How to Choose a Trusted Dealer
Finding a reputable dealer is the most important step in buying a replica watch. Here’s how to spot the good ones and avoid the bad.
Red Flags to Avoid

- Stock Photos Only: Insist on real, in-hand photos.
- Pushy Sales: Beware of dealers who pressure you to buy quickly.
- Unusual Payment Requests: Never send money via Western Union or gift cards.
Where to Find Dealer Reviews
- RepTime and RepGeek: Community-vetted dealer lists.
- Review Threads: Look for “TD” (Trusted Dealer) feedback threads.
- Photo Reviews: Real customer photos are the best proof.
Contacting Dealers: What to Ask
- Is the watch in stock?
- Can you provide current QC photos?
- What is your return or reship policy?
- What payment methods do you accept?
