hi there
i shared already all of this on reddit on the RepTime Group
and found out many people have issues with this TD
and also they have asked me to share the details here as if so many people have issues with him maybe he isnt such Trusted Dealer

here is a link to the original reddit post

in short in bullet points as you could read the full story in the reddit post

- these TD are charging twice as much for watches they sell and you expect them to give you really premium servive and take responsibilities in return, especialy in such profit mergins of nearly 100% of the watches.

- i ordered from steve in TheOneWatch
a few watches.

- i waited 2 months for QC its fine it happnes they are in demand (even though others got in 1-2 weeks qc already)

- i got in return 2 tracking numbers that cannot be tracked.

-i waited a few weeks still cannot be tracked

- i messaged steve whats going on he said its not in hies hands its the shipping company he dont know when it will ship
and reason i cannot track it is becaouse it didnt board an airplane yet
he doesnt know if 1-2-3-5 or more months it will ship and its not hies fault just to wait.

- as i said
you pay double the watch price for a TrustedDealer to get a service of something goes wrong.
everyone can be loved when all is perfact its when things go bad when real problems happen.

-now im stuck without a LOT of money i sent him
with him not knowing not caring and cannot give me any indication to when even i could see the tracking number he gave me in system

- obviosly steve didnt wanted to give me a refund and say its not hies fault its the shipping compamy

and i dont know
should i open paypal dispute ?
should i not ?
what do you think ?


btw.
i am NOT the only one
many many people posted on reddit that they have similar expiriences.
and ask i will post it in here
as he is part of the TD in this website

Bro, you know this is illegal business right? This is not Amazon, expectations need to be adjusted accordingly.
You are not paying double the price for "great" service, you are paying double the price because this is not a "normal" trade.

But hope it works out for you! I have only had good experiences with Steve myself.

Firstly, do NOT open a PayPal dispute. Steve has fulfilled his job by selecting and shipping you your watches.

Have you attempted to contact the shipping company directly to inquire about the details of your orders? I can understand that you are excited to receive your order but some patience is needed with regards to international shipping. Often the tracking info is not regularly updated. Steve cannot begin to answer your shipping questions because he does not work for the shipping companies.

I am not a customer of Steve however, I have been patiently waiting nearly five months for QC from another TD. It happens. I would recommend contacting the shipping companies and engaging with them since they will be able to answer your questions.

You subscribed to rwi just to bash a TD?
From what you write it looks like you're not very well acquainted with how this all works, some reading before you put your order may have put your expectations in the right place.
Your timeline is very unclear, except for "I waited 2 months for QC" you don't elaborate a whole lot, so it's impossible to make a judgement on that. Nor is it right to generalize saying that "others get theirs in 1-2 weeks". If you're lucky you can get QC the next day, if less lucky in 6 months. Happens, most members here are aware and can live with it. You're obviously free to take your money to a non-TD who doesn't charge "twice as much".

A side note FYI, should you entertain the idea of having a dispute with the TD RWI will not support you since you were not a member at the time of your purchase.

That said
Welcome to RWI!

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.

Twice the price compared to what exactly?

Everything you’re describing (apart from the bizarre assertion above, which makes no sense whatsoever) is just the standard TD experience. It sounds like you’re choosing the wrong way to buy your watches. Try Aliexpress or Amazon instead.

I am also perplexed as to why Reddit encourages its users to join RWI to air their grievances. I'm not bashing the OP but legitimately curious due to an influx of similar posts. Does Reddit also advocate for chargebacks? This would be detrimental to our hobby if so.

It's always nice to have someone join RWI 50 minutes ago, their first post is to complain about a TD here and thank you Reddit ;).
Did you order the watches from the correct website https://theonewatches.io/

You didn't have to use Steve to purchase your watches as there are many different dealers out there to buy from. If you don't like the prices the TD's charge then why buy from them and then have the need to rant about it now on three different forums. You knew the price before sending any money to Steve.

Tracking numbers usually don't work until they hit the hands of the postal service in your country and even then sometimes the package will show up at your door with tracking not showing movement. Steve had the watches packed, shipped with tracking and after that it's out of his hands. If the package shows it was seized then it will be something you and him will have to deal with but until that time you will have to be patient with the shipping service. And why would Steve give you a refund?.

Have a look at our brig section while you are here and be very aware of this.


I hope it all works out with Steve. It is a pity you were not a member before you bought the watch as we would have helped. However there is nothing in this that warrants alarm bells with the TD. Unfortunately in this game you need a lot of patience. I have bought probably over 400 watches since joining here from TDs and M2M. Most transactions go smoothly but I have had my fair share of headaches.

Honestly? Go find a non TD and order from them. Do your own research. Have fun! Enjoy the scams, and finding your own leads!

Is this your first time buying from China? That's how tracking number from China works. It doesn't fucking show up until it reaches your country.

Or are you saying that Steve didn'r send you a tracking number at all?

You're gonna look like a idiot when it hits your country and you recieve a package which it can be anywhere from 10 days to 2 month (you're probably blame Steve because he can't make boats go faster).

Honestly I'm sick of Reddit, the only thing it seems to bring to RWI is people complaining. It just funnels trash quality members and posts and high schoolers who cry when their illegal watch experience isn't like Amazon or any legal industry?

If you "knew" that TOW was "bad" why did you order?

If you did not "know", and found out about RWI and the TD system AFTER you bought, what does RWI have to do with your own decisions?

Why did you buy with TOW in the first place?

Care to provide some direct answers?

Oh and BTW just to dispel that misinformation shite for the umpteenth time. RWI does not take payments from TDs. This is a rumor older than Reddit that has spread because RWI was and still remains the biggest and best place for information on Replica watches. There are plenty of threads on this topic if people bother to look.

That would require doing their own research which is forbidden in Reddit. 🤣
