Buying zReps in China

Dear all,

I would be heading to China (Shanghai, Shen Zheng and Hong Kong) for a well deserved 2 weeks break.

As a newbie, should I purchase my reps there? and what should I look out for?

Cheers!

Probably not... The dealers on this board gives the best reps I've seen. All are rather prompt with questions and I hardly had any problem dealing with em. Besides, being a noobie, you wouldn't really know wat to look out for.

I was in Bangkok last week and I visited the famed MBW shop in MBK shopping center, they dont even have some of the models that the dealers are carrying. So for the time being I'd stick the forum collectors.

Cheers

I would recommend leaving watches completely out of the picture (unless you find something really rare like a quality JLC or Blancpain) and instead try to pick up things that our dealers do not carry or which need to be tried on in a fitting room before purchase - designer sunglasses, clothing, suits, tie clips, umbrellas, etc etc.

Remember don't be afraid to haggle over there. Haggle like your life depends on it. From what I've heard they have completely different customs than we do in the West and you're pretty much expected to fight for a good price. The comedic slogan is always "if your seller is smiling after the transaction you've done something wrong."
