davidmac Posted June 24, 2014 Report Posted June 24, 2014 Hello everyone, I'm new to the scene of reps, as you can see by the title I found this site after I'd made the purchase. I wanted to know if anyone else has ordered a rep rolex sub from ioffer, I have tried using re search function but can't find any reults specific to my topic.
hunvaakaren Posted June 24, 2014 Report Posted June 24, 2014 I bought some oakley sunglasses from ioffer, they where not Good at all why dont you just stick with the trusted dealers from this site? You know what you Get then.
davidmac Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Posted June 24, 2014 I already ordered the watch before finding this forum. After doing some much needed reading about reps etc, I wish I'd have just saved a little and bought one from a TD here. The seller I ordered from has now pulled all his listings I have found another seller (HERE) that seems to be using the same pictures but doesn't have the Black Submariner that i ordered but the green one looks the same. Although they could be using any picture! He's provided me with a tracking number and it appears to be coming from Switzerland

davidmac Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) From Switzerland? Congrates, your getting a real gen watch then I'm not entirely sure I am, something just doesn't seem right. For what I paid ($60) to a Chinese seller, a Swiss Rolex rep seems a bit much. Also, the tracking number he provided to me doesn't appear to work. EDIT: Sorry, I miss-read your post, I totally missed the joke Edited June 24, 2014 by davidmac

The laws protecting their industry are very strict in Switzerland. No one would be stupid enough to make them there. They all come from Asia. If a dealer tells you they come from anyplace else, they are lying and you should not buy from people who lie to you.

The actual package itself has a swiss tracking number and appears to be coming from Switzerland.

dovo1695 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 Btw David, we're not poking fun at you. We've all been there! There probably isn't a veteran member here that couldn't tell you a story or two about their own worst rep transaction when starting out. I hope your package arrives. If it never does, take comfort in knowing that after spending a few weeks on this forum, you'll likely wind up with a watch that is 10 times better than what you were trying to originally buy. School of hard knocks, $60; knowledge you can glean from these forums...priceless.
alt.watch.obsessive Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 $60 is well worth it to find this forum. I myself found the old RWG by searching for a seller I had good luck with on iOffer....Eddie Lee. His prices were at least double on iOffer Do update the thread to tell us what you get!
davidmac Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Posted June 25, 2014 Chocolates and replica francs sounds much more appealing to the type of rep I've ordered. I really like the look of TCs Sub but it's well out of my price range at the moment. I'll keep everyone updated with what I receive.
Jkay Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 I was cheated twice in a row before I found this forum, so it does happen to almost everyone.
davidmac Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Posted June 25, 2014 I may not have been cheated, I'll just have to wait and see
davidmac Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Posted June 27, 2014 There's an update in the tracking information, it seems the watch is coming from Hong Kong and not Switzerland. The tracking info is here: Switzerland Normal Tracking United Kingdom(Modify) Not Found 2014-06-27 10:10, Departure from border point of origin country, Asendia Asia Transporting SummaryCopy Destination Country - United Kingdom:Tracking Consuming:1950 Millisecond Origin Country - Switzerland:Tracking Consuming:0 Millisecond, Cache Time:2014/06/27 06:26:27 2014-06-27 10:10, Departure from border point of origin country, Asendia Asia 2014-06-27 10:10, Arrival at border point of origin country, Asendia Asia 2014-06-27 10:10, Mailed, Asendia Asia
dovo1695 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 That's really bizarre. I guess you'll know soon enough what it is. Be sure to post some pics when that box arrives!
davidmac Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Posted June 28, 2014 My wife ordered a Pandora bracelet from iOffer at the same time as I ordered the watch. Well, the Pandora bracelet arrived today and it's fit for the bin. I can only imagine what the sub is going to be like. I've done a little digging around and what do you all make of this HERE as a starting point? Thanks for all your replies guys!
Jkay Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 If you are buying leather goods, clothing, luggage and jewelry, you need to see Ken @ Bergie's store. He's the top man for non-watch and non-tool items. Don't screw around with the ripoff sites most people go to. He's the top man. He's a moderator here, too. Send a PM to user KB As for watches, any of the trusted dealers on the board will help you. I'd try ToroBravo, or Sead from SuperMirrors

I have seen a lot of recommendations for Bergies, I've also had a look on Replica plaza which I believe is Kens website but there isn't a huge selection of things on there. On the watch front however, I've found one over on RWI M2M that's within my price range and looks like a nice example of a Sub, we're currently working out the logistics of the sale as he's in CONUS and I'm in the UK. I'm not entirely sure how it'd work with regards to any customs issues, what're the chances of a seizure? Again, thanks for all the great advice, you've all been very helpful and welcoming.

It does not even show 10% of the things he sells, yet. Tell him what you want, and he will forward pictures. 1
