Its all a stunt. They need to sell X amount of watches. sell X amount of parts within their circle. Its always one account that sells the parts, and other account that sells the wrapped watches. Then they market how "great 904L steel is". it starts from RWI...
If someone else brings the same product to the market (same site they sell) they make "fake stories" and try to ban them. happened to me: I brought noob V9 and 16610JF to CONUS and they banned me from selling because its not coming from them directly... they made fake stories up... their claim at first was that I cant sell watches with wrappers so they put my account on hold but they always sell one from one account with wrappers on and charge in Euro. I took the wrappers out and tried to sell them then they said you cant sell new watches for profit, when I told them to proof how much profit i am making - they didnt want look stupid so they banned me -claiming that I leave myself feedback....lol https://www.repgeek.com/straps-and-watch-parts/297274-rolex-submariner-16610-modded-extra.html
I moved from RWI to Repgeek and tried to sell parts, they attacked me there making falls allegations and trying to kick me out from there... its not in RWI's best interest if traffic moves away from them to Repgeek so its logical to have the person banned from other forums also.....
I dont know if RWI and Repgeek are internally connected ( as i am a new hobbyist) but if they are then Ill be banned from there also(just a matter of time), then I will come here, and they will try to ban me from here....lol
Its all part of a stunt like the 904L steel.... do you guys know if the forums are all connected as a monopoly ? or are each independent
