cbianchi Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hi, has anyone purchased from them? They have lovely pictures and seem great, but I cannot find any reviews...? Thanks, C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Don't know them but FWIW my advice is to buy from the trusted dealers featured in this forum. Why take a risk when there's no need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbianchi Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Thanks for your answer. The reason is I have been in touch with them: they respond to email quickly, have live chat with a knowledgeable Sally and the watches are very well documented, with lots of detailed images. Prices are also quite keen in most cases. That is why I was interested in knowing if someone dealt with them. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irolexu Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Sure they respond fast and have "live chat" it's the after sale service that will smash your teeth in because when you get something in the mail that's not really as advertised all the sudden they are MIA. My best advice is stick to our TDs they are here for a reason. You will not be dissapointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbianchi Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Thanks for your replies. Please forgive me as I'm new here, but I'm confused by the list of trusted dealers I have found around the forum. It seems that at least 1/3 of them do not exist any longer and 1/2 of the others don't list a website and google does not return anything. Bergie. No website BK. No website. Posts are from 2010 at the top. David Sen. No website, only one photo bucket http://s1113.beta.photobucket.com/user/dsnwatches/library/ which is empty Josh Nana. No website and latest post March 2012 Kingswatch. No website, latest post 2009. Precious Time. This works at http://www.ptswisswatch.com Puretime. This works at http://puretime.co River. Just an email gub39@yahoo.com.tw Silix. Works at www.silix-prime.net Supermirrors. There is a text-only stock list, no pictures. Is there a website? Torobravo. http://www.torobravos.com/ Trevortime. www.trevortime.info - the website gives an error when you do there. Trusty time. http://www.ttw168.com Watchbiz. http://watchbitz.com.au/shop/ - just parts Watch international. Just an email from what I can see: Watchinternational@gmail.com Watchstation. No posts, no website. Is this the list? Thanks, C Edited January 18, 2013 by cbianchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Is this the list? Thanks, C Not every trusted rep merchant has a "big store" .. some are one-person shops, who you speak to directly in email. Regardless of size, each has been with the Community for years, and is a trusted merchant. Jos Nana = Joshua of Perfect Clones and is one of the biggest "big stores" http://www.1-pc8838.com BK is a watch **modder** not a watch retailer. He imports select high-quality models into the USA and re-sells them with the option to have them variously improved before shipment. Bergie deals exclusively in top rank soft goods. (clothing/shoes/luggage/purses/accessories) - he is a 2 person shop. PM him here as user "KB" Connie King has a "big store" at http://KingShowBox.com Sead at SuperMirrors runs a 1-man store. He'll send you QC photos of any watch he has, if you ask. He is also a modder and can procure custom exotic leather straps for your watch pre-shipment. David Sen builds to order. He's that rare breed of builder-retailer. Watch International is a 2-person operation; they take your order, then walk over the the watch bazaar and hand-pick your pieces for you ... have you tried watch-international.com ? Your best bet is to email them, anyway .. the web site is not updated properly. The most important thing you can learn here, is that almost every dealer has the same watches. It's not like they make them in their own basement. What you want in reality is someone who you can trust with your money, and who also supplies a decent return policy if your piece arrives broken. You can get the same watches sold by the trusted dealers on a lot of internet web sites but those sites will lie to you about chinese or swiss or automatic or quartz movements, and charge you hundreds of dollars extra per watch. edit: to sum it up .. the web site you're mentioning is an unknown. why send $400+ into a black hole in China, hoping a watch will come back out of that hole.
