I wonder if anyone has had problems at customs going in to a country? and with the ones you guys take are they the good reps you own or the ones you wouldnt mind so much if you lost?

So with Christmas and New year over people tend to start thinking about booking their holiday/vacation/leave but when you go what do you guys take with you, now I DONT mean what makes, brands etc but.... do you take reps or leave them at home? Does it depend on the country your going to? If so which countries are the riskier? If you take reps how many do you go with? Whats the experience do you guys have with reps on holiday/ vacation?

Just wondering given the views and responses in such a short period, thanks to Rob Why hasnt this thread got stars next to it? I thought that highlighted great threads to check out or have I assumed wrongly Either way it should!!! EDIT They werent there when I posted this what happened???

To be honest I have never found one I liked, there are some with good aspects to the site but overall I find them more about selling the image or the kudos of the brand rather than showing enough of the watches. I am not criticising them for it afterall thats why most people buy the big brands. I prefer the high grade used sellers, there pics are better the info short and sweet and no frills to sift through. But if I had to pick one it would be Omega mainly because you can access archive stuff on models serial numbers and movements.

Not speaking German apart from ordering beers and a gyros I would guess the site has a cop out as a drop shipper he probably dont see the watches, they come straight from far east so customs would be an issue I think.

Never watched the show myself. Tried for ten minutes but it 'Lost' me. Felt like I was watching Twin Peaks again! But whenever I saw clips I could never understand why the Fat guy never 'lost' any weight if anything he seems to of put it on. I guess there was no shortage of In flight meals!!

When was that mate? I dont think anyone wants to hang this guy but unless you hear from someone when an issue arises its not surprising people think the worst, its human nature. But there could be all sorts of reasons why he hasnt so its hard to judge in a lot of cases when they arise.

front line

Funny though how he posts the questions and answers Got front thats for sure

@hike Very tasty, very sweet

I was just reading about this somewhere with another guy with same problem. I am sure it was the stem causing the problem. I will have another look mate for it.

Lovely Zig, Those movements are gorgeous. Love that stealth look on the Flyback. Did you do the 286 look yourself as well? The sub and chrono hand that is?

Lovely job mate. You have a talent for sure.

Guys could you explain what you mean by rare or discontinued. DSN still offers the 091 so whats the difference? I understand the underappreciated bit. Cheers

Dont agree with that last statement. The idea that the seller can be solely responsible for it arriving and in full working order is not reasonable. The seller and the buyer both accept a risk in agreeing to sell and buy. As long as the seller has done all thats reasonable and given disclosure of the item then any event that might take place during its journey is not the sellers sole responsibility, it cant be. Otherwise the seller is equally if not probably more open to scamming than the buyer is. Admittedly most defects identified upon reciept can be usually identified as a defect in transit or prior to shipping, yes there are grey areas but on the whole it can be identified. Any problems should be discussed between both people and a reasonable agreement reached, if it cant be then the mods can help in bringing the issue to a satisfactory conclusion for both guys. Most of the time we can do that ourselves in the spirit of this forum. In turn you then have the risk of the buyer saying it hasnt arrived especially if you have sent the watch by a method that cant prove it but if you have done so then it could still be a case of 'well I didnt receive it'! But I dont think its right to accept responsibility as a seller for the watch arriving in full working order or indeed arriving at all, as long as, as I have said the seller has fulfilled or honored his description of the item and packaged and sent it in the most reasonable way or as agreed/requested. I think there is a balance to this not a sole responsibility. I do however agree with the sentiment just not the practicality of it.

Its mentioned in this thread mate

If it is then you think he would of at least started using tracking and if not that can only lead to one logical conclusion on motive given J's issue on this thread and the comments made. I hope not for everyones sake and that this is a diferent guy and all will get sorted in the right way

I like the way he said dont buy it off the street but you can be sure if you buy one off someone like me!! Well at least if you do you know it wont leak!!!

Not heard of one mate Mat said the same

Nice mate
