me or @Feefo!

We will gladly help, but please allow some time for PM responses as we have lifes outside of RWI!

All the dealers buy from the same quality factories. Send a pic or link to a trusted dealer of your choice. You will find out if it is real or fake without losing your money. That is why we have TD's
Thank you more excellent advice

Fair point. Didn't mean to presume. Sorry.
Yes, but were they?... That's the risk. These dodgy sites "have" the best reps in the world.
If you can't get a watch from the pool of TDs here, it can't be got.

When you decide on a watch you can check RWI for a review. Most important factor is the factory that makes the watch. You can always find cheap copies for less than $100 but the are junk. After reading for a month or more you will learn about the best factories making the best Reps.

I have a Rep and Gen of the same watch. The Rep is so good I had to add a label to the caseback so I could tell which was the Rep.

All of the trusted dealers get the same stuff. If you want something different you need to post a picture of it with the specs you want it to have. There’s people here that can oftentimes make the watch the way you want it. It easiest to buy a watch off the rack but there’s people who can taylor make the rep of your dreams. Of course it’s going to cost you more than the common garden variety rep but they are certainly available. There’s lots of good modelers here that will be happy to built you a watch but it does take time. Never send money until you have decided what you want and always do your due diligence on the builder of your watch
