rkane 0 Posted January 24, 2011 Howdo, Just wanted to say a big hi from sunny SYorkshire, UK and thank you guys for some top info (especially the approved dealer list!) Have been travelling to China, HK and TW for a number of years now with work and have tended to end up parting £20 - £30 on some truly appalling quality replicas from the Luohu complex in Shenzhen (don't hold it against me, it's 2 minutes walk from the ShangriLa where we stay) Including a couple of awfully inaccuate Panerai's, a B&R with 47 days on the calander and the thinnest glass known to man. It's nice to have the resources and the knowledge of an enthusiastic community, and i'm looking forward to building up a decent quality collection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rkane 0 Posted January 25, 2011 There's a nice warm welcome! Spent the morning scouting these boards and have to say I've fallen head over heels for the Pam288k that Josh and Mary both list. Even tho I'm back out to china in April, I'm still going to use one of the approved sellers, as it's quality I'm after! Now all I've got to do is decide which to buy from!
