Got this information from Reptime mods. I am 100% sure.. just be advised
It would be cool to know what mod have told you this. Reptime and RWI Moderators have our Names, IP addresses, ID cards copy to verify and authenticate us.
We both have different names, different IPs, different locations (I am based in Liguria, a location on the italy seaside, while Nikz19 is located near Milan, about 300 kilometers away).
Also our clients make payments to our bank account. And both have two totally different names, I am called Nicola, Nikz19 is called Nicholas.
And not talking about the pictures we provide clients, the hands in the picture, the nails. Everything is different.
As mentioned the Moderators have our ID cards. That's a step you have to provide if you want to get to go through the "Trusted" status because if anything happens, you can be legally persecuted. At least on my side I had to share a verification of my identity, maybe Nikz19 didn't.
That said it is also true that We have collaborated in the past. I got helped in the past by Nikz because He was a reliable watchmaker, reason why he was a trusted watchmaker here on the forum, otherwise I don't think he would ever reach that position. But it's been a couple of months I don't hear from him and we don't collaborate anymore. I have visited his laboratory which is public and also sometimes shared pictures of works on his laboratory because as said He had helped me with some works.
And about the Witschi machine, here is my witschi machine with my tag in the description and also a new wall! So you can enjoy the evidence that I have one of those machines too, it's not an evidence to judge someone because he has professional tools like someone else. Professional watchmaking tools can be purchased online and are all the same and come all with the same stickers adhesives and everything. I also printed a receipt off my machine which is in the picture and it's different from the Nikz19 receipt (another reason added to the big evidence that we can't be the same person).
And also I want to point out that all the Moderators and Admins also check your ID and you can't have multiple accounts on RWI, so this could have never happened to have another account from years and create another with the same ID or the same phones / PC. Unless also moderators would agree to create something weird but I think their interest is to keep the platform clean and that's our business interest too. I am doing great business, answering phone regularly and having no issues on orders. A complete different business model to the Nikz19 service you guys are complaining about.
