Jkay Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 boug - It's important to remember that the small dealers like Mary (Watch International) can become completely buried under emails from this forum alone, so once you get her searching for your watch please don't send an email every day asking for progress. This is a very common newbie mistake. Then they get mad when the answers stop coming, due to the dealer being frustrated with too many mails. Check in every couple of weeks, maximum.

boug Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Ok, so Mary can't have it with 2836. (just with a 4813). There is Hont who can have it and I think he have a good reputation too. Do you agree ? The only thing who bother me is the look of is strap who seem horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boug Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Hi folks, Don't know what to think. Mary say that there is no factory who produce the BR03-92 with a 2836 and Hont say that he have one... The problem is that he can't show me the movement because he don't have one near to show it... This is two well trusted dealers, and I don't know who is right. Is there someone of you who have a BR03-92 with a 2836 ?

Member X Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hmm... I'm intrigued that Mary says it's not available with 2836! The 4813 is still an alright movement but it's not a 2836 Have you thought about going up to an 01-92? They're not really that much bigger...

Stukov Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 The 2836 movement is the better deal, I would choose that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boug Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I hope the watch really contain a 2836, but I don't want to open it to verify... I believe the words of Hont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 You will know immediately when you use the crown. Asia 21j (4813) feels like wind-up tin robot toy .. rough and loose. Swiss 2836 feels like silk .. and tight .. like precision machinery. 4813 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boug Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Trevor does them so does Andrew etc I am surprised Mary cant source it with 2836 I was surprised too, but she confirme me that she can't find one. Maybe they're NO MORE available, and the other guys have old stock in their hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I doubt that mate in all honesty and Trevor dont keep stock like that especially on such a model... Even Andrew would be unlikely to have that stock..... More likely they factory might not deal with her or charge her to high as I believe those only come from the one factory so Andrew told me anyway.....

boug Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 It should be interesting BTW to know how many factories produce this or this watch. Wich one produce that movement and is supplier for this one...etc. It should help us to do more advise purchase by comparing quality and price more easily. In my case, by example, I still don't know if there is quality difference between the BR03-02 sold by Hong and by puretime. Is this the exact same watch ? I don't saw any post with this subject...

PeteM Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 The quality is pretty much comparable across all reps except where it differs it is documented as are the suppliers. The accuracy of the watch or rather its attributes can lead you to know the quality you can expect. Thats comes from time spent on the forums and doing plenty of research. Buying a rep is like no other purchase though its getting better all the time. You can see the watches you like from different dealers study the pics (ask if they are current) study the specs if you are not sure ask the dealer direct, make sure he will provide QC pics etc There are a lot of brands that arent reviewed or discussed on the forums in any depth. So when you get yours it is your chance to contribute You wont find much on the 2836 as most are 4813s I think you have enough information to now make your own decision if your still not sure then reread the guide to buying reps that is a sticky and follow the advice there. Or just wait to get one off the sales section if you can wait or put up a WTB GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boug Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) That's what I done in fact. I already ordered 2 watches from Hont. When My wife and I will had worn it for some days, I'll surely post here some photos and commentaries...

boug Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Ok, I finally received them friday. The quality is pretty good. But, (because there is a but) I worn the Bell & Ross few hours and realised that my strap have a missing screw. Was it there and I lost it, or it was already missing ? I contact Hont and have not received any response for now. I'll make a little review in the next days. The Chanel watch is also very beautiful and have lots of "sparkles" My wife is very happy about the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
