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

A genuine question: did you read somewhere on Reddit that RWI is the right place to authenticate watches for sale? The amount of such requests lately has spiked incredibly. I don't have the answer to your question, the Pelagos (the normal one) is so well repped that I'd never consider buying in gen.

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.

If you consider buying an FXD, have the seller open the caseback for you. Even a blind monkey can tell an entry-level Miyota from an in-house Tudor movement.
The Miyota is a 3Hz movement, the Tudor a 4Hz movement. If you don't know the difference between those two, don't buy a watch without expert supervision from a private party . . .

The bezel looks gen, on the rep the numbers look like painted. But it's hard to say from these poor photos.

Thanks all, decided to pull away from the deal as the dealer was extremely arrogant.
Rep it is.
