KBH 7 Posted May 24, 2010 It might be helpful to post links for us to look at. Are you looking at the 42mm or the larger one? Also the difference could be in the movement that powers it. Without knowing which one you're looking at it's impossible to give you any advice. Narikaa is from the UK and often has the 42mm in stock. I don't know about the orange strap though.

AllergyDoc 40 Posted May 24, 2010 Precious time and Narikaa are UK dealers. http://www.ptswiss88.com/ (You have to email for prices.) Narikaa's section is in the dealers' forum. I think he can get the orange rubber strap but I'm not positive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rc42 0 Posted May 25, 2010 Eeeeee by gum, welcome thee t' forum The UK is a good place to be for rep purchases, customs aren't interested in individual fake watches coming through, I've bought about 30 from Josh and never had a single problem. EMS delivery takes about a week from China for most of the year, just don't order anywhere near Chineese new year though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted May 25, 2010 You're looking at 2 distinctly different watches. One is a mechanical 7750 movement 45.5 mm with double sided AR. The other is a 42.5 with a Japanese quartz movement. The one from Josh is a very good quality rep if you're comfortable with a watch that big. I don't know too much about the 42mm one, but generally quatrz are pretty much lower quality.

Ska 11 Posted May 25, 2010 welcome tricky. Although not a UK based dealer. I'd recommend using mary (Watchinternational). I'm UK based and she's perfectly comfortable sending things over here. She's also awesome in terms of customer service. My first buy from her is a UPO. You can see a detailed breakdown of the purchase here: Link to UPO review Thread.....
