I placed my order with Andrew earlier in May and am now the proud owner of one pretty cool rep. Andrew was awesome through the entire process, always quick to answer questions and very efficient.
So here’s a few things that I’ve learned about buying a rep:
1) These are reps, don’t expect a gen. As awesome as they have become do yourself a favor and don’t expect the full monty for 1/25th the price to compare in every single tiny detail. I’m very happy with my purchase, my NOOB even feels like my gen, on my wrist or even how the crown and pushers feel identically hefty and satisfying to screw/unscrew.
2) Expect to wait up to a month to get your watch, be thankful if you get it in 2 or 3 weeks like I did. This is the nature of the beast, you’re buying a rep, and its coming from halfway around the world, and any TD is trying to not get your watch “held-up” by timing shipments/change of shipping methods. This ain’t Prime, this ain’t Alibaba, try to be patient, even if its hard and it will pay off. Packages now can be held in warehouses for up to 2 weeks before leaving the country.
3) Communication, communication, communication, that’s what I look for in any seller and you get that with Andrew in spades. He’s a great seller and he’s quick to answer which made me feel confident that I would get my watch even if I wanted it yesterday.
From my one buy from Andrew I’d say I was very pleased with his service and the watch itself, I’ll certainly buy from him if I buy another rep.
