Here in the US I had one that said that for two weeks. No status update, then one day it magically shows up while it still showed a 1000 miles away. Good stuff... I just figure if I haven't seen it for a month then I'll start to worry.
While I can only say I've also had good experiences from the Cartel... Well sometimes not so good up front but always corrected and resolved. I pay for this. I know I'm paying for this because I know where I can find the same watch for cheaper from other board listed dealers. Often times I'm ordering for a friend and I don't want to chance anything. Now I'm wondering how many of those submariners have swinese movements? How much insurance was I really buying?
My point to all this is most people don't have the means to track down the swinese movement. Often times it doesn't fail until allot later leaving us a$$ed out. Think about all the money that's saved if only one out of every ten buyers actually complains. It's cost effective to service the crap out of the one person, send them whatever to keep them quiet. Make the profit on the other easy marks. Here in the US contractors have done this for years. They use subpar building materials. Payoff inspectors. When stuff eventually has an issue it's long after the fact. In the small percentage they do get caught they simply fix the problem no questions asked. At the end of the day they are still money ahead. This is the same thing I feel the cartel is doing.
Nice GMT! I didn't realize how nice of a watch it was until seeing your pictures. Rep's are wonderful for test driving. I never knew how much I like Rolex's until I test drove a sub. Now I'm counting the days until I can afford to pull the trigger on a gen.
Welcome Mark,
Rep's are like Klondike bars. Once you start you can't stop.
I'm down in Gilroy and haven't started looking for a REP friendly service yet. I'm still in acquisition mode here. IF you guys run across somebody please PM me the info and I'll do likewise.
Cheers
Anytime not spent on them is too much time. Well time spent shopping for LV or Gucci they always seem happy with. Anyhow they'll be patient for a little bit then they start pouting like a five year old. They are all sisters.
Anyhow I find it funny as I look at some of these HOT pics how hot they look to us. It's to bad they wear us down so bad that we don't even want to touch them at the end of the relationship. Shot once I'm out I don't even care who else happens to be shagging them. "glad it's you and not me buddy".
GREAT THREAD!! Made my afternoon.
And so goes another instance of one of the most popular question's on the board. I'm not actually sure an answer exists to your question. I've read some folks like the Ferrari 008 for it's accuracy?? I don't know much about that though. My suggestion would be to search up on PAM's and pick something you enjoy. Also read this, good stuff. Search around, lots of good information.

I hear you on that. Can't stop looking - searching for info and purchasing. I'm a total noob and now have four reps. Three bought off RWG. By the way the three off RWG exceeded all expectations and the forth from _____ slightly disappointed me.
RWG:3 points
Cartel: 1/2 a point
Game over, RWG wins.
