First off, let’s get one thing straight: we’re talkin’ replicas here, not the real deal. If you’re lookin’ for a genuine Rolex, you’re in the wrong neighborhood. Trusty Time, run by a guy named Andrew (apparently), is a well-known name in the rep game. You see their name pop up all the time on forums like RepTime.
Now, from what I’ve gathered from the internet chatter, things are, shall we say, *variable*. Some folks are over the moon. One dude got a NOOB V9 Submariner and was “voll zufrieden” (totally satisfied, for those who don’t sprechen sie Deutsch). Another was stoked about their Daytona and Skydweller order, already planning to swap the band for some fancy sharkskin. Sounds bougie, right?
Then there’s the QC (quality control) pics. Trusty Time *says* 4-12 days. But uhhh, yeah, don’t hold your breath. Patience is key, apparently. One person noted it took way longer than that. So, if you’re the impatient type, maybe grab a stress ball or something. Just sayin’.
Quality-wise, it seems like it depends on the factory the watch comes from. People mention ZF, GMF, and KSF as sources, and some get watches that look pretty damn good. I mean, for a fake, you know? But, let’s be real, it’s still a fake. Don’t expect it to hold up to a real Rolex under a jeweler’s loupe.
Shipping seems pretty decent, from what I’ve read. People aren’t complaining too much about that part. But remember, customs can be a beast. It’s always a gamble with replicas.
Honestly, from my perspective, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. You *might* get an awesome watch that looks and feels great. You *might* have to wait forever for QC pics and then get something that isn’t quite what you expected. You’re basically rolling the dice, TBH.
Would I buy from Trusty Time? I dunno. Maybe. If I was really itching for a watch I couldn’t afford, and I was willing to accept the risks, then yeah, maybe. But I’d go in with my eyes wide open, knowing that it’s not gonna be perfect, and I might have to jump through some hoops to get what I want.
