I just found this ebay store which sells accessories for watch:
bracelet, watch band, bezel inserts, clasps, hands and crystals that can be use on both rep and gen watches (mostly Rolex and Omega)

http://stores.ebay.com/WHOLESALEOUT...sop=1&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1513&_vc=1&_pgn=8

It maybe a good place to get spare parts without spending big money on Gen parts.
Those parts are unmarked perhaps to avoid being reported as counterfeits. However, it is a good place for bezel, extra links and also crystals as there are no markings on them in the first place.

This was posted in the Rolex sub-forum

I believe they have a bit of a reputation with the modders. I know the chaps on rwgforum.com have pretty much boycotted him. Not heard specifics, just general unease at the products and their quality.

they've been around a long long time. Nothing new with them. Yes, some say they have a reputation (a not so good one) and the owner is sometimes referred to as Mr. Slimeball in some of the forums.

Personally I have never had bad dealings with them.

I've bought from wholesaleoutlet, had to return items, but it was a mix up anyone can make.

In terms of rep bracelets and parts, Ken at raffles-time helped me out with a President bracelet. Just ask him in an Ebay message for the signed,logo stuff.

There are a few more that I have saved but those two are the primary ones.

Sorry I don't know the link was posted before. I just found it when I was browsing ebay so I think it may be good to share with others.
Did he actually don't mind doing the markings for u?

I believe he has a limited stock of parts, including signed parts. He can't advertise the signed ones on eBay,of course, but as long as he has them, ask him and he'll sell them. There's another thread on RWG that evaluates the quality of his SS Jubilee bracelets. I think his President bracelets are better.

Ken is a really correct seller, fast and helpful answers.
I can´t count - how often i´ve dealed with him and there was never something wrong.

Ok there are f. e. other seller´s, who offers the presi-b. for a lower price, but you will get a really cheap bad clasp (not the one which is listed, i´ve checked 2 other seller´s) and the endlinks are 19,7 mm, that looks really bad. At least these low produced presi´s have 8 and 10 links + the links you can remove, the bad clasp construction needs on top +2 links more as the standard. therefore i had to break out links and drill greater lugs to fit the bracelet for a mates small wrist ... in the next step. i´ve purchased any normal presi-clasps from ken ...

That´s of course no promotion for him, only my bad experience and an advice not to buy the cheapest bracelets - they are really not good. And when you would still buy them, just make an offer - you will get 3 for the price of 2 in this useless quality = approx. 30,- $ free shipped.

The minral DJ crystal´s are not marked and fits strong in the gasket!

The president bracelet I bought from Ken is quite good; of the same quality I'd expect on a high end rep. Perfect amount of links/removable links. I'm very happy. I paid $26 shipped.

Kerbus, you have a point. I think we see eye to eye, that it´s a good source. Unfortunately the new style Jubi-b. f.e. will be offered with a littel discount and at least a little bit lower as the price of slimeball. Maybe the manufacturers regulate the market distribution or there are just not enough competitors. In my view the new style b. are overprized with reference to the production process and in relation to the old style models.

The only sources I am aware of that offer the logoed version of the newer,heavier jubilee bracelets with hidden clasp are our rep dealers. Watcheden and Silix are the only two I recall actually having them listed on their sites. Yeah, probably not as many sources to get this style as opposed to the classic Jubilee with buckle, so yeah, probably the higher cost in turn.
