Daywatch 4 Posted February 1, 2015 Hi, You´re now in the part of "learning the rep-business" and that means: 1. First see what is available, than choose the one You want, not the other way round; 2. Forget everything and first see what is well replicated, check if its available and than go from there; Watches not discussed on the forum either are very badly replicated or unavailable or too expensive so it´s just a shot in the dark (and it will miss).

Frankt8242 1 Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) There are a bunch of BP reps available out there ...They are a very common rep model..Just post a WTB ad, and you'll get a bunch of offer.. Unless of course you "need" that exact specific configuration..And if you indeed do, you have my pity.. :giggle: Edited February 1, 2015 by Frankt8242 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
