Hello everyone,
As a new member of the community, I've spent some time familiarizing myself with the world of replica watches and RWI. In this short time, I've learned a lot, and I’d like to share some thoughts that might help fellow newcomers as they navigate through this journey.
It's natural to feel uncertain and nervous as a first-time buyer, and you may have certain questions or reservations. To ease these feelings, I encourage you to explore the plethora of resources which are available on this forum - especially the stickies. If you haven’t already, I recommend you read the introductory You Are Welcome post, which covers some preliminary topics in detail.
Soon, you might be familiar with the world of rep watches and learn how to buy that sweet replove that you've been eyeing for. Once you feel ready to make your purchase, it’s crucial to keep in mind the importance of patience. The trusted dealers (TDs) on this forum are located worldwide, which can lead to varying response times. Communication might involve a bit of back and forth and can take some time, so it’s vital to remain patient throughout the process. Just because the communication between you and TD slows down, it doesn’t mean that your ship is going to sink. After placing your order, you will receive QC pictures, your watch will be shipped, and eventually, it will arrive in your hands. Whether this takes days, weeks, or occasionally even longer, being patient through this process is going to be the key.
Remember, unforseen situations can occur at any moment, leading to delays that even TD's may not have direct control over. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t reach out to your TD if you are have serious problems or concerns. Feel free to communicate through any of the different channels that are made available, allowing them ample time to respond. Research the expected timelines and behaviors within the community, and if necessary, consult with a trusted member of the forum, before eventually reaching out for assistance via helpdesk.
At the end, know that you are more likely to end up with the product in your hands rather than not because of any intentional malice.
Throughout your buying journey, uncertainties may arise, and as discussed above - patience will serve you well. In moments of frustration, acting impulsively can lead to regret and damage your reputation; thus affecting your honor within this community. For instance, I recently saw a post where a user wished harm upon a TD and their family—an extreme and unjust reaction. Such behavior not only harms your honor but can also result in getting banned from the community.
Remember, a TD stands to lose significantly by scamming their customers. Their business depends on maintaining a good reputation, which is why they are also going to be invested in providing you the service they have promised. Cheating or being unfair towards you, comes at a greater risk to them - one which they likely do not wish to bring upon themselves.
If you have always been mindful and respectful of the person on the other side of the screen, you are more than likely to gain their respect and build yourself some credibility. If things ever go south, it is things like respect and honor that will speak volumes on your behalf, and help in reaching a quick and satisfactory resolution.
When engaging in transactions, be aware of all the risks and uncertainties involved. Conduct your due diligence and trust that, in most cases, your dealings with a TD will go perfectly smoothly. If issues arise, there are appropriate measures to address them effectively.
Lastly, here are some guiding principles to keep in mind for the forum (and perhaps in life):
Wishing you all a successful and safe journey in the world of watch buying!

- Be patient and handle situations calmly, avoiding emotional reactions.

- Practice kindness toward everyone—admins, mods, newcomers, and TDs alike. You never know what challenges others may be facing, and your kindness could make a difference.
Wishing you all a successful and safe journey in the world of watch buying!
