That looks fantastic guys. So eurotimez will garauntee postage for $25.00. Anyone know the policy for a watch sent back to chriss. As in my position. Ive sent my 6.75 back to China. The garuantee only appears to apply one way. from the dealer to me. not visa versa?

Hi all. Been lurking for a while in particular at rwg1. Came here in the exodus. Ordered a few reps for my 1st order. 2 were great (Rolex Submariner and Tag Monaco) 1 needed sending back to china. (6.75 Breitling) Now these things happen I know. I researched the main recomended dealers and their respective usp's. (Unique selling points) Narrowed it down the eurotimez and Josh. I liked eurotimez but the website put me off a bit although I loved the idea of chriss's qc. Went with josh in the end. Now it wasnt till I sent the watch back that I started reading threads on customs. And It dawned on me that there was a real chance you could lose your watch and your money. Ok a small chance but a chance all the same. This has got me thinking about the dealers and my future orders and how I percieve the whole rep thang. Patience is something I now understand is something that needs to be shown if you are going to get involved in the rep business. Thats fine. Considering the quality of the watches I think they are worth waiting for. However something that would put me out of the game straight away would be losing a returned watch at customs and my money. Waiting a couple of months for a good rep is something I am prepared to do. Spending $400 dollars on zip is not. Hence this thread: Chriss's qc policy - Fantastic. Josh's communication - Fantastic. Sadly these usp's become useless if you lose your watch at customs. Now is there a dealer that would replace your watch if you lost it? Ok proof would be needed to stop the players but if it is such a rare occurance I think the dealer that was willing to do this would secure himself some fine custom. I will be honest, the thought of losing my watch at customs has taken all the pleasure out of the experience. And for the purists out there who have told me its part of the game and if I am not willing to take the risk then I should buy a gen, I say Thanks for the advice but at the moment I cant afford a gen 6.75. Am I so bad for not wanting to throw $400 down the drain? If there are any dealers out there that do offer this then who are you? I mean a dealer that is willing to offer It as a matter of course not just to long term buyers that have spent a lot. As an example I am a window cleaner. My customers send payment through the post. If a customers payment was lost and they showed me proof of postage I would not cancel their service, I would give them the benefit of the doubt. ( I mean small payments) I am sure a dealer could take a hit now and again. A promise to cover loss at customs would get me spending my cash for sure. If I lost $400 I dont think I would buy again from anyone. Just my thoughts. Be gentle with me

pics please. if its that good i want one!

great thoughts friends. I think you are right. patience it seems is the name of the game. Proverb says expectation postponed makes the heart sick. That I think is the key here. my expectations were not met. I thought even with a return factored into the equation I would have a nice watch on my wrist in a month. I thought eventually I would have a watch Its just the thought never crossed my mind that I could end up with no watch at all. Customs are nothing to do with the dealer the dealer could be santa claus and you could still end up with no watch. So is josh a dropshipper or not? for the record I decided to ask josh outright "what happens if the watch is seized by customs" Interesting reply: I have never lost a watch sent by air mail to customs" I will tell you what is a real bummer. Check this out. I spent 2 months researching the archives and posting. took a month just to find you guys and whether those awesome replicas were just urban myth. After all this and deciding i wanted the 6.75 I decided to order. At the time when I was going to place my order my mate came for dinner.I told him about josh. he just decided to order a sub and a tag. My mate new nothing about reps he just bought them on my say so. and you have guessed it......................................his bloody sub and tag are perfect.

Sorry to bring neg vibes to the forum guys. But I am not sure how to give this issue a positve slant. I would welcome any comments good or bad. Someone out there must be able to sypathize with me.

Yes I did say it. But its a good business to be in when you can take payment for a product, ship out a faulty one (albeit a mistake) and when your customer complains tell him to send it somewhere it might get confiscated by customs and if it does you can keep his money. Nice work if you can get it. I am not knocking josh I am knocking myself for not researching fully. This is the nature of the beast. I allowed myself to be subject to this situation. The truth of the matter is, is that if you order from a dropshipper and have to send it back, there is a real chance you could end up with no watch and no money. Not the dealers fault but something every newbie should be aware of imo.

"I was about to send one back to Josh - was packed and ready to go sitting in my back seat... some little voice told me not to send it ($300 SMP PO) - opened it back up and put it on (felt like I got a new watch after it's been sitting there for weeks) - there was a problem with the rotor not spinning freely - it spins 1 or 2 rounds at best (rotor has mildew on it too) I rather get it fixed/serviced here even if it costs much more than shipping but I have no chance of losing my watch plus it's a good idea to have the movement serviced anyhow. no fault of Josh, he doesn't see what the factory ships me and he's an outstanding dealer." So I am right then. Josh is a great dealer but he doesnt really have much say as to what gets shipped out to his customers. He takes your payment, sends some of it to his supplier and they send you what may or may not be a good watch. As the buyer you just need to hope there is nothing wrong with it and if there is you need to hope when you send it back for a replacement it does not get stopped by customs coz if it does you lose your money and your watch! To be honest when I researched the possible outcomes of recieving a faulty watch everyone focused on the dealers willingness to sort out problems. Nobody mentioned the elephant in the room. Namely if customs get it you are buggered! Yes I take full responsibility for not researching this issue fully as I have no doubt someone somewhere has lost their watch in the archives. I have come to realize that sending your watch back to china is a risky business.. Again I say i am relying on luck. Ok I know by definition a dropshipper does not see the stock. But I am not happy about being in a position where my dealer could (well within his rights) tell me. Sorry I cant help, its not my fault.

Sent back my 6.75 to china last week (1st October). Sent it as instructed by Josh, registered air mail, marked as a gift. Reading this post got me thinking though. I wasnt warned about chinese customs being a possible problem. Just a straight forward instuction to send it back to the supplier and wait for my replacement. Now as it only took 7 days to get it from my initial order I assumed I would have my replacement watch well within 2 weeks. If the watch I have sent back to china gets seized am I screwed? I am starting to think that I would be, and that this is all [censored]! Now of course most of this is about me looking for stuff to stress about coz I paid for my watch on the 17th of September and I dont have it, and dont bank on having it for at least another week. So I am a bit [censored] off! Mainly because the fault on the watch was so bad I cant believe it was shipped. A 60 second inspection would have shown it up. Now I know Josh is great and his customer service is good and that mistakes happen. However: I have gone from being dead excited about my replica to not really giving a toss and I am losing interest fast. In fact just to deal with it I have written it off as a loss. Picture this. 3 weeks ago this was me: The optomist: I spend $400 on a great looking watch because I have been convinced the dealers on this site are trustworthy and If anything happens I know they will do their best to help. Anyway I will get my watch within a week and be completely happy with it. I am an easy going chap and can even live with a few minor imperfections. so where is that checkout? As of now this is me: The pessimist: I spent $400 on a watch. The watch was faultly. I had the option to keep the watch or to send it back to the supplier, I sent it back at my own expense! where customs may well confiscate it, in which case I doubt very much the dealer I bought it from would shell out for a new watch on my behalf, In fact I will probably recieve a reply to my email regarding its loss telling me "Thats Life" leaving me $400 out of pocket, no watch and properly [censored] off. So to my question: I paid for my watch nearly 3 weeks ago, it had a fault and I have sent it back. Am I an [censored] for thinking It was possible to get a hassle free experience when purchasing a rep watch? Because to be honest If I get my watch back from china without any further problems (which I probably will) This experience has definately not been a pleasure. I believe a positve outcome to this situation will be based on luck more than anything else. Something I do not like relying on at the best of times let alone when my hard earned cash is involved. Ok ive had a beer a wanted to get it off my chest, so I have. Still is there anyone reading this thread that would not be a little [censored] if they were in my shoes. Please note, this was my first watch purchase so the feelings are compounded somewhat. If it were my 4th or 5th watch this issue would not even be an issue. So is this just a poker game, should I only spend money I am prepared to lose, Is it just the nature of the beast, or have I been unlucky?. We can converse at different sides of the planet almost instantly. I dont understand why it takes weeks to deliver a watch. Regards An ever so slightly tipsy BVC.

Newbie so forgive me. I am pursuing almost perfection. looking for info not having a dig. Why would the chrono be a big giveaway? Just cause of the 30sec aspect or some other reason? Also please dont take offence bro but the sub dials on that 6.75 look pretty bad to me. In particular @9. Just sent mine back to josh cause mine was the same. (slightly worse actually) but all the same couldnt live with it. Josh been great by the way. nobody is perfect. Is this a common inconsistentcy with this model. I also thought the ar on the White 6.75 was good. I had an origional (pre bankruptcy) and from what I can remember my rep was spot on. but I am a newbie after all, so humbly accept any correction.

Thanks guys.

hey guys. I'm from london. I'm a newbie at rwg1 but it crashed. Just ordered a bentley 6.75 but had to send it back. waiting for a replacement. white face on ss. It was a beauty but the subdial was off. cant wait to get my replacement.

Thanks for the heads up. Yeah I want the rim caseback! Dont want to be anal about stuff but I think thats a pretty big deal. will email josh. thanks again.

Just sent my 6.75 back to josh cause of a problem with the subdial. Spoke to a breitling dealer today and he told me all the 6.75 big date bentley models have the 5 spoke bentley rim on the caseback. Now the watch I got from josh didnt have that. It just had the normal bentley text on it. The rim is shown on the pic of the one I ordered. And I wasnt overly bothered untill the dealer told me what he told me. The watch went back 2 days ago. should I chase up the rim? and Is the dealer correct? dont mind not having the rim as long as the dealer is wrong. If he is right then I have to have the rim on the back. dead giveaway if it doesnt ...yes? I am not knocking josh, just want my rep to be spot on. bvc.

oops! sorry guys, still finding my feet. will post there in future.
