Andrew has been in regular contact with me the last several days regarding my order. It appears to be business as usual for him. I got QC pics and the order shipped this morning. No problems thus far. Of course it hasn't cleared Chinese customs yet...
Good thing I ordered and received 6 reps over the last 6 weeks and didn't wait to pull the trigger. I only have one outstanding order left with Andrew -- a Rolex Classic SD -- but he hasn't mentioned anything about there being a problem filling the order.
Picking a rep dealer is like picking a car dealer. You're getting the same car from each of them. The question is who has the best price and the most reliable customer service.
Thank you sir! I am taking it to my repair guy tomorrow to take a couple links out of the bracelet to make it fit better. But it was so beautiful I had to wear it anyway.
I highly recommend this rep. Less than $300 and it is fantastic. From Trusty/Andrew. Perfect movement and chrono works awesome.
The first day I wore it, a very high level executive complimented me on a "fine watch." This watch certainly draws attention.
Never been asked, but I've certainly been complimented on my watches. I sometimes wear a Breguet tourbillon rep that is an obvious rep, but no one has ever said anything other than, "Wow, that's a cool watch!"
Honestly, the quality of the movements in reps nowadays is as good or better than your average off-the-shelf $150.00 "real" watch from the mall department store. And the reps look a HELL of a lot better than a Casio or Fossil.
Don't waste your time on pessimistic, negative people. This is a hobby. Have fun with it, don't take it too seriously, and respect your fellow aficionados. Words to live by in pretty much any area of life...
