Variety Gifts (IG) - Australian Dealer

[AbeFromansBigSausage]

Hi guys,

I've been after someone "local" in Australia to source stuff from and after seeing a recommendation from this thread, decided to take the plunge. On Saturday, I messaged my request (116500 Panda) and he came back within an hour with a video of a piece (V3 CF). Agreed on a price including express shipping and I left a small deposit to hold it. Made full payment Tuesday and it arrived today and I am very happy.

This is my first rep purchase from a dealer (as opposed to just going to a market in Asia) and I'm happy that it has turned out positively. Will be researching my next pieces soon and will be going back to Variety Gifts again.

So you just trusted a guy in a forum with 7 posts and bought from someone you never heard of before?

Australian seller with long time buying relationship

Guys just wanted to let you all know variety gifts on instagram is a long time trusted seller based in Australia, has a variety of stock all from top end factories and brands. Have bought 6 watches off him now and been very solid, have had an issue out of his control with a watch and has...

Your hands look remarkably like the so-called "dealers", don't they? Funny how you both hold watches on your palm with fingers spread . . .

More quick snaps.

You haven't even had time to remove the plastic off your watch, and you are still taking time out of your busy day to share your purchase. Thanks so much.

Ya know, IP addys can tell a great little story.

Old mate scotjackson has been posting from the most amazing collection of IPs. One moment he's in QLD, the next he's in country NSW and then, boom, Perth. Then he stayed in Perth until about a month ago when his IP in a single day jumped from Perth to Canberra 3500km away and changed from IPV4 to IPV6. Yours were always in Melbourne on a private company network until the day you posted in that thread that Scott Jackson started. At that point, they miraculously also changed to IPV6 after leaping to Canberra to join Scots, same ISP as him as well. For someone in the IT game you're not very good at covering your tracks, are you? I'd just quietly fade away if I were you.

exactly my thoughts, would dare to say they're same hands, almost completely sure!

 

[daytona4me]

Seems legit

They ask me why I drink...

Wow.. so much heat from all of this LOL The stickers were still on because I like to take photos as soon as I open the package (incase of damage). I do the same for anything I buy online. As mentioned in my original post, this is the first time I've bought a rep this way so I'm pretty excited that it has worked out for me. Yes it was a gamble.. I thought that's the point of this forum section - to post reviews of non-trusted sources.

Anyway, I can understand the backlash and how you all want to question this so not sure what else I can say to back up my post. Ohwell.

Here's a glamour photo I took last night once I sized up the bracelet and yes, removed the stickers. I'm very happy with the purchase and I guess that's all that counts.

How else do you hold a watch with the other hand holding an iPhone?

I can't answer for old mate Scott's movements.. But I browse from my work laptop during the day (which goes through the company VPN) then switch over to my home PC at night once I've finished work. Who knows how my work laptop traffic is routed. Sorry can't be more helpful than that.

Yup.. pretty big gamble on my behalf but after currency conversion and the talks of the wait time, I felt I was comfortable with taking the gamble with this guy. Plus I really wanted something sooner in my hands.. I'm impatient like that.

Someone mentioned in the other thread about where these people may source these watches from.. This is what I have no idea about as this is all still new to me.. At the end of the day I'm happy with what I have received and it fullfills my requirements. If I go down this rep rabbit hole in the future, I may get into all the intricacies and go direct to a proper TD for something else that is better. I have no idea if what I've received is considered a quality rep or not.. I've never held a real panda before to compare. All I know is I'm happy with this and I was excited to share the news on this forum in a section that I thought was the correct section to post in...

OK that's all from me. Back to work on my work laptop through my company VPN. Who knows where it'll take me next...

Well that was a ride…

Well, I didn't check the forum yesterday evening but looks like this was handled.

Thanks to all the admins and mods!
