Welcome to RepTime.Forum!
Our community is built on mutual respect, shared passion for horology, and helpful collaboration. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting your watch journey, these guidelines ensure everyone has a positive experience. Breaking these rules may result in warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans depending on severity.
Be Respectful and Civil
Treat all members with respect regardless of their experience level, watch preferences, or budget. Personal attacks, harassment, discriminatory language, and hostile behavior will not be tolerated. Healthy debate is encouraged, but keep it constructive and respectful.
- Insulting someone's watch choice or calling them names
- Mocking members for their budget or collection size
- Using discriminatory or hateful language
- Personal attacks in disagreements about brands or movements
First offense: Warning. Repeated offenses: Permanent ban.
No Spam or Self-Promotion
Do not post spam, advertisements, or excessive self-promotion. This includes affiliate links, referral codes, whatsapp numbers, non-TD vendors, or websites without prior approval from moderators. No indirect self-promotion of a non-TD vendor. Genuine contributions to discussions are welcome, but promotional content must be limited.
- Sharing your blog post in relevant discussions
- Answering questions with helpful resources
- Participating genuinely before sharing your content
- Posting "Check out my YouTube channel!" without context
- Dropping affiliate links in every comment
- Creating multiple accounts to promote your business, we see you and we'll ban you.
No creating drama/Don't be a jerk
No creating unnecessary drama or heckling in the comment section. This forum was created to be a friendly community that welcomes everyone regardless of knowledge and expertise. Do not heckle in the comment section as a self-proclaimed replica watch expert. We want to keep a friendly and helpful vibe here. We welcome anyone to add their genuine opinion but not with condescending statements or questions. If someone needs help be genuine and helpful. That's what this forum is for. Anyone seen creating unnessary drama will be given two warnings and then a permanent ban.
- Genuine opinions. For example "I'm not a fan of Richard Mille but I can see why people like their watches, it's just not for me"
- Answering questions with helpful resources
- Heckling in the comment section. For example: "Your watch is ugly! You made a dumb choice!"
- Making condescending statements to make a user feel stupid.
Read Buy & Selling Rules
If you plan on buying and/or selling please read and understand the buying and selling rules.
Use Appropriate Post Flairs
Always select the correct flair for your post. This helps members find content they're interested in and keeps the community organized. Available flairs include: Collection, Question, Discussion, News, Review, Guide, Wrist Check, and more.
- Collection: Posts showing your watches or full collection
- Question: Asking for advice, recommendations, or information
- Discussion: Open-ended topics for community conversation
- News: Watch industry news and announcements
- Review: Detailed reviews of watches you own or have handled
Quality Content & Effort
Put effort into your posts and comments. When posting your watch, include context, story, or meaningful information.
- Clear photos with good lighting
- Context about the watch (model, why you bought it, impressions)
- Personal stories or experiences
- Detailed questions that show you've done basic research
Respect Privacy & Personal Information
Do not share personal information about yourself or others, including real names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, or social media accounts without explicit consent. Do not dox or attempt to identify community members. Respect everyone's right to privacy.
Immediate permanent ban for doxxing or sharing personal information maliciously.
No Off-Topic Political or Religious Discussions
Keep discussions focused on replica watches and horology. While watches can touch on politics (e.g., Swiss neutrality, trade policies), avoid divisive political or religious debates unrelated to watches. This is a space for watch enthusiasts of all backgrounds.
Listen to Administration
The Administrators are volunteers working to keep this community healthy, enjoyable and free from spam and scams. If a moderator asks you to stop a behavior, edit a post, or provides guidance, please comply. Arguing with administration, evading bans with alternate accounts, or harassment will result in permanent bans.
- Send a polite message to administation explaining your perspective
- Provide context or clarification if there was a misunderstanding
- Accept the decision gracefully even if you disagree
- Do not create posts complaining about moderation
