  1. I appreciate the time and energy your taking to guide me in the right direction. Both of their websites are currently down. After the recommendations I have been receiving I feel fairly comfortable to move forward with a purchase when his site is back up.
  2. rofl, yes thank you... im learning as I go:)
  3. Thanks for your negative opinion, it has been apparent since your initial post. Not surprised.
  4. Thanks for the remarks... here is the main disconnect. Your a genuine hobbiest, I am not. I enjoy buying beautiful watches based on how they look, I could care less about the technology inside or how it should come oiled or all of the specific internal details of the watch. If I like how it looks and it tells me the date and time I am happy, I am fairly simple in those respects. How often I need to service the watch and things of that nature I will ask the dealer who I am paying $400-600. I understand this is a business for dealers, yes they may love the hobby, but they also don't do this at not cost. And with buying a rep I would expect it wouldn't be perfect. I'll take my chances. There are some people that just like watches and will spend money on it not wanting to know all the in and outs of it, I dont want to be a watch expert, I really don't have the time for it (not trying to be an ass, but honest). I just have a few watch designs I tend to love yet could never justify the cost of a gen. Keeping it simple for someone who doesn't want to get so involved in the technical aspects should be fair to respect. I read the faq on oiling a watch from your link and realized the post went on for pages about how the oil sits in between x part and y part... after 5 mis my eyes glazed over... Thats great for someone who wants to be an expert and learn. I am not, and I dont expect to be. A great analogy is its like buying a car. Most people dont need or want to be an expert on how it works, just give me the quick rundown on how often I need to go in to see my mechanic to service it or change the oil and if I run into issues ill take it to an expert. I dont need wise jokes or condescending remarks as again, its a simple question. I am trying to get from point A to point B if I run into issues then I will learn what went wrong and how. I dont think you should feel insulted in me saying "I just don't have time to research, someone tell me where i can get the best breitling" you should instead feel honored that I would spend $400+ on your recommendation, after all I wouldnt share that question with a hobbyist if I didnt care about your opinions. so maybe your viewing it as an insult but to me, its the exact opposite. You guys are the experts, the true hobbyists, and the last thing I wanted to do is get ripped off and never take a chance on a rep watch again, so I come here for trusted dealers and trusted hobbiests that know much more then I ever will about watches. That is why I ask you guys, and yes, I may have stupid questions from time to time like does it come with AR coating or how heavy quality wise is the band, but thats what forums are for, asking questions, feeling comfortable with spending a large amount of money on a rep watch. I am trying to get from point A to point B in its simplest form right now, maybe one day that will change. Thank you for the tip on servicing the watch if I plan to keep it a while. I have never serviced any of my watches but that is something I didnt really think about.
  5. I have already emailed him, thank you the recommendation. His website seems down right now.... Most reviews I have read did not list the dealer... for example if you read the pinned section on this forum of the best breitling replicas the author lists every single model yet as you can clearly read, the author says its my job to do the research to find the dealer as he would not list or recommend for several reasons.
  6. Thank you very much, I had read about him but I was not sure if he Joshua was a person or dealer, I was a bit confused, I will look into this thanks I really appreciate it.
  7. Fair enough I would expect an answer like this.... I came over from the RWI forums to read reviews here on Breitling reps.. I am frustrated at this point, I waited for the Chinese holidays to go by so I could find a watch and order it. I have read hours of reviews and newbie do's and dont's... I had also read countless reviews where they have amazing watches but they wont list the dealer. What is the point of this? The search function doesn't help me find the top dealers for the watch im looking for... people who had ordered the same watch carry that knowledge... I am tired of reading countless reviews of rep watches that look amazing yet no listings of the dealer. I am ready to move forward, I have been patiently waiting and looking since January.... I am not looking for a $100 rep, I am looking for a highly recommended dealer for the rep I am looking for, I dont think thats easy to find without asking for recommendations from experts (you guys) that know much more then I do about watches.
  8. Hello, I am new the the replica watch community. One of the most frustrating things I have found is that finding a watch maker is extremely complicated. I have read tons of reviews for Breitling watches yet nobody talks about who they ordered from. I cant even seem to find any information or a list of the top recommended manufacturers for a certain watch. I am usually too busy to attend to spending the hours upon hours researching these forums and really getting involved in the community as a whole, but more so I want to just get involved by buying a watch. And if it goes well, buy another down the road. I mean a lot of you are experts on watches and I tip my hat off to you for going into such great detail about your reps. But for someone as basic as I am, I know what kind of watch I want, but finding someone than can make it is my problem and these forums tend to talk a lot about watches but no information or recommendations on a seller or reviews on a sellers watch. I guess im a bit frustrated as I have been looking for someone for a while and I just dont have the time in the day to spend researching this topic for hours and hours. Breitlings are my favorite types. I am looking for an Super Avenger dark blue tone with a SS bracelet. If anybody has recommendations on who can make a great rep please let me know.
