RWI vs RepGeek compares two replica watch forums that each keep their own trusted dealer list. The reptime.help glossary describes RWI (Replica Watch Info) as one of the largest and oldest forums, with strict vetting of dealers, and RepGeek (Replica Watch Geek) as a major forum with its own dealer list and an active community. A dealer that is trusted on one list is not automatically trusted on the other.
RWI vs RepGeek: what we could verify
| RWI | RepGeek | |
|---|---|---|
| Address | forum.replica-watch.info | repgeek.com |
| Trusted dealer list | Yes, with strict vetting (reptime.help) | Yes (reptime.help) |
| Size, October 14, 2026 | Not shown to us: the forum showed a security check page | 358,555 threads, 3,319,237 messages and 41,318 members, from its own statistics |
| Status note, October 2026 | Still cited by r/RepTime members in 2026 threads | A notice welcomed members back after downtime and an upgrade |
How to use both lists
- Find your dealer on a forum list from a link you trust. The r/RepTime wiki warns: "Do not under any circumstances Google a TD, use the forum links provided only!"
- Join the forum that lists your dealer before you pay, so that you can use its moderation if something goes wrong.
- Read the newest threads about the dealer first. Old threads can describe a factory or a dealer that has changed.
- Compare the dealer's written terms (warranty, returns, customs replacement) before you pay. The r/RepTime wiki says trusted dealers "almost all offer a customs guarantee".
