Hello. I am temptated by a Cartier Santos. Which saler did you buy yours? I have a basic question: when you buy a rep., how do you adjust a stainless steel bracelet because you obviously cannot go to the brand store. Thank you in advance. for your answer

Hello,
I decided to go with this dealer based on overall user reviews, process and noted quality controls.
PureTime Watches International - https://puretimewatch88.io
As far as bracelet sizing, I have my own link removal tools that can be found online as well as instructional videos which may help you with the process. It is easier than you may think. Assuming Rep. link are same as Org. this Vid shows you how easy it is Link Here.
You can also go to most jewelers that change watch batteries or sell other watches and have them link size any watch for you.

I suppose it is a bit boring for a viewer without some pictures.
QC photos edited - we do not post QC photos

Being new to the forum and not desiring to be tool, is it inappropriate to post these updates? I found them to be informative of the process and how the vendors manage their affairs from the process to even issues along the way and also after receipt of Rep and later defects. I would rather contribute positively to the community, than add more "yawn" material.

Long story short it's not banned but it's frowned upon.
It's the equivalent of going to a restaurant and before even being seated you are writing a review waiting in line that you have to wait too long to get into a restaurant.....
It should be that you buy the watch through the whole process and then write your review. If you have good or bad experience or waited long it's fine to have negative reviews but you should probably do it AFTER you have received the watch.
I have seen so many of these "diary" type threads devolve into a shit talk of the dealer or complain that they didn't get their watch fast enough blah blah blah. They use the running review as a weaponized threat against dealers instead of it's actual purpose. And then hide behind it when they get called out.
Additionally you produce many bums filling the 'new posts' section with half-way updates. You can easily summarize everything afterwards.
When you check Google reviews, you also expect complete reviews and not hourly updates. You don't go into *insert any service out there* and put them under pressure with a neutral review that you are there now.
