Thanks very much for your help. I'm in no position at all to be fiddling around with the watch myself as I have no expertise in this area. I'll get in touch with the dealer and see if they have any alternatives available. Thanks again.

Hi all - this is a very helpful post to a noob like me. I wonder if I could ask a question? I've been reading as much on this and other forums as I can about how to buy replica watches, and how to avoid the possible pitfalls involved. I've yet to actually buy my first watch, although I am almost ready to pull the trigger. I've found a good dealer (Trusty Time), and a watch that I think looks good. The QC photos are included on the website and look excellent. I've been in touch with the dealer with a few questions, and he got back to me within the hour and seemed very friendly and professional. The only thing that's holding me back is that one of the QC photos is of a timegrapher readout for the watch that seems out of whack with the advice given here, and I'd like the forum's thoughts on how important this is. The readings are: Rate -004 m/s Amplitude 257 Beat Error 2.4m/s So, on the OP's advice, the rate and amplitude are fine. But the beat error is way off, 1.4m/s above what is considered 'acceptable'. Does the beat error reading suggest that I should not get the watch? I'd be grateful to hear what you think. I know that some of you may be tempted to suggest I just read up and get more information. But I've been doing that and the more I read, the more confusing it gets as everyone seems to have a different view about the importance of timegrapher readouts. Some people think they're really important, others think you should just ignore them. Some people think that the timegrapher means nothing compared to 'real world' use. Others have different views about what is an 'acceptable' reading. As someone newish to all this I'm finding it all a bit confusing and would be pleased to get some advice. Thanks.
