Anyway I feel like I am being accused and abused for simply sharing my experience .
Yes I am inexperienced and uneducated in this area . However I took confidence in the knowledge , trust and expertise of this forum .
If I have misunderstood than I apologise .
Thank you
What Andiot just posted shows the accusations and abuse you have received are well deserved.

You don't get to throw the stone and hide the hand.

You were pretty inflammatory to Andiot and he matched your attitude.

You took confidence in a false feeling that I have no idea how you got since you have been here only for TWO DAYS.

Absolutely, an apology is warranted to Andiot and those here who tried to help.

I just want to clarify on one of the questions you asked in the DMs. You asked

"then where is my buyers protection?"

This site is your buyers protection. The TDs on RWI are vetted and safe. There is a much higher chance random buyers are the scammers than one of the named TDs. That is why they don't do goods and services.

I appreciate your help and everyone’s help as although I have only been part of this forum for two days I do believe there is a genuine common passion and goal in trying to protect the integrity of both the supply and the customer.
I apologise for sharing my experience . I don’t believe it’s fair and aligned to this forums values to of received the onslaught I have for simply expressing my thoughts . Thanks for the education I won’t bother you any further . I wish Elliot and everyone all the best .

Thanks for making a big warning on my page for buyer reviews and run away that quick, would u try other seller and leave the same warnings to? Joking, take care.

No I didn’t not at all and I don’t understand why I am being treated like this for expressing my genuine concern
Because (as others have explained, I'm late) you accused a Trusted Dealer who has 1000s of sales here of trying to scam you in your very first post, what kind of response do you expect? That's like walking into the local pub and accusing the guy who runs the betting shop across the road of being a thief and a race fixer. The difference is, people here are trying to set you straight and the locals at my pub would have folded you like a pretzel for insulting a local business.

Do you honestly think Elliot is going to risk his place here in return for scamming a few thou out of you? here's a hint, he's far too smart for that and if he weren't, he wouldn't be here. He would be an idiot to do so and he is anything but, he is one of my favourite dealers because he is so easy to deal with. He and MReplica are probably the most polite dealers we have (none are rude as such mind you).

You need to spend time reading up on how this place works, did you even read the thread you were taken to when you joined? I bet you didn't because if you had you would have a far better idea of how it all works and would never have posted this rubbish in the first place.

Thanks @Elliot Black
From my perspective, you were fully right to protect yourself. 🤗

@charliesydney I don't understand how you can dare to accuse someone of scamming when he is actually telling you that he does NOT want your business or your money? :unsure:

I’m sure this thread is done and dusted, but there will be many prospective buyers who will look and wonder, especially if they’re new to this. I offer a newbie experience.
I chose Andiot due to being one of a few who have stock already in the UK and contacted him via WhatsApp. The conversation was pleasant, efficient, patient (yes, I read the threads, but still needed a bit of a hand) and ended with a purchase which involved a bank transfer to a UK bank with no seeming affiliation. I paid, advised such, received promises around tracking numbers and delivery, and duly had the watch in my hands as promised, and within 48hrs of my weekend purchase. In other words, and bearing in mind this isn’t regular retailing, the transaction was perfect. The experienced buyers/members will know this, but for the newbies, there’s no issue here. This seller is worthy of your time, money, and regard.

I would just like to add my experience with @Elliot Black at Andiot watches with me being relatively new to this

I found him to very helpful, i have purchased from his website and have also purchased from his UK Stock with no issues

Had a watch where i felt the date was out of alignment and he had me send it to his UK watch guy who sorted this and returned to me in a week at no cost to me

Great service from a great TD

I am new member here and have placed three orders with this TD without any issues, about to place my 4th and I have no reservations doing it.
That's why they are called a trusted dealer if you don't want to follow their instructions on how to pay then go else where but don't come on here calling them a scammer.

I've used Elliot exclusively and would recommend him to everyone. Admittedly, there has been slight miscommunications at times but he always sorts out any issues after a couple of messages. His pricing and service keeps me from trying any other TD.

Elliott is an absolute gem, especially for us in the UK. In terms of comms, you will not find somebody so responsive, the old 10+ year timers will know.

Then there is his fair pricing, no explanation needed.

Elliott is an example of what we want and need. As stated before, your protection is the forum, the mods.
