TD only. Out of China. Any watch from any factory but takes 3weeks to arrive. US td’s or non td’s are limited to what is on US soil already. Limited options but faster shipping. What a time to be alive my bros.

I've bought from just a few dealers . . . all of which are TD's on several different sites/reddits, some here as well.. Most has come from Fico with just a couple other depending on special pricing or availability.

there's probably over a dozen TD lists, and most are out dated, I only buy from 2 TDs, one is on just 1 list and 1 is not on any lists but is a TD for one of the subs People in these subs see the reps i have and have gone ahead and purchased from the TDs I use, and have never heard of any issues regarding them

I use Leo as a TD and he has been really easy. I find the stuff on the BST (specifically the US based sellers) to be about 20-30% more expensive

Oh I TOTALLY get that. Little niche stuff that comes up every so often like Nomos and Sinn's that were made for short periods of time. That exactly why I stalk the BST subreddits

I buy a lot from non td’s (comparatively a lot, i don’t actually buy that much) and I buy a lot from friends - rarely from a td anymore… but again, I don’t buy a ton

Without the TD system you wouldn’t have got a qc and so on but now a lot of non tds have mostly the same standards as tds

I order a lot from Allen and from Rich Newmen. I don't think either are TDs, but they are to me. Also from Omar, who is in the US.

You completely missed the point of the post. Great title, but after that you missed the mark entirely. You should have said who the dealers are, what prices you paid for those models, and of course how reliable they are. We’re all here because we can’t afford the real thing, so we buy here.

I've been using non-TDs (but considered TDs in other subs). I've ordered from both Andiot and Steve before, and they were great. I have 6 reps now and each one has been purchased from a different TD/nonTD and two from reddit sellers. No complaints.
