If you think that sharing a bad experience derives from a need to draw blood, maybe you should look at your mirror. It is definitely your way to see things. Not mine. I always leave reviews, good or bad when I have pleasant or unpleasant experiences..

You should have better told me from the very beginning that sharing my experience here is not allowed. I understand that you are not on my side and I see why. But please, no more nonsense.
I was simply asking you a question if you want to draw blood and look at your emotional reaction...

When you post some personal experience like this, you never expect other members will ask questions?

Buying homage watches at amazon is more suitable for you.

I'm an old man, on the forum since 2017.
Here is how I would have handled this:

Watch arrives with problem.
Contact AD.
Check with local watchmaker to see if he can help and what it would cost to fix.
Post nature of issue with watch here on RWI and ask for advice on how to proceed.
Send watch to trusted RWI watchmaker, pay about $150 for repair.
Provide TD with proof and ask for discount at next purchase.

That procedure is spot on. For those who don’t have rep friendly watchmakers locally, check out the watchmaker section here if your TD cant recommend one. It’s going to take time, but the watch should return repaired

I simply reported my complaint for other members to know

Thanks. Other members have chimed in. Now you know what we overwhelmingly think…and lo and behold, it’s not what you thought would happen.

Not mine. I always leave reviews, good or bad when I have pleasant or unpleasant experiences..

Really? Where are those reviews? Is this your first TD purchase ever?

The hostility and pushback is quite extraordinary. Read what others with shedloads of experience are saying and move on.

I see where this is going. Starting with the fact that you insist that I asked for intervention, which I never did. I sense that you need financial support to be polite and fair with your judgment when it comes to members that are having a bad experience with a seller, even though their case could be indeed an exception to the rule. Your problem is that I have not been an active member since my registration and I have not read every little thread in the forum. If I was more active maybe I would know that I should not send the watch to China. Maybe I would know that it is better to suck it up and pay from my pocket to repair it even if it was not my fault that it arrived broken. Maybe I would have developed the technical skills to know how much a setting lever pin replacement costs. Maybe I could have become a watch expert and fix it myself. I apologise but I also have a life. Next time I'll ask for advise directly from you since you probably know many repair shops in Greece that would happily take the responsibility to repair replicas at reasonable prices without knowing what's inside and where to find parts.
Yeah, your situation is frustrating and and unpleasant. Spending money and not getting what you paid for is never fun. However, knowing the rules of the game before you start playing is always beneficial. The $533.70 you spent did not justify more research on what to do and what not to do? We all have lives. Aren't they worth .....knowing before doing?

Or I have higher standards...
One thing I like about threads like this is the record keeps indefinitely. Means whenever you wanna trade in any M2M deals, members will click on your name and look around. This is an excellent record for future traders to know how the OP is when things go south. Please keep adding references.

Locked in the same drawer with his common sense

Let me tell you what common sense is. To understand that not everyone is stuck in this forum spending his whole time on replicas. In case you aren't aware, there are millions of shops and marketplaces selling products and services out there that you can leave reviews. Oh, I guess your common sense did not allow you to think that there's also life out of this forum while you were typing your irony.

Have you or have you not bought from a TD before since 2017?

If yes, where is the review?
Simple question towards your claim.

If from Reddit, where is the review?
If from Insta, where is the review?

If never bought a rep before this one, just get off the high horse.

Or, you could have kept the stickers and get a righteous replacement. But you got rid of them, invalidating the warranty.
Maybe. But I could never imagine that by removing the stickers I would lose the right for a replacement. Besides, don't forget that I informed the TD immediately after the watch was delivered to me. He could check the timestamps if he wanter. I guess it's easy for someone to find excuses and reasons not to do the right thing.

Hey Karen, what about you take off the stickers and replace them with a shitter, or another DoA rep you bought before? You don't trust a TD, why would they trust you? From what Karbon74 pointed out, you are not a trustworthy person either.

I have recently bought from Andiot. What is your point? Did I say that I've left reviews here for replica purchases? Not everyone is stuck in this forum spending his whole time on replicas. In case you aren't aware, there are millions of shops and marketplaces selling products and services out there that you can leave reviews. Tell me you didn't know that

I don't mean to be flippant, but I don't think replica watches are for you. You've definitely been unlucky, but things do go wrong with these watches, it's the nature of the beast. You're still going to get a perfectly good watch at the end of all of this, but sending watches back is a time consuming process which is why many people warn against doing it. And I can see why you'd have issues with parts of the transaction, but don't forget you've not ordered this watch from a reputable high street store. If you buy a load of cocaine on the dark web, do you think the seller will take it back if the purity isn't what you'd hoped for? Expectation levels need adjusting my dude.
Ridiculous analogy

My point …
Not mine. I always leave reviews, good or bad when I have pleasant or unpleasant experiences..

…is that you just have been proven to lie

I rest my case.
