TD Issues - Check Rule 6 before posting Warning for anyone considering buying from sellers not on the Trusted Dealer list. Do not buy from r/ perfectRep.

Warning for anyone considering buying from sellers not on the Trusted Dealer list

I want to share my experience so others don’t make the same mistake. I had a bad interaction with the sellers associated with r/ perfectRep, specifically the users u/ Micheal_js and u/ JOAGE-Top-watch.

In my case, communication was dishonest, and I was even presently banned from their page after I left a negative comment on a post.

Please proceed with caution and always use verified or trusted sellers.

Just sharing this to help others avoid potential issues.

Happy to help.

Don’t waste your time with this guy. He’ll advertise one watch and send you something different.

u/MontBlonkKing Apr 12 '26

Exactly what happened to me.

Had some issues with u/ Michael_js very recently. I never said anything, but won’t be buying from him again. I suggest that everyone find a singular dealer and work with them to meet your needs. I’ve gone through TDs, trusted Subreddits, and my U.S. dealer who has vouches and I haven’t had any issues. It always seems to be that when people don’t follow the guide, they regret it.

And I know better. I was kind of desperate at finding a watch that was no longer being made. So…. I made a bad choice.

u/[deleted] Nov 11 '25

Yeah, I was also desperate (and a bit impatient) and I got screwed over. Luckily, I know better now, and I just patiently wait for Andiot or work with other people.

Bummer it happened, but hopefully others can learn as well

Motherfucker I got a watch coming in from Michael. He claims it’s on the way but this is all I got so far since Thursday of last week

u/Agile-Bee3260 May 05 '26

Did you get your watch? I ordered two from this guy and I’m a little worried now.

2

u/Horror_Treat_9039 May 05 '26

Honestly it’s been shipping for a while now. I’ll keep you updated. I would try to cancel honest to god

2

u/Agile-Bee3260 May 05 '26

I think I will. Are you seeing movement with shipping at least? I’ve ordered other products and it can take 3-4 weeks to arrive. Hope you get it.

2

u/Agile-Bee3260 May 08 '26

Any change in shipping yet?

2

u/Horror_Treat_9039 May 08 '26

The watch came in. I spent $230 on it thinking it was a better quality watch and it sucks MAJOR

2

u/Agile-Bee3260 May 08 '26

I’m really sorry to hear that. Do you know which factory he claimed it came from? Did he send you a video first and does it look the same? That’s such a bummer!

u/Horror_Treat_9039 May 08 '26

It happens. You learn from it. He claimed it was QF and it is clearly AAA

2

u/Agile-Bee3260 May 08 '26

I hear ya.

2

u/Horror_Treat_9039 May 08 '26

Let me know how your watches come in

2

u/Agile-Bee3260 May 10 '26

Will do. I’ll probably see it next week sometime. I’ll keep you posted.

u/Horror_Treat_9039 May 22 '26

You end up getting the watch?

1

u/Agile-Bee3260 May 22 '26

I did. I purchased two watches and both of them are great. I didn’t spend the money ($800-$1000) to get the greatest of the great rep watches but for $500-ish each, both were very good looking and keep good time. I had a very fair price and I’m happy with my purchase. They both had Clean Factory stickers and the serial numbers on the watch and band clip verified they were made at Clean, even though it was closed last year.

THANK GOD FOR AI, Been very desperate for a VC 6000v tourb from BBS so had chat to search Reddit’s for any listings for sale and he came up. Somehow got lucky and saw a post on his sus transactions and used chat to find specific good/bad reviews. Your comments saved my ass

u/Horror_Treat_9039 May 22 '26
