I don't mind paying couple of hundred dollars for a replica watch that is of good quality but in the past year my 2824 Omega PO with correct markings, AR etc., has broken on me. Cost of the watch $240, price to send/receive to be fixed $60 bucks. It's broken again (Stem and Crown has come completely out) and a new problem has emerged... one of the markers on the dial has come unglued. Now the seller won't even answer my emails. I don't mind paying for the watch but I do mind paying for a watch that's a POS that's not going to go the distance (not even a year).
On the flip side I purchased a BR-03-92 with blue markers for $147 and it works fabulous, I also paid $158 for an IWC FA Jones with Blue markers and it purrs like a kitten. 2 of the best watches I've ever owned. I'll pay for quality but not crap.
