JoeyB 0 Posted November 3, 2009 All the advice given is spot on, no one here would purposely steer you wrong. We've all learned from others mistakes that have posted here before us, and from our own mistakes too. Both Robert and Mary are very good choices. What I would recommend, especially with our preferred dealers that do not have a web site, is to be thorough in your description of what you want. Bear in mind that there is a language barrier at times, and the better you describe what you want, the more likely you'll get exactly that. English doesn't always translate well into Chinese! No need to talk down to any, but make certain you list the details you want and then double check your pm or email a few times so that you know you didn't miss anything. The Submariner is probably the easiest purchase to make, you won't be disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 82 Posted November 3, 2009 I dont think no one has mentioned patience yet. It takes a lot of this. Alcohol works too. HD's solution is the best, though - just keep buying. After a couple of weeks you'll get to the point where you get a new watch every couple of days - if you combine that with my method, you won't even remember what you ordered, so it'll be like Christmas every day!

KBH 7 Posted November 3, 2009 Uh oh! Very bad Customs there, from what I have heard. Swiss Customs takes all reps and Italian Postal Service steals anything that will fit in a trench coat. Maybe I'm generalizing a little too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jameo210369 0 Posted November 3, 2009 Alberto the rules of buying a reps are below, if you stick to this quick rule of thumb you'll be fine. 1, Pick your dealer 2, Pick your watch 3, Ask the forum if they think it is value for money, you will get honest unbiased opinions. 4, Go out and buy a good book as the wait for your first rep is eternal 5, If you notice men in black coats following you then panic it is the customs and excise men 6, Have a good alibi and always and I mean always blame your wife when the customs guys ask Welcome to the madness Alberto, what type of watch do you like? Rolex is normally as safe buy for beginers but you must have other brands that you like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Member X 91 Posted November 4, 2009 Have you got any relatives in other countries that are only a short trip away? Could be worth getting things delivered there then taking a trip over to see them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
