Yeah ofc i wont take it for a swim or such before a real pressure test. But the question is rather then... Where would i be able to pressuretest it? I mean... does the local watchmaker take it in without seeing its a rep?

Your local watchmaker will probably be fooled, and say the reason you want it tested is because you opened the case-back yourself and want to make sure it's atleast 50m or so resistant. Would be best way.
Yeah thats a good reason, gonna try it out when the watch arrives. Its either that i opened the caseback myself.. or a long history about my grandfather who used it in ww2 and now i want it tested (allthough the watch was released 2018)
Got mine the other day, what a fantastic rep! Only complaint is the scallop seems about a quarter turn from centre...probably needs a bezel alignment because I cant unseen it, but still happy with it!
I was just about to order Omega 300m VSF V2 (I'm so eager to get it!)
But last time I bought a rep from both InTime and PureTime i used the Western Union as Payment Method. When I visit both of their website I can see it's gone, maybe they removed it?? I have no problem to use my MasterCard, but just to be extra sure, is it safe enough to use it there?

prefor one of those TD’s is my regular go to. I use to use my CC, but then I realized someone got hold of my CC details and purchased a bunch of apps through itunes, lol. Wasnt a lot of money, but the hassle to have CC replaced and then some wasnt nice. The last purchase I asked to use paypal.

The same thing happened to me. The bugger also bought a train ticket at Deutsche bahn. I'm never using my credit card for purchases from China again. Ever.

I am a bit surprised... Ordering on random sites is a bad idea, but I would have thought Trusted Dealer goes with trusted payment. Even with Chinese Sellers.
Problem is, using an indirect payment method generally goes with fees.

I just ordered the genuine version of this Omega 210.30.42.20.06.001 at Jomashop MSRP $5200, Regular Jomashop price $3750 -$100 = $3650 all in! which is low compared to the Black Dial (I have in Gen) and the blue Dial but today there was $100 cupon..That coupled with free shipping and Zero sales tax made it a must buy. I know this watch is supposed to be very very close to gen..See my VSF Diver 300 below but the gen was irresistible. So this will go up for sale after I brief comparison.
What payment method do you use then?
I'm thinking to use my Revolut with its virtual credit card.

This is what I do, blocking the card after each use (or setting a low daily limit).
Your card scheme will be assigned based on your location and cannot be selected.
Dammit since Revolut picks out the card for you (MasterCard or Visa) based on your location I can't pick MasterCard... I just wrote to Ryan and they don't accept Visa.
Ohh well I just I have to PayPal then :/
Does anyone knows how it works when transferring money through PayPal to TDs?

First of all, not all TDs accept PP payments; but if you have a good history with your TD, they offer such option. You get an email with all PP details of your TD; you send it as Family and Friends (gift) only (you cannot pay as Goods and Services, the TD will not accept such payment). When the transaction is completed, you sent the payment ID number via email to your TD and they confirm. Then you are good to go. Just watch out for the terrible exchange rates at PP!!
I just wrote to Ryan and he told me that I can use PayPal as payment
Niceee! Good to hear it's the "Family and friend" option! That's the easiest one to use
Yea I hate the exchange rates sometimes. But I will watch out for that, thank you!
Ohh one last question; does it matter which TD we use when buying 300m VSF V2?
I mean does other TDs have better quality than the other?

They all should have the same models, at about the same price.
If you have a Revolut card as you said, just pick the option where you don't let Paypal convert, but the card's bank. Doing so, I have no exchange fee. Oh, and Revolut takes a conversion fee the week-end, not during the week.
No, they can all get the same watches. The only difference you might see is that some TD's seem to be more picky when they go to the market than others or maybe a better way to put it is some TD's have a better eye for details or what ever. As a general rule of thumb, the bigger sites like TrustyTime, InTime and PureTime that have big fancy websites will get more customers and will be less picky about what they send you. The smaller TD's like Sead or Lucy or Mary (a TD on RWG) will be more picky, but they either don't have web sites or they don't have very good web sites and you likely will have to wait a little longer for your watch.
But does that even work if I got Visa instead of MasterCard in Revolut? Apparently my location is a Visa location...
Where in Revolut do I do that? I've been using Revolut for almost 2 years now, and have never seen that option before :O
Hmm i never thought about that before! I just used the bigger TDs since they feel more convenient to use, since they have a fancy website and all... I've never used the smaller TDs before. Which one would you recommend? And do they have Omega 300m VSF V2 in black color?
Do we just email them?
I know where to find the Trusted Rep dealers in this forum, I just haven't looked closer since I often just just the bigger TDs.
But I read that WatchOutlet shutdown their website for the year due to this Corona virus
Now when I think about it. Is it even "safe" to order watches since this Corona virus is all over the dam place... Won't the package or watch be infected? :/
Have any one you made any orders during Corona?
