kuiksilver Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi Lads, A total newbie in the Reps World. Well... Had a REAL rep sub (which was sold to me as being a genuine one...) for three years. The one issue was that it doesn't look real, the wristband end bits were hollow ,the magnifier useless, the pearl fell off, the rehaut inexistant, the dial not in line with the hour marking, ... All in all, a bad rep. I was thinking of replacing that one with a new Rep but I have several questions: - I'm in the UK and I was wondering if the purchase of reps are safe in terms of law and regulations and customs. - I found some internet websites and I was wondering if they are really safe (without scammers) - I wanted to know where you can get the best sea dweller Rep and Submariner LV Rep? I do not have a budget for the mo, but I would like one which is 100% functional and reliable as well as an accurate genuine look. Thanks in advance for your answers !

fitmic Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Narikaa, Precious Time, Homer are all located in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs1971 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Welcome aboard! The best advise I can give you is not to rush anything. This forum has a wealth of useful information. Study all you can about the watch of your desire. The search function will get you on your way. There have been a big thread about the legality of reps by Pugwash including a lot of UK specific info. Narikaa, Precious Time and Homer are safe to order from. They ship within the EU, so no c*stom hassles. Don't use sellers that are not on this forum. And please upgrade to Supporter status once you've found out how useful this forum is. It will also give you the opportunity to resell your own watches to other board members and get you access to the more technical forums. Enjoy!

kuiksilver Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Thank you everyone for your answers. I was wondering. If I order from Angus, will the c@stom be a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Thank you everyone for your answers. I was wondering. If I order from Angus, will the c@stom be a problem? PM teejay and asked him, he's UK based and a super nice guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Welcome! You should take the advice of the previous members and contact Narika. Dealing with customs can be big pain. @hike: buddy you've got the best avitar around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephyrzone Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I'm new here too and like most newbies had the same question (except I'm in the US). Of course, I'm used to online forums and used the good old search function. I only used it long enough to know WHICH sub is best, I''m sure with another few hours I'll know much more (where to buy from for example). One thing I did know for certain was NOT to ask this question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
