mickiii Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Hi, I am completely new here, and new to replica's. However I've always wanted to have a Breitling, but unfortunately I can't afford the real thing I've decided on the Avenger Skyland v. 2 as my first replica, both because it gets good reviews in here, and also because it suits my taste. In regard to this purchase, I have a few questions: Since the watch is going to either Denmark (Work) or Sweden (Home), are there any dealers that are better than the others? What are some of the problems I can experience in customs? I assume it is illegal to import these watches. Secondly, I see that the common price for this watch is USD 268, however Silix has it at USD 200, but with a rubberstrap. Can it be ordered with the metal one, and does that affect the price? (I might need to direct this question to Silix) I've read a few reviews of dealers, and it seems to be common that people experience 2-4 weeks delivery. Is this normal, or just special occasions? Are there any general pitfalls that I need to be on the lookout for? Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter. I apologize if this part of the forum, is the wrong place to ask these kind of questions. Best Regards, Michael

All dealers here are trustworthy, I have only done business with Josh, Andrew, Silix and Precious Time though. They are all great dealers. PT is based in the UK and that is an advantage for us in Europe but he hasn
milsub5517 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Posted September 2, 2008 one important thing. if you do order from china and your watch arrives with some problem you'll have to send it back to china + pay for it + wait another month or so to recieve replacement. So keep this in mind as well. Your "local" dealers may send you a replacement faster + no customs risk with them.
Dani Posted September 2, 2008 Report Posted September 2, 2008 i woud recommend a search on all your questions..
alw Posted September 2, 2008 Report Posted September 2, 2008 Even worse than having the watches destroyed is getting prosecuted.
mickiii Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Posted September 3, 2008 Wow!, thanks for the heads-up! - I have contacted Precious Time, and even though it is a bit more expensive than ordering from China, I prefer the security.

chronoluvvv Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 Even worse than having the watches destroyed is getting prosecuted. sorry for the thread-jack but has any member ever been charged for importing fake watches into the EU ?
alw Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 There was one guy at RWI who had a horror story last winter.

It is illegal to import pirated goods in Sweden.

nemesis Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Would have been an interesting article if it wasn't written by complete hacks. They order a watch for $200 and get a Quartz movement (a Rolex expert claims that this is the best way to spot any replica, that only gen Rolexes have automatic movements, and also that the replica probably cost $3-4 to make which might be true on this one but is rather misleading when it comes to high quality reps). The sites they used are ireplicastore, watch-replica.net and replicastreet. And of course, no word about the fact that better replicas exist. The "journalist" was most likely biased from the beginning. And, oh yeah, the Bvlgari he's wearing on page 1 is a woman's watch.
nemesis Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Anyways, back to topic. Here's a good link for all things import related (concerning Sweden only): http://www.tullverket.se/download/18.2bd1e...101.92_2009.pdf

And "OUCH" there is NO come back from a [censored] slap like this!! "And, oh yeah, the Bvlgari he's wearing on page 1 is a woman's watch. " Thats pure class right there! lol
BRONTE500 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 I got my skyland v2 from chris at eurotimez and im based in the uk. 2 weeks for delivery and faultless watch, was very happy with the whole deal as chris was very helpful.
T_b Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Order from Josh, you will for sure be suprised about what you get Lycka till
raptor Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Damn i was thinking of ordering from China with pam111 to Sweden. I've ordered over 100 times before from china/HK but never got any problems however this is a different situtation with copied brands. pam111 guarantees delivery. Could i trust that? What if customs confiscate it say 3 times. Also, are there only 2 european dealers ? Eurotimez and PT? Regards Raptor
fitmic Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Personally I would choose another dealer. Narikaa is another EU based dealer.
