What buyers report on Reddit

May 2026 (u/That_Asian_Bloke, r/RepTime): Reg is "a highly respected independent seller on RG and is based in the UK", who usually sells only with stock in hand; bank transfer is "the norm". Another buyer in the same thread (u/kpsingh8) reported: "Got a Daytona from him.. good comms"

December 2024 (u/jacob8875, r/RepTime): "Old school TD, you will be good. Don't hear too much over here about Naarika, but RWI is a different story." A second commenter reported a seamless experience and noted the watch was shipped from Thailand.

December 2022 (u/lethallyinjected, r/RepTime): The buyer described Reg as "great to deal with" and said they could not see anything shady about the dealer. The buyer was considering a higher-end model.

September 2022 (u/andrebravado, r/RepTime): The buyer posted photos of a Milgauss and described it as looking great. Comments noted that the gallery showed extensive QC photos compared to some other dealers.

Before you order

  • Browse the gallery at narikaa.smugmug.com and save screenshots of the specific listing before you contact the dealer.
  • Contact the dealer through the gallery or through the RWI forum thread. The trusted dealer list does not provide an email address.
  • Bank transfer is the reported payment method. Confirm terms in writing before you pay.
  • Request QC photos of your specific watch before it ships, even if the gallery shows stock photos.
  • Pay the way the r/RepTime wiki suggests: it lists Wise or Western Union, and it advises against card payments unless you use a one-time card number.
  • Post in an active RWI thread to ask for current contact details and recent buyer reports.
