Small Factory?

Hi everyone,

As always apologies in advance for another new member question but any advice/opinions would be appreciated.

I approached my guy who I use from the invaluable TD list on here regarding getting an Omega Seamaster Commander watch. The only one he can source is from what is described as a 'small factory' and therefore not a name such as VSF etc that we all know and have heard of.

Does anyone know if these places are generally any good and to be trusted or should I leave well alone?

Thanks as always in advance.

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!

Hard to predict without more precise info or images.

It could be anything from a low-end shitter over mid-tier to almost high-end, but since we are talking about a Seamaster, it's at least safe to say that if it's not VSF, ORF or ZF, it will definitely not be the highest available rep category, but it could nevertheless still be decent. But, like I said, for a definite statement on the quality of the rep you will receive, a bit more info is needed... Otherwise it's just wild speculation...

It’s a lucky dip

Take your chances and if you dont like it you can resell and you won’t lose much

New members are very impressed with the small factory watches, whereas the more experienced members are a lot more particular

Thanks for your reply. I'm buying from Steve at theonewatches and he's been great to deal with previously so I'm hopeful the watch will prove to be OK 🙏
