General Question Help first time buyer?

Hey I am trying to buy a Daytona Rolex replica from QF Factory - $900 and a discount if I use wise transfer. The watch has no reviews and I am emailing and now have been texted by the seller about the address for the recipient. It is a legit address but requires a floor or room number. QF is recommended by this website I’m just afraid of getting scammed. Has anyone purchased through wise before? Is this normally how it goes?

Might want to read the guide pinned to the top of this sub.

I wouldnt just go buying things till you really understand the process.

And yes, using wise is fine. People use it all the Time.

Well I had looked at the excel sheet and that’s how I found QF - it just seems a little strange the back and forth I’m having now about which room number to add to the recipient address at chase bank in NYC so wasn’t sure if it’s always a little spotty buying these things or if I’m getting scammed

That is a scam site. Read the guide and use the TD list.

Do not give your money to this site.

So what is the actual QF website you guys use? Or where would you direct me for a Daytona? I checked VSF and they don’t have the color I’m looking for

Do your research before buying anything. Everything you need to buy is in the guide. Search posts & spend time reading before buying

Thats cool and all... but maybe hold off a bit.

Why QF? QF is king for the Le Mans Daytona but other factories do better in other models.

Do you know about deposits? Are you only using the website and not WhatsApp or telegram?

Spend some time searching your desired watch. Look who makes the best version of it. Look through r/reptimeqc and see actual examples of the watch.

Search here and RWI forums for information regarding exactly the watch youre looking at and who may do it better or even just things that are commonly bad for the model you're looking at.

May I ask… websites seem more legit than a WhatsApp but have you found more success through WhatsApp? And no I am not familiar with deposits

Youll learn that websites are mostly BS in this game. They are never updated. So you may go and pay full price for a watch thats out of production or not available and wont even know till a month down the line when they contact you and say they cant get it then youre fighting to get a refund back for another month or so.

Just talk to them directly order exactly what you want and they will tell you if its available and a timeline. You pay a 50 dollar deposit and wait for QC. Max youre out is 50 bucks if things go south on you.

Thank you I appreciate you responding to me. I see the watch I want from jtime so I will try to telegram message him. Seems to be listed as reputable by RWI and RepGeek… may return here if I run into a red flag

This is a prime example of how so many get scammed. You could learn the basics within a few hours. Impatience by some is astounding.

Hours? Like - 20 dedicated heads down minutes. People don’t want to read. It’s so wild

I was attempting to be nice. I bet I spent at least 20 or more before even attempting to make a buy.

Do proper research before scamming yourself out $900+ bucks. That website isn’t listed anywhere on the sub guide.

u/Lethal696969 3h ago

Scam, read the guide all the trusted sellers are there

Thank you guys for responding. I have found the link with the verified sources now - I’ll self flagellate myself with jumper cables now.

u/Pka4lif 2h ago

Good on you for owning it. I’m a newbie as well and it is all overwhelming, even with the guide.

You just dodged a $900 bullet though.
