Has anyone had any dealings or experience with bestsource123?

This seems to be a California based material house with some amazing prices for ETA chrono movements. The website is clearly a 'ripoff' of the Ofrei design. It seems too good to be true and probably is - see the ETA 7750 & 7753 prices. Has anyone any experience here?

Swiss 7750 for $180?

scam - where's his contact info?

Contact info at the bottom of each page. I have gone back to the 'site and the ordering instructions are;

"Order Form, For Watch Parts

If you would like to place an order for any the the 500,000 possible watch parts we might be able to supply or to manually process an order for some of the 12,000 items we show on-line, please click the link below to access the page containing the order form. You will need to print this page, fill it out completely and send it to Otto Frei via postal mail or Fax. When you are done printing the Order Form, press your browser's back button to return to the Otto Frei website."

Go to the FAQ and it's Bob Frei's usual friendly self;

"To Send Email: Always Fill Out Subject Line, with text relating to the subject in the email. Your first and last name, phone number and address. If allowing me to know who you are is all to personal for you please use the phone, or take your problems to someone else. We do not sell names and addresses to mass marketers, however I am tired of dealing with people hiding anonymously by email. Sincerely, Bob Frei

E-mail: Info@bestsource123.com"

If you think of Bob Frei's attitude towards his paying customers, I can only imagine his response to a scam site stealing his webpages!

I can't make heads or tails of this site

Otto's contact address is :

P.O. Box 796

126 Second Street

Oakland, CA 94604 USA

USA Telephone 510.832.0355

800.900.3734 (fax)

International Telephone and Fax 510.832.0355

510.834.6217 (fax)

and this site is :

19227 E. Colima Road,

City Of Industry , CA 91748 - United States

fax 1-800-900-3734.

international orders is 510-834-6217.

phone 1-510-832-0355 Ext. 2

if this was a scam site, would they use the same phone unless they are trying to load Otto with spam

OR

the Swiss 7750 for $180 is a misprint

on Otto Frei's site ( http://www.tztoolshop.com/FB_Catalog_Movements.html ) - the Valjoux 7750 sells for $598

the 2824-2 sells for $148 on otto's site and $150 on bestsource123

maybe someone has the will to dig into it
