Lacuadra Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hi friends From what I have read it seems that the factories are limited and basically most of the merchandise is supplied to the dealers upon availability. Service , availability and dedication is what makes the difference. In the replica bag world we have a similar trusted dealer scenario however, there are dealers that sell the best materials, copy and stitching for certain brands. And top dealers who are ultra secret and sell the most coveted perfect replicas. In other words we have certain niches. Is my understanding correct or Do we have dealers that specialize on certain type of replicas, quality? And do you stick to the same dealer all things being equal?

GenTLe Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Personally I have 2 or 3 preferred ones. I tried many but now, with so high dollar change rate, I stick to good offers/promotions or to wholesale option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elprimerozen Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 8 years ago...i remember that to get a "Special" rolex rep case.....or a "secret" vintage daytona caliber was something hard...but that was exactly what made the dealers back then Special item dealers....there will be always Special items here...... For me its most of the time one dealer.....for something Special i go always to other members,not a dealer.....thats why we all love this forum!

Nanuq Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Exactly. That's what made a MBW something special. Its rarity and Maria's fingerprint inside the plexi. If you were lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Sooner or later You will have 2-3 favourites. Some are faster in communications and shipping, have better websites and favour certain factories, others may lack these qualities but put more effort into pre-selecting watches before You get to see them or have simpler payment methods. In the past, as soon as something went wrong, I switched the TD and never regretted it. The bigger the dealer, the less he will reward "loyalty", exceptions granted.

HaydenM Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I have one dealer that I've dealt with twice now, so far so good but there are also parts dealers who I trust and have dealt with. If there is somebody I trust I'll deal with them before trying somebody new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcardoza Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I have 3 dealers that I've dealt with to date. PayPal acceptance is important to me, so there are some well regarded TD's that I just won't deal with. Recently, I've leaned toward Toro and Ryan, because they offer a more narrow selection and give me the impression that they are more selective in their pieces that some of the larger TD's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacuadra Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the info. I already dealt with PureTime(Angus) and have to say they were quick to ship and the watch I got looks very impressive to me ( I am not that educated as far as those tiny details). I took pictures of the real one, and checked it against it (the store display), and seems like it is very convincing. I used a virtual card number ( citi ) for payment and it went very smoothly. No paypal for me yet, maybe later when they know me a little bit more. Citi Virtual works just fine. Edited June 9, 2015 by Lacuadra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, Ryan takes a lot of beating. Good communication and helpful, even when customs destroy your watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
