butchyg73 0 Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Has anyone ordered or received a Bell & Ross BR02-SS from Marvellous Replicas? I was going to order one from Toro until I heard back that these were out of stock. I looked at all the trusted dealers and found MR to have all the features I was looking for at about the same price as Toro. I must say communication has been excellent with MR. The watch is currently en route and trackable. It should arrive in about a week. I was initially skeptical about sending $245 through Western Union but trusting all that I have read on this site I felt at ease. I just haven't told the wife yet. This is my first rep purchase. The QC pics looked great and I will post them with my pics as soon as the watch arrives. The only issue I noticed was how the watch band has a gap on both sides at the pin on the back side. This is certainly not a deal breaker, but I did order a gen strap for $50. Thanks RWG, and all your loyal posters for your guidance and input!

butchyg73 0 Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Does anyone know how long US customs (NY) typically takes to pass an item thru customs and be released? Edited April 11, 2013 by butchyg73 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scottie83 0 Posted April 11, 2013 NY its usually 1 day, maybe 2. Make sure you post some pics in the B&R section when you get it. Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
butchyg73 0 Posted April 11, 2013 I've been watching the tracking and my watch is in NY customs for a day now, I guess I shouldn't be worried then. Has anyone lost a watch to customs in NY? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
butchyg73 0 Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Here are my QC pics. Today is day 7. Third day in NY customs. Fingers are crossed! Ok, sorry..... pics removed.... Edited April 13, 2013 by butchyg73 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
butchyg73 0 Posted April 13, 2013 Has anyone ever looked at the QC picture properties they have received? The day I received my QC pics, in March, they had a date stamp in November. I'm thinking (hoping) the date and time was never set on their camera and not just some stock photo. Am I alone on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frogflyer 6 Posted April 13, 2013 Your likely going to hear from Greg about posting QC pics. Seeing as how he just re-iterrated the rules on that yesterday. I'd remove them. Nice watch by the way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
