Hello Everybody,
I'm new in your forum and new in that rep theme at all.- so thanks be a part of this .
I'm in Thailand at the moment, found already Dealers in Bangkok, Chiang Mai & Phuket.
I would like to buy a AP Royal Oak, Classic Black in the best rep- condition, Swiss movmemt, waterproove.... What I've read alreadY is the fact of several qualities of the rep types, which I've already Seen in the back of some shops.
But as you know: they can tell you a lot of it, but I personally dont know If this is an ETA movment, stainless Steel screws, waterproove etc.
I found a shop in Phuket at the moment, talking about best rep quality, price between 500-700€. Indeed that wont be the final, as i haven't start to deal with.
So my question to you RWG specialist, what do I have to take
Care about when buying ?
I mean I can check the measurement, design at all, but what happens inside. Should I take the watch in front the Dealer and put it into water for 2 minutes ?
How do identify the Swiss movment ? Are there checklists which I have to take into consideration ?
What price to pay finaly ?
Maybe somebody has already a reliable adress in Phuket or Bangkok to buy best reliable quality ?
Thanks for your help
Andy
