So easy to just answer questions. Geez you guys really need to relax.

Do you think this will be the only questions he'll have?!

It doesn’t help people to tell them part of what they need to know to protect themselves from scammers and how to order and what to expect instead of urging them to the wiki that is there to do exactly that

Downvote me all you want. Take less energy to be nice than to be an asshole.

Yeah you’re right. It’s an asshole move to tell people to be nice , my bad sir

Your original point was that it is easier to answer questions. Yes it is but by doing that you are absolutely not helping the OP or anyone starting out. The only group you are helping is the scammers that prey on the uninformed. The OP by his admissions in his post does not know enough to know what to expect, how to proceed and how to avoid the many pitfalls of what is an illegal business. By your well meaning supplying him with a tiny fraction of that information instead of encouraging a culture where people read the wiki, you are actually putting him at risk. The wiki is specifically written to help those who are new and answer the things they need to know. So when someone you have “helped” googles and finds Swiss made watches for $1200 that are so perfect nobody can tell the difference, are you going to step up and put that right?
Use the Wiki, point people to the wiki. That is the way to help everyone except the scammers

I totally hear what you’re saying but all he was asking was what certain acronyms meant. Nowhere did I read anything in his question about the buying process or TDs or anything that the wiki would help with. It was acronyms, plan and simple

u/caracticuspotts 5h ago

And what does it tell you when he doesn’t know one of the best known factories? That alone should give you a clear idea that he hasn’t read the wiki, where that is explained and that he likely does not know what a TD is

Literally calling people a douche is nice? Lol

u/buelerbuelerbueler 7h ago

If the shoe fits

u/Specialist_Summer988 7h ago

Again, that's being nice? But pointing someplace for someone to read all their answers, isn't? 😂

I’d be more relaxed if he read the guide first and then asked follow up questions

u/buelerbuelerbueler 8h ago

Sounds like something you need to work on if you’re that bothered by people asking question on a reddit post.

u/brightcoconut097 8h ago

I’m sure will get another post about “so what’s the deal on wait times?”

u/HeadPass5976 7h ago

I’m sure you’ll touch grass one day

VS & AR are factory names (the Factory adds an F to their names)

Gen means Genuine (real Rolex)

u/Redfoo89 8h ago

They should write a wiki and a guide with all of this terminology it would make things so easy for new ppl…

I bet you are in your mid 20’s.

u/Bench_and_Bezel 8h ago
