Who should I buy from? JTime, Lawrence or Kuvarsit

[troubles_reading_time 0]

This will be my first purchase so I'd appreciate any help/advice!

Looking to buy: Rolex Datejust, Oystersteel & Everose gold, Black dial, diamond markers but in 31mm instead.  Photo.

I've contacted 3 TD sellers: JTime, Lawrence & Kuvarsit 

JTime: "kinda" 1:1.  $368 + shipping. JTime has great reviews on r/reptime 

Lawrence: Rosegold models have to be installed (assembled?). $285 + shipping. Some people on r/reptime have received poorly made watches from Lawrence so that's a little off putting for me. Not sure how I feel about ordering a watch from him that furthers require installation. 

Kuvarsit: $368 + shipping. Says he does not have photo of the exact watch I'm requesting but he has access to it. Will send QC photos after payment.

Is there a specific seller who I should order this watch from? Or are they more or less the same, with the same access to the factories that manufacture rep watches?

Thanks in advance!

JTime isn't a TD here so if it goes south you're shit outta luck. All dealers can get the same stuff so send a link of what you want to the trusted dealer of your choice and order away.

Having not even bought from Kuvarsit yet, I’ve done enough reading to say you should go Kuvarsit.

 I have bought from others including Jtime recently who is excellent, but he’s from another forum. 

Since you’re on rwg, I believe Kuvarsit is the answer you’re looking for. And one I will try later myself with much confidence.

Yes I think I am leaning towards Kuvarsit. 
Because the size itself (31mm) is quite small, I think even if the letter or something inside the face/dial is "off", it won't be that noticeable?

They all get the same watches if you tell them which factory you want it from. The price difference suggests Lawrence is talking about a different factory watch.

You get QC pics to accept or deny so if there’s a glaring mistake on the particular watch because the factory worker was having a bad day you just ask for another one. You need to know the flaws on the particular watch you order so you know if it was a bad day at the factory or if they’re all like that.

Well, since you asked- NOT ME.

Recent developments & your response to my fellow staff members have left me far from impressed. I won't say more now but suggest you re-read and action the correspondence already on your desk.

Expand your TD choice a little bit more towards those with female names.

Yeah.... MaryJane....

[Thommo82 1,397]

My all time favourite TD is @Mary Watch.

I’ve never even looked at her/his website. I’ve known the watch I want to get, as you do, emailed Mary with details, agreed on a price, paid, received QC pics, and have never found a fault I wasn’t already aware of with any particular model. 

Mary has gone beyond my expectations on a couple of occasions and resolved shipping issues that were out of her control. 

Very good and trustworthy TD who I totally recommend.

Can't go far wrong than @Mary Watch  Fantastic TD.

[Pseudorep 3]

Tim @Fat Panda is also a great TD (who doesn't get the recognition he should do). He's very competitive on price (even more so than KW and Mary) and in my opinion provides the best QC photos/video out of any TD.

Haha yeah, silly how he wasn't even in my top 3 choices at the beginning.

He was the only TD with the watch in stock.

Everyone else had to either order it in or install the black dial into a TT setting. 

Either way, this is my first order and it will be an eye opener (hopefully in good way).

Fingers crossed!

That's why you chose him? Oh dear.

So presumably he immediately sent you QC pics if he had it in stock.....

I doubt he lied about that just to get your money. 

Have you had QC yet?
