Hello and WELCOME to RWI from the official reception desk team!

You are receiving this reply either because you posted in the "New members say hi" section or because I spotted one of your first posts elsewhere. In the latter case, please consider going to the aforementioned section and introduce yourself.

If you haven't already, please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members section (all subsections) as they contain information for newbies and most importantly our forum rules! In particular, please take note of our sales rules, because as a brand new member, you will be —under any circumstances— NOT yet eligible to sell.

A good starting point is this list of resources on RWI:


Also, this please take a look at this sticky thread:


If you need further help, please feel free to contact me or @Feefo!

We're always happy to help, but please allow some time for PM responses as we have lifes outside of RWI!

[Please note that this is NOT an automated message!]

I think that you should read the rules and not just barge into a place and do what you want.

What am I suppose to be " watching " ?. Another new member who didn't read the welcome links that @Feefo and @eBoy give new members. Or the fact that he isn't allowed to show QC pics and ask " what do you think ".

QC pics are for you to decide on the watch and not the members here.
Purpose of QC pic:

1) ensuring that you are getting the right watch
2) identifying any serious flaws in the item

You may post a QC pic if you have a specific question about a possible serious flaw that you have found, and want input on how common or acceptable it is. However, the purpose of QC pics, and especially posting it on the open forum, is not: "Dealer X has sent me this QC pic, what do you think?" or "xxxxxx under 1000x magnification looks slightly xxxxxx, should I accept?" etc.

We expect everyone to do their own research and homework as to whether an item is acceptable to them. If you haven't noticed a flaw, asking 38K members to jump in and identify all the problems they can possibly find is unfair to everyone. It's unfair to the folks who have taken the time and effort to learn about this hobby. It's even more unfair to the dealers, who have to individually buy the watches for you, inspect and photograph it, only to have you decide that some tiny imperfection which you never noticed in the first place, renders the piece unacceptable.

I may be mistaken but I think it's a watch.
@trixxon you already posted a similar thread and were given instruction on QC rules. A general "what do you think" is no specific question.

Are you serious? Multiple threads with the same question?

What was the reason for this post? Was there something specific you'd wanted to learn about it?

@trixxon I ask you again, have you read QC rules provided to you in earlier threads?
From one of those threads:
Purpose of QC pic:
1) ensuring that you are getting the right watch
2) identifying any serious flaws in the item

You may post a QC pic if you have a specific question about a possible serious flaw that you have found, and want input on how common or acceptable it is. However, the purpose of QC pics, and especially posting it on the open forum, is not: "Dealer X has sent me this QC pic, what do you think?" or "xxxxxx under 1000x magnification looks slightly xxxxxx, should I accept?" etc.


Furthermore, english only in the main forum, there's a french section in the international fora.

"Rolex Submariner RAF Factory. What do you think?"

I think "RAF Factory" is a tautology.
