Can we order rep parts (such as, to be specific, ceramic bezel insert of Seamaster 2018 42mm and Panerai crownguard from VSF factory)? Usually will trusted dealers accept the order like this? Thanks
It’s not up to the TD.
It’s wether or not the maker is willing to sell spare parts. ARF as an example doesn’t sell his daytona dial alone, because they know people would stop getting their daytona to just buy their dial to be put on a noob base watch.
You can order some bits only, mainly bracelets, movements or inserts (such as CF) , and this depends on the TDs.
But most parts, reps and gens, can be found on platforms such as Ebay.
I started buying copies of the same watch from the same TD because it is too much of a pain to source the parts from the TDs. So, I own duplicates of Omega super reps. One gen bezel costs as much as one super rep of a watch anyways.
