And on what do you base these assumptions......empirical evidence.....anecdotal evidence...hard facts and statistics...or just a personally held belief...!

I have a goodly number of friends who are either managers or assistant managers in various AD's.....they could tell you horror stories about not only the problems....but the sheer volume of complaints regarding genuine watches.....I would certainly never propose that good quality reps are more likely to be problematic than genuines.....cheap quality reps...yes.....!

This is really a good answer, TTK. I think that a gen, which can have problems (as my gen Omega Speedmaster had!), can always be sent to an official Brand watchsmith who will do his best to repair your watch, and will be paid for that. With reps it is different, since it is not easy to find a watchsmith very keen to repair reps, and at the end there is no guarantee on the result. This is something that in my perspective overcomes the price paid for the watch, since I really love my reps, which have very good movements and parts that made them last for two years now (and I am sure/hopeful they will last for many years!)... I think that an "Official Reps Service" (excuse me for this joke) would make a fortune if the price applied for the service is coherent with that of the replica.

I really appreciate all the work you are doing, the posts you write, the watches you sell, and when I'll have some budget I would like to buy something from your catalog (if you wish to, of course...)

Definitely one of the good guys, have bought 5+ watches from trusty. No problems whatsoever.

I vote for Andrew too!
