Hey All,

Just wanted to post my first experience making a purchase of a Rep watch. I apologise if this isn't the right space. I recently bought a Carrera Classic Chronograph SS/LE from PerfectClones.

I'll start with the positives:

- Joshua is amazing. The communication from his side was nothing less than spectacular (typically less than 15 minute response times).
- The watch looks great. It's exactly what I was expecting in terms of appearance.
- Postage was incredibly fast - less than 2 weeks
- I've been offered an exchange

Negatives:
- The dials on the watch face either don't function properly or don't function at all. The 'hour' dial measures the minutes (i.e when the timer is started), and the 'minute' dial counts the hours (i.e. hand changes as the day progresses).
- The date counter doesn't change as a new day begins. It must be manually changed

It's possible that I missed something in the listing, but the functionality of the watch appears to be listed in the description. Is there anything in the listing that would make someone think that the watch doesn't perform correclty? I was told, after the purchase, that it's a 'light' version (possibly what 'LE' means in the name) of the watch and that I shouldn't expect all the functionality of the real watch. I mean, it makes sense that a watch that is cheaper probably doesn't function as well, but to not function at all?Wouldn't someone expect this all to be in the listing.

I have been offered an exchange, which is great, but I'm not sure whether it's worth spending another $50 on postage ($25 to send this one back and another $25 to have a different watch sent out).

I don't think I've ever heard of Perfect Clones? I'll have to look and verify but I'm fairly certain they are not a Trusted Dealer on RWI. If you buy from a Trusted Dealer on this forum our Mods will always back you up. I'm not sure what to tell you my friend. If they are a Trusted Dealer on this site I would contact a Mod for more assistance. Good luck.

100%. I made the purchase before finding this forum. I read a bunch of reviews about them online, and they were pretty positive. They're not a TD, but i didnt know TDs were a thing 😀

My original post wasnt supposed to be interpreted as me complaining. I kind of expected things not to be 100%. I just wanted to trial the system and leave my feedback. Im actually surprised they've offered an exchange. I fully acknowledge it was my fault. Im going to buy something from Chazingtime now that I know they're a TD.
