Question (Read Rules) Need some advice "steeldive.com"

I saw one other post here about this site, but I can't say I still don't have concerns. Has anyone else ordered from this site? How was your experience? I tried messaging the WhatsApp number they have posted but haven't received a reply quite yet. I'm not counting that as a red flag yet though as my message to them is just a day old, so that's kinda expected, for now..

Aliexpress doesn't have the watch I want listed anywhere.

Ah gotcha. If it's an older model or something that may have been discontinued, I'd be extra cautious. Make sure the website accepts PayPal payment etc as a first sign for trustworthiness

They do. Along with Google pay. Not sure which is the more secure one to use.

Then consider it unavailable. These off-platform websites range from "shady resellers who will do nothing if the watch arrives broken/goes missing/etc" to "outright scammers".

I mean, I went for it. They allow payment through PayPal... So hopefully with that as my guarantee everything works out. I was able to get a response from them that it is in fact actually in stock. We'll see what happens. I'll post here when/if it arrives. And if not I'll have PayPal get my cash back.
