Thanks Neil 👍

Never ever google a seller website
Always use the links in the Trusted Dealer section

And when you order check the email and whatsapp number too

If you’re looking for a dealer with UK stock, check out what these have available. They all have quite a few watches in stock in the UK:


As others have mentioned above, don’t use the link you provided.

Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.

Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:


As a new subscriber, you've already been directed to this thread, please read carefully and look through the linked additional threads:


Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:


Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain. Don't hesitate.

Don't be afraid to post noob questions in the new members area. In doubt, use the flame free zone. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the new members area, please reach out to @eBoy or me. Mutual respect is of utmost importance to us. On the other hand, we're grown-ups and are supposed to be able to deal with a bit of irony, don't take it personally, ever, a bit of irony never harmed anyone. If you laugh at jokes, you'll make friends faster.

This forum is a treasure trove of information and benefits from the engagement of all members who take their time to share their knowledge, help each other out and have some fun. We hope that you'll benefit and enjoy this platform as well as contribute positively to it.

If at any point you feel to contribute also on another level, feel free to pm the boss (trailboss99) to become a supporter and get some little perks with the status (editing rights, for example).

Enjoy the forum.

Can't get more simple than a 36mm (or 41mm) OP. It's many people's entry to the gen world, very good reps exist, and it's probably the easiest one to pull off in the real world, if you're not in the income bracket of the Rolex target market (high income professionals, etc). There are a lot of dial options available as well, unlike the traditional Sub, which is very limited in that respect.

Clean and VSF both make a good one, although I believe Clean is considered the better of the two.

In other words, a recent college grad or a guy working at a factory is probably NOT going to convince anyone his solid gold Daytona is real, but a stainless OP is easily affordable to anyone that works hard and is somewhat responsible with money.

A step up from the OP and still within reach of most working folk is a Datejust.

Seriously ? You were told how to find a dealers site, several times.

Don't Google dealer sites, you have a 90% chance of ending up on a scam/mirror/fake website.

Happy New Year.

100% agreed, only use the link from the TD's section on here ;)

Since you are in UK and asked for a Rolex Diver, buy a VSF Submariner black dial from Repsource, you can thank me once you get the watch inside a couple of days :D
