GingerApple 7,305 Posted May 25, 2020 All the TDs have access to the same watches (with a few exceptions). So if the best Monaco is made by (for example) Noob Factory, you could just go to your TD of choice and tell them you want the Noob Monaco. Choosing the correct/best version is the hard part - that takes a bit of research. I've no idea who even makes the Monaco, let alone the best Monaco as square watches aren't my thing, but the info will be out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the TDs source the same watch from the factory.. go through the list & pick the one you like.. shoot them a email (Send them photo of your preferred watch - try mention your from RWG with your name I think it helps.. then it’s just the process to follow) do plenty of reading & research of where your hard earned money will be going to. Find that & read it helped me: All the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intresting 21,712 Posted May 25, 2020 Welcome MrConserve. Whatever flavoured jam you are after, the TDs will try their best to get it for you. Might pay to read the reviews of the TDs so you can choose the most suitable one. Be warned, it will get expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, yes I already saw the prices from some of the td, but for the monaco the price seems a bit lower than many other models. 19 minutes ago, PostMaster said: All the TDs source the same watch from the factory.. go through the list & pick the one you like.. shoot them a email (Send them photo of your preferred watch - try mention your from RWG with your name I think it helps.. then it’s just the process to follow) do plenty of reading & research of where your hard earned money will be going to.
