Interestingly, knowing that first raids on most of the factories, then covid, also the well-known quality of reps, which implies that anything can break in any watch at any moment, that factories do not monitor quality, and dealers can make a quick check, but give guarantees for further breakdowns, also, the fact that almost every watch is taken from the factory for your money and provided to you, and the price of 3 more of the same watches is never included in the extra charge in order to be able to replace everything that can fail for a reasonable annual period, sometimes 2 times.
And of course, the delivery time, which could always be (in my case, from 2 weeks to 15 weeks in the first covid heyday)
Anyone who has spent any time on this forum knows it all, read countless reviews like yours, and knows how it all ends.
If someone is not satisfied with these risks, he should not buy new rep watches, if he does, and even more so, he is ready to earn money on resale, he must understand the whole picture of the risk so that it does not happen, know and understand the mechanics of the problem, possible solutions and deadlines.
You seem to be a professional in trading, except with China, then you probably have an understanding that this is not a service and the goal is to make your money respected, but the wise management of the risks that you face, and which you completely or partially transfer to your client.
And a short study and communication on this site would give you enough information about these risks in order to form the right strategy.
For everyone to understand me correctly, I don’t think that answering a message for a month is good, that waiting half a year for QC is good, that it’s normal to see the clock dying after 3 days, but this is all a given. And it can be surpassed only by using time, personal flexibility, communication skills and the goodwill of the seller.
Good luck with your rep for watches to come.
Whatever it is, just remember that this situation is not pleasant, but not terrible. Maybe it will never happen again, or maybe everything will be much worse in the next order.
Anything can happen with the mechanics and organization, this or that seller can behave differently, but the main thing is that you are in order, no matter what happens.
