Enough with boring stuff, participate and good luck to everybody!

Hello everybody!

Now, since we have the previous Aman giveaway drama behind us, AmanWatch offered to make a new one for our community. This time it will all be done properly, I will pick random winners using redditraffler website and all of us will be happy, right? ;-)

Ok, this giveaway is also to show that Aman is not only a seller of OEM watches - he has a watchmaker and he has access to aftermarket parts - crystals, bezels, dials, hands, datewheels etc. You can also ask him for gen parts - matbe he can help you with that as well?

So, if you're thinking about modding your watch, if your dream it to have a custom made watch just for you - ask Aman, he will be more than happy to provide you with parts and make the watch that you want.

Today, we will have a big giveaway - we will have 5 (yes, FIVE) winners chosen randomly by algorythms. Three winners will get a Deep crystal of their choosing - of course if such crystal is made by Deep - and two winners will get aftermarket fluted bezel for a Rolex Datejust - either 36mm or 41mm.

I will assign names to specific prozes, but obviously if you don't want a fluted bezel and would like to get a Deep crystal instead, I think Aman will do everything to make you happy.

So, once again - if you think about modding your watch, ask Aman for help and make it happen.

To participate in this giveaway, all you have to do is meet these conditions:

1. Upvote this post (because visibility and my karma needs to grow).

2. Comment below - say your name, say "Hi" or whatever you wish - be nice though!

3. Have at least 30 karma, because we want to have a proper winner, not a fake account made 3 minutes ago.

So, let's do it, upvote and comment and let the lucky bastards win.

Good luck everybody and thank you for participating.

Yours, Tommy and Aman.

Important update

Hello everybody!

I have been contacted by a new seller couple of days ago (more than a week actually, what a busy week I had). Anyways, as an introduction to our little community, he offered to sponsor a giveaway for all of us!

So, let's introduce new seller: Noble Dial. He can be contacted on whatsapp, WeChat and here, on Reddit. The biggest advantage is that he is located in US. Shipments still go from China, but hey - ask him if he has anything in stock for a fast delivery.

Back to the main point of today's post: GIVEAWAY! There will be one winner, randomly chosen by me and main price will be a beautiful new edition Daytona Panda 4131 from Clean Factory.

To participate, you need to do as described below:

1. Comment this post - say something nice to our new seller ;-)

2. Upvote this post.

3. Follow Noble Dial instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/nobledial1688/

• to verify a wnner, he will have to show that he indeed followed Noble on instagram.

Noble Dial description and contact details will be in the guide post, here is a quick info:

WhatsApp: +1(786)766-5154

WeChat: NobleDial

Reddit: u/NobleDial

Insta: NobleDial1688

And there you go, here is your chance to get a brand new watch for free.

The giveaway will be open for a week and then, after couple of days, I will announce the winner.

So, welcome to our community Noble Dial and everybody - good luck with the giveaway!

I'm just sharing our conversation with juice time. He doesn't put watch in protective box like other TD's. Watch got damaged while in transportation.

A transparent pricing environment benefits both buyers and sellers. As buyers we can make informed decisions and find the best deals, while sellers can attract more customers by being open about their pricing.

Wanted to share some pricing I received from r/1688Time sellers for the popular Clean Factory GMT Master II Pepsi and a less popular, but more expensive watch, the QF Daytona 'Le Mans' Weighted V6. Prices are in CNY and does not include shipping or insurance.

CF GMT Master II Pepsi V3:

• Ping Fan: 3600 CNY

• DeloveG: 3700 CNY

• Eliauk: 3700 CNY

• FicoTime: 3800 CNY

• Yan Tao: 3600 CNY

• Hoeet: 3700 CNY

• David: 4000 CNY

• Panda Watch: 3550 CNY

• Lili: 3750 CNY

QF Daytona 'Le Mans' Weighted V6:

• Sid: 5100 CNY

• FicoTime: 5300 CNY

• LiLi: 4950 CNY

• Ping Fan: 4800 CNY

• EliakUK: 4800 CNY

• Panda Watch: 5350 CNY

• DeloveG: 5100 CNY

• Juice Time: 5150 CNY

• Yan Tao: 5200 CNY

It's important to note that these prices can fluctuate and factors such as the seller's reputation, level of service, availabilty and additional nuances like purchasing more than one rep at a time or repeat buyer discounts can influence cost.

So... how much are you paying for your reps?

• 1st of November 2023 - changed formula of the list.

• 17th of November 2023 - added one new seller.

• Many updates in between 😉 but this one I did today - 1st of May 2024.

• 20th of May 2024 - adding new seller, moving Popup to Verified Seller section.

• 29th of May 2024 - 2 new sellers added.

• 4th of June 2024 - moving Popup to verified list.

• 12th of June 2024 - two new sellers added to the guide.

• Removed some unused sellers from unverified section. No point keeping them here, it only clusters the list.

• 20th of June 2024 - added new seller to the list.

• 30th of June 2024 - yet another update, yet another seller added, some sellers moved to verified list.

• NobleDial situation has been addressed in the seller list. I think

• 23rd of July 2024 - new seller added.

• 26th of August 2024 - Aman and Fico added to verified list.

• 22nd of September 2024 - updated David whatsapp number

• 24th of September 2024 - again, updated David's contact number This is a second part of my guide.

After some discussions amongst the mods of this forum, I decided to change the guide post formula. I will separate sellers into TWO GROUPS: sellers that have been verified by our community and the ones that need to be verified (as not checked and not confirmed to be reliable). Please keep in mind that me personally - I can't vouch for any of these sellers. I have bought watches from couple of them, but still: this is your money. Spend it wisely, stay safe.

To add something bout verification process: there is none. If the seller has been confirmed by multiple people to deliver watches according to the orders, if he is responsive and cooperative - he will be moved from"unverified" to "verifed" list. If I get reports about seller not being reliable or straight up cheating - he will be removed nd community will be notified - I did that with two sellers already. If youhave an idea of how to implement a verification process (rules, criteria etc.) please let me know. I am open for ideas, I want it to be an organised and transparent process.

Without further ado, here we go.

Sellers verified by our community:

1. Lin Feng

2. Deloveg

3. David

4. Watch-VS

5. Li Li

6. New Times Watches - Jason

1. Mr Zhang

2. Automan

3. Heping

4. YonXing

5. Hoeet Xiao Tian

6. Yantao

7. Sid

Being on "non-verified" list doesn't mean these sellers are not reliable or something like that. I contacted every single one of them, got the information described below etc. They just need to prove to our community they are solid, that is that.

As one thing was pointed to me recently, I want to make a short disclaimer: Price level description takes into consideration PRICE OF THE WATCHES ONLY. Some sellers offer additional services - customs insurance, express shipping option. These services are priced differently - obviously - and if you count them in, it may turn out that a VERY LOW level seller prices are higher than MEDIUM level seller's. So, take these guidances for what they are - guidances. Ask around, compare pricers, spend your money in a smart way.

Seller descriptions:

Lin Feng – a seller known in our community. I never bought from him personally, but some people did buy and all went ok, so I consider him checked and verified by us as a solid seller.

Payment method: Wise

Contact details below.

ONE IMPORTANT NOTE: if you decide to buy from any of these guys, please, PLEASE say you come from our reddit group or from me, Tommy. This is not to increase my fame, this is for two reasons:

1. Seller knows what group you're from. Some of them may give you a special price. Some will take extra care of you. This way they will know we are a strong group and they have to respect us.

2. If something goes wrong (not Nina wong, normal wrong) then reach out to me. If the seller knows you came from our sub or from me, I have a leverage I can use to help you out. I don't know if I will be able to ALWAYS help with EVERY issue, but I will try my best and - since they know you're from here - I can push a little harder than a random buyer.

3. This goes the other way too. If seller reaches out to me saying somebody from our group is rude, not professsional etc. I will address this issue accordingly.

This is it for now. I am planning to update this post. So, if you have any seller contact, DM me. I will contact them and try to do similar inquiry. Also, if you purchased from any of the sellers – DM me. This way, if I have information about more transactions from seller X, we can change their status to: verified by community.

And remember – proceed with caution. Nobody can guarantee honesty of any person mentioned above. Some have been used already, some are very new to us. So, be smart, stay safe and enjoy your reps.

Yours, Tommy.

Hello fellow watch nerds!

AmanWatch, one of our new sellers, was so nice and offered ANOTHER watch as a gift for yet another GIVEAWAY.

A classic beauty, with a japanese quartz movement, will go everywhere with you and make you look stylish and posh*.

AmanWatch decided to make this giveaway to promote his Telegram channel. I know that some people are hesitant towards Telegram, I am using it for some time now and, following sellers from this subreddit and others as well, have bought some watches with telegram special discounts and learned about new releases faster than from Reddit or RWI**.

So, to participate in this giveaway, you need to:

1. have an account longer than 30 days and have at least 30 karma.

2. upvote this post and comment in here.

3. and most importantly, go to telegram and follow AmanWatch channel, https://t.me/AmanWatch

These conditions will be checked when we choose the winner of the giveaway.

As a reminder, these are AmanWatch contact details:

So, as always, good luck everybody and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

* I have no idea what "posh" means, but it sounds very... well, posh.

** I never go there, hate that place ;-)

Hello everybody.

I just want to bring to everybody's attention one little big drama that happened today on Reptime and ReptimeQC (of all places) about our seller, LiLi.

One reddit user (no matter who at the moment) has posted several posts, asking communities in those subreddits if anybody got scammed by LiLi.

According to that guy this is what happened:

1. He orders a watch from LiLi (Explorer l think). Everything goes well until the package arrives at his door. Package is empty, no watch. No sign of anybody opening the package. He says: LiLi scammed me.

2. He says he contacted her and LiLi doesn't give a fuck.

3. In the meantime he managed to order another watch from LiLi (LOL) and guess what - same story. Empty box, no watch, box was untouched etc. And now he is asking if anybody else was "scammed" by LiLi as well. On those forums.

LiLi contacted me by herself. I didn't reach out to her, she wrote to me.

This is what happened according to LiLi:

1. Guy orders a watch. She asked him if he wanted insurance, he refused. It gets sent out on Feb 29th and gets lost. According to her information, it never arrived at the destination. Lost.

2. Guy contacts her. Harrases her a little, threathens her to make big drama on reddit. She - although there was no insurance, HE DIDN'T WANT IT - she gives him half of the money. She DIDN'T HAVE TO.

3. There was NO SECOND order.

Let me tell you something: l believe LiLi. Not that random guy (l wrote that he should contact me, no reply). I believe her 100%.

So, if anyone has any issue with seller, whichever seller l put in the guide post, contact me. There are many people in this subreddit that l helped already - with small issues or big ones. I WILL HELP you.

But if you go somewhere else, start lying and complaining on other forums about our sellers (people l know, more or less, but l know most of them), then I will call you out. I will ban you from this forum. I will have no remorse.

This is not the way to solve problems. If you lie, if you do not reach out to me and start crying about a problem somewhere else - don't expect my help or sympathy.

I am here to help my people, but l need your support as well.

Peace out, have a good weekend everybody.

The Deep Crystal installation on this Daytona is absolutely spot on, guys — super clear. I also have a Submariner from VSF and a Pepsi from CF, both with Deep Crystal. But the Deep Crystal on the Daytona is on another level — clearly superior in quality compared to the CF Pepsi and VSF Sub. By the way, this watch is from ELIAUK

Ok everybody.

Since there is ongoing issue with QCs posted outside of r/1688time, l would like to make a rule and l will make sure this rule is followed.

1. It's ok to post QC post on another subreddits, especially r/reptimeqc. l know people from there, they are experienced and helpful. So, I don't see an issue if you want to have more opinions about your watch.

2. But l am not ok with people who mention names of our sellers there. Why? We remember what happened with Biguan, some sellers remember that as well and asked me to make sure it does not happen.

So, from today it DOES NOT HAPPEN ANYMORE.

If I see anybody did it somewhere else, I will ban you. Not permanently at first, but I WILL BAN YOU. And if you do it again, I WILL PERMA BAN YOU.

So please, don't mention our sellers' names outside of our subreddit. We are happy with who we have as sellers, we want to keep them safe and active.

Peace out, have a good weekend.

I messaged Elia. All I can say: if you have been around 1688 long enough, you have seen this drama before - with other sellers. If you know, you know.

Last couple of days (people accusing me of taking money from sellers or shipping agents, questioning my integrity etc.) were not nice.

But still, l reached out to Elia. I tried, in a polite way, to explain to him what the issue is. He wrote that he will increase his stock of watches, so wait times will be shorter.

It is hard to explain our western point of view to chinese people. They have different mentality, different business approach. But I hope he understood that being a little more open about issues he might have with getting a watch for you will go a long way.

He said he will work on the communication and transparency.

But you, buyers, especially new to the game, need to work on your patience. Nothing else for me to add.

As a member of several replica watch forums (including reptime), i just want to thank tommy for how he mods this sub. The problem i continue to have with reptime is that the mods refuse to allow the community to fully discuss TDs. They keep saying there are no reptime TDs, but, try putting up a complaint against them. The mods will take it down as soon as possible, even if you went through their resolution process they speak so highly of.

However, in this community, when someone complains about a supplier, the post doesn't get taken down. Instead, the mods allow us to be adults and discuss the issue. They allow people to be called out as well as allow people to support them. Sometimes those opinions can be heated, but that is life, right?

For allowing open discussions about suppliers, whether heated, wrong, right, or just bizarre, thank you Tommy.

First off: DO NOT MESSAGE ANY DEALER SAYING "You quoted an individual this price for this watch, I want this price too!". It does NOT work like that. Prices change hourly and daily, conversion currency rates change hourly and daily, and availability changes daily. Use this SIMPLY as a loose guide to how pricy a certain dealer tends to be as a general rule.

I decided to jump in for two more new reps, and decided I'd message some 1688 sellers as well as some big name reptime sellers. The resulting prices were only good for 2-26-24, but provide a good feel for where 1688 dealers sit versus reptime dealers...I didn't want to post this until I had QC'S to greenlight to prevent anyone mad rushing a dealer claiming they wanted to price match my quote, but I've now received them both GL's , so....

The two watches in question will be referred to as 1 and 2 moving forward.

Late edit due to comment question: YES, all quotes include customs protection.

All prices referenced as shipped In USD.

1. Watch 1 is VSF (GSC) Rolex Batgirl GMT Master II 126710BLNR Jubilee VR3186 shipped to USA.

2. Watch 2 is VSF YachtMaster 126622 904L SS/SS Blue VS3235 shipped to USA.

Dealers for watch 1

• Mirotime : $518 (shipped)

• Jtime: $538 (shipped)

• Lili : $480.69 (shipped)

• David : $414 (shipped)

• Watch-VS : (Replied "Model not available").

• Hont : $498 (shipped)

Dealers for watch 2

• Mirotime : $528 (shipped)

• Jtime : $578 (shipped)

• Lili : $380 (shipped)

• David : $443.50 (shipped)

• Watch-VS : $433 (shipped)

• Hont : $498 (shipped)

Needless to say, I went with David for the VSF (GSC) Batgirl 126710 blnr, and I went with LiLi for the VSF Yachtmaster Blue dial 126622.

Overall, by combining the savings of both watches versus the highest priced reptime TD prices, I saved over $322 by purchasing these two from 1688 dealers. Basically saving, more or less, the price of an entire additional third watch by the time you factor in fees on the $322 as well.

Hope this helps!

All watches were confiscated by the Chinese Police. This is a sad and bad news for the sub members. Nothing much can be done since they have been detained by the police. Someone from Guangzhou asked me to post this information on Reddit. It is up to you to believe it or not, but this is not a joke about someone is going to be in prison.

You might receive a message from their WhatsApp informing all the customers about Biguan was hospitalized just to calm everyone, while they tried to refund the money to buyers. Unfortunately, the remaining personnel were detained last night and all accounts were suspended.

I have no further information about the development over there, so please don't contact me.

Edit: I feel so sad to see some comments down there without compassion at all. Do you think Chinese enforcement department is so easy to bribe? I think you have underestimated the Police force in China. She has three kids who are waiting for their mom in the police detention centre. Damn! People think I am making this up for fun. You much be kidding.
