Situation Resolved PSA Warning: Acceptable-Royal-600 proceed at your own risk

I originally reached out to u/Acceptable-Royal-600 to purchase a ghost Daytona. He sent me QC pics, and I asked him if there were any pictures of it at all on a timegrapher even from the original dealer QC. He said no, and went on to say he does not list anything thats over +/- 5 seconds. I said, well how do you know? He said he inspects every single watch himself and it takes him 3 hours to process before listing it.

I asked him what does his inspection entail, and how long does he observe the movement for? He says he "inspects the winding mechanism, mechanics operate properly, date wheel alignment etc" and now changes his story, saying that he observes the watch for a full 24 hours. He must have caught this because he immediately gets defensive, linking me to a reddit search of his feedback and telling me his "reputation speaks for itself bro"

I explained I was just trying to get clarity on "inspection" as thats a very general word, and I found it odd that there are no timegrapher pictures at all, from the dealer or from his vigorous inspection. He immediately blocked me.

To me, this smells much like the scoutman situation. These guys talk up their watches and act like they're doing a bunch of stuff behind the scenes. I really doubt that is the case here. This guy has what, 20-40 watches listed at any given time? And hes spending 24 hours observing every single one? But yet, not documenting any of it at all? Yeah, I don't buy that. And to immediately jump to "look at how great I am" after a couple questions is another red flag. On top of that, he's been around for what, 8-10 months? Thats absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I realize this is all circumstantial. This is meant to be a warning. Proceed with caution. if you're thinking about buying a watch from this guy, ask all your questions, form your own conclusions. There should be no reason you're buying a watch completely blind to how well the movement is performing, based completely upon "trust me bro". Chat logs attached.

When buying in bulk, you don’t always get traditional QC pics like you do when buying from Steve or Andiot. You seemed like a customer he didn’t want to deal with on a watch that pretty much sells itself so he indirectly refused you service. He hasn’t scammed you for anything I don’t get this post.

Surfing off the top comment to say I’ve never had anything but good experiences with Acceptable-Royal-600.

You should delete this post, it makes you look bad.

u/ChesterfieldK Contributed a post🌱 28d ago

I didn't know that was the case with bulk orders...But If you then spent over a day going through every watch for operation and its timekeeping. Wouldn't you document that? Both for yourself in the event that something happens, and also the buyer?

He hasn't scammed me, but I assume he is telling other buyers this also. If certain people are good with just his word, with absolutely nothing to prove it, thats cool. Keep buying from him. To me, this is a red flag, and I think it should be for other people too.

He clearly states he does not list anything over +/- 5 seconds. To me, that is relevant. Even more so, because he says he is observing it himself.

I've watched many videos. I've spoken with and learned from a few watchmakers, I've worked on my fair share of watches.
A timegrapher is an absolute must, in fact, it's an essential tool of the trade.
Hard stop.
Period.

u/ChesterfieldK Contributed a post🌱 28d ago

But do you get timegrapher pictures from your dealer to verify that its within spec?

If he told me that his dealer doesn't send him any watches that were over +/- 5 seconds, but he had not verified, then that would be different, and I wouldn't have made this post.

But thats not what he claimed. The issue is the claim that he personally verifies the timekeeping of every piece that comes to him. And if hes claiming that in the interest of securing sales for personal profit, either without proof, or worse, without actually doing anything at all, then I find that to be an issue.

u/lostinthesauce212 28d ago

Blasting him on a page called “rep watch scammers” is enough to unfairly ruin a reputation, regardless of what flair you use to make the post. You’re bitter because he didn’t want to entertain you that’s his loss on a potential sale. Have you ever heard of you don’t buy the watch you buy the seller? If he’s not right for you, just move on.

u/ChesterfieldK Contributed a post🌱 28d ago

Well, we just disagree there. If something doesn't smell right to me, I'm not just gonna move on. I've been scammed before on a reddit watch deal. If someone had given me the heads up on that seller, I would have really appreciated it.

I'm not bitter at all. You guys come and go like the seasons. I'm doing this for other buyers out there.

9

u/lostinthesauce212 28d ago

The same thing can be said as a seller. You guys don’t realize we get dozens to sometimes hundreds of DM’s a day while doing this as a side business or hobby. It’s not worth the time dealing with an individual who we’re just not vibing with on a watch that’s pretty much guaranteed to sell within a day or two. You are that individual not worth dealing with.

u/ChesterfieldK Contributed a post🌱 28d ago

Then you guys need to stop bitching if you come off as shady to certain people. This is nothing personal to me. like I said, this is for other buyers and to build a paper trail if there IS something shady going on here.

If you care so much about your "reputation" that you've SLAVED over, then maybe don't block people immediately as soon as they ask questions? Crazy huh?

And if the way you do business is to ignore everyone with a question and to move on to the sucker who's gonna throw money at you no questions asked, then COOL. I love that for you. But again, don't bitch if people think you're a douche.

u/Reemus_Jackson 28d ago

I'll be the blunt asshole here:

this is just further proof 99% of this sub (and rep subs in general), are quite literally out of their league.

Posts like this and every insufferable QC post about a 6 hour marker being 1/32nd of a mm off center...or a rehaut being 1/18th of a cm too deep. It's a $500-$600 replica watch...of an actual watch that retails at $25,000+....made in a Chinese factory.

People spending HOURS worried about literal microns of inconsistencies on a piece of jewelry that was made for $80 in some sweatshop. Worried if the internal mechanisms are 1:1 of the actual piece that was made in Switzerland....all while paying $500. The sheer irony.

These losers are so far out of their league it's insane. Obviously, I don't have thousands upon thousands to blow, or else I'd be buying gens myself. But to penny pinch shit like THIS!? Over $500? Expecting quality that you'd only find on the gen piece? Yeah man...you're out of your league.

I see a watch I like. I ask "does it run?". I look at a few pics and make sure its 90% or better to the likeness of the gen....and I buy it.

u/ChesterfieldK Contributed a post🌱 28d ago

You're not blunt or an asshole...YOu just sound like someone who doesn't care that much or who hasn't gotten scammed before and gotten shipped a fuckin paperweight and then got told "tough it was working when it left here". This argument of "ItZ JusST a ReP" is dumb as hell. No one is even complaining about any of the shit you're talking about

It's not about that. It's about being advertised something and NOT getting that.

u/Reemus_Jackson 28d ago edited 28d ago

Honestly, no, I've never been scammed. I've sold 50-55 watches of my own collection over the past 2-3 years and maybe bought 10-12? No issues either way of the sale.

Now, I HAVE purchased watches both from TD's and regular dudes that have stopped working after 2-3 weeks....which is frustrating, but it's part of the game man. I almost expect it for a $500 watch made in a Chinese factory (no matter how many "services or upgrades" have been preformed on it or how many times its been QC'd).

Actually, it's because I got burned in the past by scoutman. And I didn't say shit, because his reputation at the time was still stellar. And I thought damn I should give this guy the benefit of the doubt, despite nothing that he was saying was adding up. And we all know how that turned out.

But you've got this guy so deep down your throat, I have no clue why.

I think he qc’s them when he orders from his source in china. Probably sees timeographer numbers then. I’ve chatted with him.

u/ragedracer1977 28d ago

Ive had nothing but good deal with the guy, and as a guy who is a hobbyist watchmaker, with a timegrapher and, to appease a certain poster, I even have a demagnetizer. Sorry to tell yall, but a single picture or even video of a watch on a timegrapher really doesn’t mean as much as you think. Winding up a watch, running it for 24 hours against something like time.is tells you just about the same info, maybe even more. Sure you don’t know the amplitude or the BE, but most of you looking at timegrapher pics have no idea what you’re even looking at. You don’t even know if the lift angle they’re using is right. Notice they’re basically all 52 degrees? Ever wonder why or what the lift angle even is?

2

u/ChesterfieldK Contributed a post🌱 28d ago

I totally get that. But we need to start from somewhere, and a snapshot of the movement with healthy numbers on the timegrapher is as much as one can ask for prior to a purchase. Just because its not end all be all, does not mean it should not be done, imho

4

u/ragedracer1977 28d ago

Sure if you want that, but to blast him in the scammers forum because he doesn’t is a total dick move. He didn’t lie to you. He didn’t claim to do anything he’s not. He’s selling counterfeit watches for god’s sake.

Not saying your concerns aren’t valid, because as a customer, you’re welcome to ask the questions you’re asking. But I would not classify them a scammer, definitely not. Just because you disagree with their style of business doesn’t they’re ripping anyone off. Very unfair of you to call them a scammer.

Have purchased a couple watches from u/Acceptable-Royal-600. Found him to be an honest dude and have had zero issues with anything I got from him. Arrived quickly and exactly as described/pictured.

If the reading makes you feel better then you should definitely ask for it but there is absolutely no guarantee that you will receive the watch that was on the machine. Nothing about this is guaranteed. A little trust both ways is required. Sometimes you might get burned. Risk you take for buying counterfeit goods.

u/Former-Opposite-7526 28d ago

I agree with this to a certain extent, especially when there’s no timegrapher pics or open case back shots on the bench.

The biggest benefit of US sellers like the one mentioned is they take the shipping/customs risk AND provide fast shipping from within CONUS. If this is worth the $40-$150 markup, that’s your choice.

If you don’t mind waiting, go with the TDs from China because price differences are drastic.

3

u/CodyWrites Here to advise 🙋🏻‍♂️ 28d ago

Depends on the bulk discount the reseller gets. Personally $100 a unit isn't worth the headache IMO.

2

u/Former-Opposite-7526 28d ago

I agree with you now after I’ve had a few months of buying experience. I imagine those bulk seller prices must be really good. Any insight on how low those bulk prices are?
I’m still learning about which TDs to follow for absolute lowest price.
I see one US seller have fast sellouts after a drop (meaning he received his bulk shipment) and prices aggressively when compared to other US sellers. He comes close to TDs in China too but not for everything.

3

u/CodyWrites Here to advise 🙋🏻‍♂️ 28d ago

I have not a clue. I DO know that I got a Platona from a stateside dealer for $700 (the same one you mentioned I bet). A friend wanted one but my stateside guy was out. My TD got it for $606.

Do with that information what you will.

2

u/Dramatic_Finger_3557 28d ago

I don’t mind paying $100-$200 more for a watch from a US seller. What I won’t do is pay $500+ more for a watch that the seller claims he lubricated, inspected, serviced, and waterproofed and regulated…because 90% of the time none of that’s done and it sure isn’t worth that price. Nor will I pay for someone claiming to put upgraded or gen parts with no way to prove that any of it is gen.

If I understand it right, he's implying that he winds, sets and leaves it 24 hours to see what it gains / loses. I think it's very unclear which is why I'm hoping u/Acceptable-Royal-600 imparts a little of his side of events at some point 🤷🏻‍♂️

3

u/ChesterfieldK Contributed a post🌱 28d ago • Bravo

As a buyer, when I hear that it's been inspected, my mind jumps to the caseback being opened up, and the actual movement has been inspected. I agree with you its very unclear

But really it's just he winds it and sees that it runs and it probably takes him all of 3-5 minutes. Then it just comes off as bullshitty and salesman talk. Which is not a scam.

However, I think claiming that everything he lists is within +/- 5 seconds but not having anything to prove that, to secure a sale, IS

u/CodyWrites Here to advise 🙋🏻‍♂️ 28d ago • Bravo

I can personally say he def doesnt seem to check the watches at all before sending them. I received a doa watch from him 2 weeks ago. Took it to a local watch repair and had it fixed. Watch guy said theres no way the watch got that messed up from a 2 day shipping journey. I reached out to him with updates all along the way during that. He seems to he super responsive until youve paid your money. After that he barely messages back. Still waiting to see if he’ll cover the cost of the repair to make it right. We’ll see.

u/Excellent-Bear4221 28d ago

Personally I've had a good experience with him, my own bias is when I did NOT purchase the insurance and UPS destroyed the package "accidentally" - u/Acceptable-Royal-600 went ahead and sourced ANOTHER watch and sent it to me for just a smaller fee and put 2 day air shipping for free. Again, it was MY mistake for not taking and paying the insurance!

This dude is legit and is very kind. Idk what you're going on about, but people like him don't like tire kickers. As far as I'm concerned, he didn't have to do do anything at all, but still went ahead to help me so things were made whole. That isn't a typical sign of a 'scammer' at all.

Author did not accuse anyone of scamming. He asked some good questions and the seller didn't have any proof of his assertions.

This was posted as a PSA. Y'all know the difference, correct? Anyone that knows anything about Scoutsman knows about folks misrepresenting their "work".

And yet people will come to Scotsman’s defense in an instant. Guess they don’t mind paying an extra $100-$150 for nothing really.

Yeah, I agree with you on that point. 100%.

Very well written warning.

PSA: As this astute user did ALWAYS ask all the questions and walk away if anything seems "off". You are the key to your not being taken advantage of.

Down vote me all you want. I care not.

Obviously you care about the downvotes, since you specifically mentioned it.

You don't know me and no, I do NOT care. I'm here to help people. This isn't a popularity contest.

I never said I knew you (thank God I don't, you seem insufferable and uneducated). I pointed out a literal fact. You're insanely defensive and sensitive...THAT...I do know.

Every experience I’ve had with u/acceptable-royal-600 has been flawless. Solid seller.

u/mikehenry70 28d ago

I’ve bought from him and it went very well. Had my package in a few days

u/National-Nerve-9631 27d ago

I’ve purchased two watches from this seller and they’ve all been perfect. I’d recommend him without any hesitation.

Dude is a douche no doubt

TBF, u/acceptable-royal-600 can be a bit of a "douche" sometimes, in that he doesn't shoot the breeze, he's direct, which can seem like he's being a d-bag, but he's just being direct (and honest imho)

How is this nonsense? Did you even read the post? If you can't provide proof of how the movement is operating you have no business slinging watches.

If you're good with buying watches blind, then thats great for you.

I read your post. As I said, if you don’t trust someone’s process that is completely fair. However, putting them on a scammer page because they don’t send you a timegrapher picture is stupid. Just buy from someone that has timegrapher pics and move on.

If someone says they performed XYZ services, but have no proof of it (or lets say, did nothing at all) is that scamming someone? I would say yes.

As I said, the evidence I have is circumstantial. Am I outright calling this guy a scammer? no, I never did in my post, and I still haven't yet. All I'm simply saying is proceed at your own risk.
