quick978 0 Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Hi all, I have been a member of the site for about 8 days now, and after rushing in and just wanting to ''buy a watch'' i was told to slow down & take my time, read on the wealth of knowledge that is available on this site, and don't go mad like a fool, well, 'thanks for the advice guys' i think i would of got ripped off otherwise or ended up with something i wasn't happy with. after having some trouble sourcing the watch i was hunting i have decided to get something else, same model just different color, i ordered it from http://www.torobravos2013.com/ and the whole episode seemed rather painless, his answers were very swift & QC pics were good, i just hope they are an honest site & deliver me a quality rep, from the homework i have done on here, i am quite happy that they will ''i'll keep you all posted on that'' i went for this WATCH in Black, Wanted Yellow but it was very hard to find ''unless i wanted a cheapo'' & i seemed to trust this site. Thanks to Del, Elp9 who have helped me on my journey. I am already thinking of what to get next & this one hasn't even left China yet ha ha... Cheers RWG Quick Edited November 5, 2013 by quick978 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seclark007 11 Posted November 4, 2013 Quick, The SO is a pretty popular rep. You'll be pleased with the results, no doubt. Now just stop thinking about it....don't check tracking every day....take a chill pill and relax. Everything should work out with no trouble. There's no need to be scared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soopah Spy 0 Posted November 4, 2013 Best advice we can give is, "Do something else for a while, and put the incoming watch out of your mind." Maybe look for your next one? I normally get mine one at a time, so that I can be on the hunt for a new design while I'm waiting for the one I ordered to come in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boudz 0 Posted November 4, 2013 You're going to be fine, the watch will arrive and you will love it and eventually you will buy another watch and then another and another until you become broke and get kicked out of your house because your landlord won't accept a replica TAG with Swiss ETA movement as a forum of currency.

Martinjogs 0 Posted November 4, 2013 Excellent choice of watch for your first venture! It will arrive, after an agonising wait, and once you see and feel the quality of the watch first hand you will be doomed forever, welcome to RWG! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quick978 0 Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Thanks a lot guys, your words are very kind and put me at ease, the only reason I put scared, well (aprencive) would of been a better word, is because I have given someone I don't know in China £150 of my hard earned cheese, but I'm sure from what I've read and what you guys have said that I will be ok, I will take the advice and not check the tracking every 5 mins, I'll look every 10 (ha ha) In all serious guys thanks for the reassurance and thanks RWG for the advice. In all seriousness though, how do you guys deal with that inevatable question? "Is it real"? Edited November 4, 2013 by quick978 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onionbag 1 Posted November 4, 2013 Just tell 'em..........Naw, it's a fuckin' tattoo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markeym3 2 Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) The old "is it real " question ,,, this has been talked about many times ,, I have never been asked only by friends ,, but in general nobody questions me ,,, also if it looks like you could afford it then no problem , I mean if you are a little scumbag wearing a submariner then its probably going to be a rep.. Cheers But if my mates ask then I say yes it tells the time and everything .... Edited November 4, 2013 by markeym3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Libertatia 0 Posted November 4, 2013 Nice, this will most likely be my next order.... I recently got a £65 parking fine though, so no watches this month as punishment for my stupidity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E-man82 0 Posted November 5, 2013 welcome from the US, I too ordered a watch shortly after coming on board, its really addictive with all the peer pressure from 40K+ members Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elp 26 Posted November 6, 2013 Well done for doing your research and taking the plunge. You will have stomach flutters until it arrives, that's inevitable, just remember we've all gone through it, and we are still here and keep buying even more reps ... upon reflection that did not sound very clever, did it? You'll be fine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kime 0 Posted November 6, 2013 Nice, that scared feeling... that will become an addition ! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digital_sound 0 Posted November 6, 2013 Newbie here too... I just purchased my first TWO watches from Trusty Times. Happy to say I've learned a lot from this site and read (and RE-read) many post about the respected dealers. So I'm waiting with patience and will post my new arrivals when they ------> "Arrive" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberto 24 Posted November 6, 2013 Well congratulations on doing your homework before taking the plunge. I just received a watch from Toro and I'm delighted with it. Relax and be patient with the wait.. it'll be worth it when you're sporting it on your wrist.. and that won't be long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quick978 0 Posted November 9, 2013 Thanks for all your kind words guys & a special thanks to Elp9. I got it & have posted some pics up HERE The delivery was so quick 4days unfortunately the site has gone down now, i wanted to order another one too Quick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Stubbs 0 Posted November 9, 2013 Good god, only FOUR DAYS ?!? Are you Toro's neighbour? When I order a watch it takes four WEEKS. You're going to miss out on all of the addictive anxiety this hobby/sport has to offer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
