KILO

Ok, I want to order one of these, but don't know which way to go. Any suggestions?

Great link, guys.

I also found this one http://www.watchcases.com/

Now that I've started my own collection, I'll be needing a display case for 12-15 pieces. Any websites you guys recommend?

Thanks.

Well what do you know. I did receive the watch, eventhough the box had a note that said it had been opened by customs!

The OP post made me laugh.

Just today I received the dreaded EMS message *Handed to customs* Now, if I were in the U.S, I wouldn't think much about it, buy since I'm in Colombia and my precious shipment is in the hands of the Colombian customs, well to be realistic, I really doubt I'll be getting anything. Yep, I'm bummed out.

Thanks Wraith,

Out of curiosity, which one did you order? I ordered a B&M Riviera, was really looking forward to it.

I have a freight forward company.

Talk about coincidences. I live in Rosales and go out a lot to San Angel, not only for partying, but because they have great food also.

How long ago where you here? Did you get to know the Zona G (G for Gourmet) in 69-70 street? It's next to Rosales and it's an exclusive place filled with great restaurants.

Great place to live, but sadly last tuesday, the FARC put a bomb at the Blockbuster store of 80 and 9th, killing two people.

Awesome. So, what do you do for a living there?

By the way, I used to live in Los Rosales. I used to enjoy walking down to La Zona Rosa on Friday afternoons, stay in one of the hotels adjacent to Parque 93 for the night (usually Pavillion Suites, near the San Angel bar) and go to the up scale Salto Del Angel night club to pick up company for the night. Favorite restaurant, was probably the sushi restaruant near Parque 93 (don't remember the name). But, my favorite cafe, was the Renault Cafe right next to it. I'm nostalgic now.

Kilo, I remember walking en route to the "Atlantis" shopping center - in Bogota - and being stopped on the street by a rep salesman. At the time, I had an Omega Seamaster (gen) and I compared it to his rep ... utterly worthless. But, that was way before I found this forum. Are you a native of Colombia? Or, a team guy chilling in Bogota? Take care, bro.

Heh, rep salesman abound in the Zona Rosa area (Atlantis, Andino mall) hunting for tourists and sometimes passing off the reps as stolen originals! They have nothing but bad quality chinese reps charging as much as 300usd..LOL

I'm Colombian, but lived in the States half my life, mostly in Florida - man, do I miss it there.

Welcome kilo. I've been to Bogota

Thanks...I'm in Bogota.

Welcome ... my wife is from Cali Colombia ..

i love it out there man ; .. cant wait to go back ..

welcome & let the rep addition begin ..

Cool! Cali's known for it's beautiful women.

Lani, I enjoyed the Kohala district - northern, iirc...lots of snorkling there.

You have some great reviews, thanks!

Bienvenido!

Gracias!

Welcome K, you sure found the right house for Reps!!

As Lani stated Brietling had a huge year last year, others you may not be conversant with are Audmars Piquet they do a large chunky watch called the Royal Oak Offshore. You will see it abreviated on the boards here as an AP ROO, awesome looking watches and not the 'norm' in everyday land!

Hope you have fun here and that you and your lady mind many pieces that make you happy!

Thanks Nikki. Now you guys got me interested in the AP ROO as well as Brietling...I guess the more, the merrier..jeje

Aloha Lani!

I went to *The Big Isle* back in '01, with the wifey. It certainly is a beautiful place.

What other brands would you recommend, as non traditional? I don't really want the most common brands.

You have entered the perfect community for your needs K. !!

Welcome, we come from all over the Planet.. I am in Hawaii

Stay awhile, there are many members with years of expertise and experience (most important) .. you sure pick some nice brands ..

stick with the froums "trusted dealers" .. the reps coming out now are by far the most accurate.. and made mostly from genuine samples

Let us know if we can be of any help

Aloha~Cheers

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy some B&M, HBB and RM for both my girl and I and want to get the most info on quality /movement/price, since down here - Colombia, replicas are expensive and are mostly chinese reps of the worst quality. This seems the place to get all the info!
