The more and more I see the Oris the more I want one. Does anyone know the best place to buy a Rep?

Thank You In Advance.

:thinking: Oris, good question. I'd check Pure Time and Timeshops websites for that one and also send a pic of what you want to MarvellousrReplica to ask if he can source one.

Thanks! Puretime had a limited selection. Not sure which one I want yet?

Pay no attention to the dealers' web sites. They have absolutely no relevance to what the dealer has or can get.
Always find pics of what you want (either gen pics or pics from another dealer) and send to 2 or 3 of your chosen dealers and see if they can get it and what it will cost.
State up front that you want QC pics for approval prior to shipping.
Don't pay extra for "Swiss" anything.
Don't buy the cheapest model available.
Buy the dealer - not the watch.

Good luck!

I have been lurking on the forum for a while and have been looking around all TD's websites. What do you mean by this? You mean not even buy the watches with swiss movements?

Very few dealers can tell if what the wholesalers have sent actually is a Swiss MVT and even if it is quite often you will get a refurbished MVT rather than new. It's best (IMHO) to get the Asian ETA clone which is a lot cheaper and a great MVT.

try Mary @ watch international

I confirmed with her recently that she was able to source the Pro Diver with bracelet and/or rubber strap - approx $150

she is not a TD on RWI but is on RWG
