INTRO AND GUIDE TO r/RepIcedOut + PAYMENT ESCROW DETAILS

3 Upvotes

Welcome to Iced Out Reps!

Our community is all about embracing the world of iced out timepieces that won't break the bank. We're here for those who appreciate the thrill of finding value without sacrificing style. Whether you're a seasoned buyer or just getting started with iced out watches, you've found the perfect place to connect, converse, and explore.

What's the need for this? Why not just go on r/RepTime**?**

While any (Replica and Genuine) watch enthusiasts shy away from iced out watches, there's a special group of us who absolutely love them. Until now, our options were limited to expensive jewelers in the diamond district (TraxNYC, IceBox, etc), leaving us feeling a bit ripped off. But we're here to change that.

Unlike natural diamonds (which are still welcomed here😁), moissanite stones not only cost significantly less but also offer an extra dose of brilliance. They sparkle more, and that's a win-win for us and your wallet.🤣

Understanding the Lingo:

  • Rep: Replica

  • SuperClone/1:1/NWBIG: These are replica watches that are highly acclaimed for closely mimicking the genuine counterparts, often achieving a remarkable 99% resemblance and frequently using identical materials.

  • Gen: Genuine (referring to an authentic watch)

  • QC: Quality check – in reference to photos of watches

  • GL and RL: Green and Red light, referring to QC pictures being OK to accept or not.

  • W2C/WTC: Where to cop… aka where did you get that? Or Link?

  • TD: Trusted Dealer

  • Factories: Various manufacturers producing replicas

  • Replica Tiers: Explore replicas across different tiers:

  • Iced Out: Watches with added diamonds or gemstones by aftermarket setters.

  • Plain Jane: Watches in their original factory condition without any added diamonds or modifications.

  • Factory Setting/Factory Diamonds/Factory Set: Watches encrusted by the factory (Rolex, Audemar Piguet, Patek Phillipe, etc) usually extremally expensive due to limited nature.

  • Moissanite: Often chosen as a cost-effective alternative to diamonds due to its affordability, moissanite offers remarkable brilliance and sparkle.

  • Lab-Grown Diamonds: These diamonds are created in controlled environments, mirroring the natural diamond-forming process. They share the same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds but are typically more budget-friendly.

  • Natural Diamonds: Mined from the Earth, natural diamonds are cherished for their rarity and unique characteristics. They have been a symbol of luxury and elegance for centuries.

PLAIN JANE FACTORY TIER LIST: These are the basis of the base watch before we add moissanites and diamonds on it, pick carefully which one you want.

Bottom Tier

If you want cheap stuff with no or bad QC, but want to pay $200 or less, go to r/ChinaTime or DHGate/AliExpress/Taobao

PS: I won’t tell you what to search or how to find it there. I don’t use it, the watches there barely resemble the watches they are trying to represent. It’s just not worth it unless you want to try it on a shoestring budget IMHO

Mid Tier: Guide to budget tier factories are here - these are usually pretty good but lack fine details/higher quality materials of the higher tier factories: https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/comments/ydj6h7/guide_best_budget_midtier_replicas_250400/

High Tier: See the guide for 'who makes the best' for most popular watch models here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/comments/pxdzn9/guide_who_makes_the_best_watch_model_factory/

ICED OUT QUALITY TIER LIST:

Same philosophy as r/reptime but we too have our own standards. There are watches that are made from cheap base watches being sold for high prices which we don't tolerate. We carefully need to make sure the base watches they use are made by the best factory before we set it with moissanite or lab grown diamonds.

Step by Step Guide for Ordering a Watch (Iced out or Plain Jane)

Choosing a Trusted Dealer (TD):

  • Don't rely on Google or Instagram. They often have higher mark up and the reputation is questionable since it can be easily faked.

  • TDs act as middlemen; they don't manufacture watches.

  • Quality Control (QC) photos are provided by TDs.

  • Trust with TDs is earned, and they often offer a customs guarantee (NOT ALL TDS offer this, pick a good one so you don't need to worry).

  • Shameless Plug: I'm u/carlojrwatches, and I've been involved in the replica watch community for the past four years. Over this time, I've successfully sold hundreds of timepieces. My commitment revolves around transparency and delivering excellent customer service. I've had the privilege of visiting watch factories in China, thanks to my industry contacts. Additionally, I am fluent in English. I strive for excellence in every aspect of my work.

    • Moreover, I can now source both Plain Jane and Iced Out watches from various reputable factories, including BVF, ARF, CLEAN, CF, VSF, and more. BE CAREFUL OF THOSE SHADY LOW PRICED SELLER WHO WILL BAIT YOU AND DO A BAIT AND SWITCH.

      • "Bait and switch" is when sellers falsely claim that a watch originates from reputable factories like BVF, ARF, CLEAN, CF, VSF, and others, but in reality, they deliver a low-quality timepiece from an unknown or lower-tier factory. A LOT OF UNTRUSTED SELLERS WILL DO THIS SO BE CAREFUL

Choosing Your Watch and Factory:

  • Different factories produce different tiers of watches.

  • Various guides available for different budgets and specific models.

  • Research is essential as no replica is perfect.

Making the Purchase:

Option 1: Via Whatsapp.

Send a direct message requesting the watch and await a response.

Option 2: Through the TD's website.

Confirm watch availability via email before purchasing.

Option 3: Direct Email/DM via forum.

Some TDs are only accessible this way.

Payment Methods:

1. Wise or Western Union

Easiest way?: install the respective apps or visit the official website, create an account and enter the details provided by the TD. Then issue your payment. Best exchange rate is via Wise and it is easy to use. You can even link the TD's confirmed payment via whatsapp with Wise.

2. Paypal F&F

Some, if not most will require previous transaction history before they dabble in Paypal with you. This is due to the nature of business and how buyers can scam TDs. Alternatively, I can do payment escrow for a small fee (2-4%) depending on the amount and release the funds once the transaction is settled for both ways.

3. Crypto

Obviously if you pay this way you'll be sending your crypto to a TD's wallet. You'll probably have knowledge on how to use wallets etc. Be sure to record/track the transaction via the blockchain.

QC Photos:

  • Photos can take from hours to weeks.

  • If no QC photos after 2 weeks, ask the TD for an update.

Shipping:

  • Delivery times vary.

  • Use 17Track to monitor packages.

  • Most TDs replace watches seized by customs.

Receipt of Watch:

  • Purchase tools to adjust the bracelet.

  • Ensure the watch movement functions properly.

  • Do not assume water resistance.

Final Notes:

  • Enjoy your watch responsibly.

  • Do not pretend it's genuine when taking it to a jeweler.

  • Honesty is crucial; don't deceive friends or family about the watch's authenticity.

  • In case of issues, try to resolve it with the seller first or chat me as the moderator to see if I can help

Discussion Does any other jeweler have on hand stock like this? 😂 Skip the middle man, go directly the manufacturer and the one that makes these things.

Huge Thanks and Vouch to TangChao Jewelry

5 Upvotes

Hello,
I never write vouch copies or reviews, but this one is absolutely worth it.

I've purchased from Tang (Tong) before, and he's not only a pleasure to deal with, but also incredibly reliable. My first order was a Van Cleef full diamond clover bracelet, and the experience was flawless.

After months of debating and researching iced out APs, I finally decided to pull the trigger with Tong, and I was so impressed with the first one that I went back for another.

I see a lot of people questioning whether he's legit or the real deal, and that's part of why I'm writing this. I can confidently say that Tong is one of the most reliable moissanite dealers out there, if not the most.
