RepTime & RepTimeQC built for sellers, not buyers

RepTime and RepTimeQC seem set up to benefit the sellers – and here’s why.

I ordered a VSF Yachtmaster, and the first QC landed last week. There were slight SEL gaps, but the real issue was the timegrapher readings bouncing all over the place. So, I did what you’re supposed to – posted it on RepTimeQC, followed the steps, and, as expected, a few people dropped the usual “green light” comments. Checked their accounts – and, , all they do is hand out green lights. Nothing else. Feels dodgy.

Now, I know there are genuine helpers on RTQC who actually give solid feedback – I’m not lumping everyone into one here.

Got the second QC today. Same SEL gaps, plus misalignment this time. I messaged the seller on WhatsApp, but he brushed it off, said it was “perfectly fine”, and told me to post it on RTQC again.

So, I did. Followed the rules. Commented on my own post asking for proper feedback and flagged the dodgy GLs. Five minutes later – deleted. The mod claimed I’d posted it twice and hadn’t followed instructions – neither was true. He literally told me to post it again.

So, I did. Sixty seconds later – gone. This time, I get, “You’ve got enough info to make your decision.”

The whole thing feels off.

I’ve bought from two different trusted sellers before. One was smooth. The other I should’ve checked the QC more carefully – that was on me. But yeah, I went back to that same seller for the Yachtmaster because his prices were lower – and he’s a TD. Every single QC since has been absolute pants.

Now I’m stuck chasing a refund, and honestly I can’t even be assed to order another watch.

And knowing how this place works, the mod will probably delete this post too – and I’ll get shot down for it.

Might just grab a Casio and call it a day.

P.S. Kinda wondering how much TDs pay to be on that guide.
