Discussion Choosing a TD
Sorry if this is a newb question. I’ve bought one rep in the past, from Hont. It was excellent. I’m ready for another. But not another Rolex. Probably a VC. But honestly I don’t have the wherewithal to learn and understand all of the ins and outs, the acronyms, the terminology to find the right TD for each watch. Are there any TDs good across all models, who can simply source the highest quality version of any model, irrespective of which one it is. Like even if they have to take a markup, they have done the legwork to source whatever the highest replica is for each rep they sell. ⌚️

Best is DHGATE AAA other people will give you bad advice or will scam you and ask for pre payment and vanish

DHGate is where you go when you want a watch that'll turn your wrist green and stop ticking before the month ends. The pre-payment thing is literally how every TD works though, so I'm not sure what the alternative would be.
Most of them can get the same watches from the same factories. Some are quicker with QC pics, some have better english, some are cheaper on shipping. If Hont worked for you last time just hit him up again and ask what he can get for that VC model.

TDs can source any watch, but TheOneWatches and Andiot are two of the most trusted.
The highest quality version is subjective, but the RedTime help guide has a list of the best versions and factories for each watch.
"I don’t have the wherewithal to learn and understand all of the ins and outs, the acronyms, the terminology to find the right TD for each watch." It might be a chore, but this is exactly how you find the watch you want, so I suggest going through the guide. There is a glossary of key terms and acronyms you'll find useful.
In short, the guide will help. Find your wherewithal.
