What buyers report on Reddit
October 2026: still active, use Telegram or email
On October 7, 2026, a buyer asked whether TheOneWatches was still operational after receiving no reply. Multiple buyers confirmed the dealer was active. u/Cultural-Match8868 writes: "He's on telegram now, I ordered from him last month and everything went smooth. sometimes takes a day or two to respond but he always come back. just make sure you got the right username, lot of fake accounts going around." u/jaysonic0215 adds: "I've been communicating with him via email for the past week (even with the holiday)." (r/RepTime, October 7, 2026.)
July 2026: smooth first purchase, 2-week delivery
u/abanares ordered an ARF 16610 Sub from Steve. The buyer reports: "First rep purchase and it was a smooth and seamless transaction. QC took two days to get photos and once I GL it only took 2 weeks to get the package in the mail." The buyer adds they will order again (r/RepTime, July 2, 2026).
April 2026: Sub QC, minor issues within tolerance
u/Acrobatic-Fill-4536 ordered a Clean Sub 126610LV for $529 including shipping. A community reviewer noted a slightly low date window and a small bezel rotation, both described as within tolerance (r/RepTimeQC, April 17, 2026).
October 2025: communication praised, prices noted higher
u/stanimal42, who ordered from seven trusted dealers, writes: "Steve, on the other hand has a team that is very communicative. I would probably use him more if the prices were better." The buyer adds: "Worth the money if you are a newbie and a bit hesitant to take the plunge." Another buyer, u/heyarkay, writes: "I found Trusty Time to be cheap, responsive, and fast." (Note: that comment was about a different dealer in the same thread.) u/stanimal42 also says: "You can pester them and they will respond to just about every question about your order." (r/RepTime, October 13, 2025.)
January 2025: Panerai PAM1365, crystal issue noted
u/DontEvenWithMe1 ordered a VSF Panerai PAM1365 BiTempo. The buyer reports: "The service and shipping I received from Steve at TheOneWatches was great and why I'll buy from there again." A defect was noted: "The crystal is not seated evenly all the way around." The buyer sent a note to Steve to pass to the factory (r/RepTime, January 19, 2025).
Before you order
- Confirm the exact domain and username before payment. The trusted dealer list notes the domain varies by forum. Fake accounts exist, per a buyer report from October 2026.
- Use the email [email protected] or the Telegram channel to reach the dealer.
- Request QC photos of the specific watch before you approve shipment.
- 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.
- Ask for the fault process in writing before you send funds.
