Any MIAMI Rep dealer or store?

[horologik]

Going to Miami next week, just wondering if anyone knew where I can find good reps?

Thanks

You can find some very nice reps in our trusted dealers section, which I assume works even from Miami.
Good luck in your search, though! :cute:

LOL! Good one Roger! But hes been here since June so he should know the dealer section by now. I suspect he is looking for a Miami "flea market" or something where they might have several to look at in person.

Didn't mean that I could order from in Miami, actual "stores" that I can buy in.
Like in NY

You got it COOP. I have ordered from Hont and D4Me several times already.

Thanks guys

I was joking.

 

[horologik]

I know you were joking Levelmanroger.
I also know our dealers have the best stuff.
Just wondering if I could find anything while I was there and bypass the wait and customs!
Thanks for the info Ewatch, i guess I will just stick to the bars.

I have yet to find anything here in Stl. either. There is a guy here in town selling reps on craigslist, but they are the cheap crap. And he sells them for like $100-200 each.

I met him once and showed him my UN Blue Surf and shat a brick over it.

I grew up in Miami and have lived in South Florida for over 40 years and I've never heard of anybody selling reps.

I've lived from Daytona to Ft. Lauderdale and never heard of a rep dealer anywhere along the FL east coast.

 

[horologik]

Thanks guys! Maybe I could sell some of my reps in Miami!

Or west coast for that matter!

Miami / FT Lauderdale is not a good area to buy rep watches because law enforcement has pursued dealers very aggressively. They even created a counterfeit task force at one time, which was very active. Owning or buying one or two reps is not illegal, but selling them is. Buying with the intent to sell or in quantities valued at more than $1000 is also illegal.

Rep watches have not been popular in Miami, but rep designer handbags, sunglasses and women's clothing are sold by individuals all the time. Again, not from stores; the sellers usually know the buyers or are referred to others by known customers, mostly women. Oddly enough, genuine and fake Cuban cigars, both of which are illegal, have resulted in more arrests than rep watches. Selling Cuban cigars even got one Miami cop arrested and fired.

I've seen people selling rep watches, but these are individuals selling one on one to people they know. Again, most of the times is women who usually sell handbags and clothing that offer rep watches for their customers' husbands. There are no shopping areas like in NYC or LA where merchants offer reps for sale to just about anyone walking by.

Miami is good if you're looking for good prices on gen watches. The Seybold Building and many other jewelry stores in downtown Miami are great places to purchase gens at very good prices. Bargain a bit from the first quoted price because dealers are very slow now and they are motivated to sell.
