Hi im Greg from the Netherlands,
Two weeks ago I received my Tag Heuer 2016 Aquaracer Quartz from Repsource. I own quite some reps at the moment: highend, medium end and low end. (Subbie v6s from noob, a IWC patrouille suisse from ZF, a tag carrera space x quartz and a omega James Bond 21j)
First of all;
The guy from Repsource is a nice guy and is easy to do business with! He is in the EU (still... Brexit...) and therefore it is easier to pay him. I dont have to go to a WU and have to make up a whole story.
The does take the extra step for his customer, I ordered the Tag aquaracer with the black bezel, but it was not in stock since there were some parts missing. So i asked him if i could get a blue one (the blue color seemed slightly of compared to gen, but i liked the design of the watch), but later he send me a message; Hey buddy, I got you a black one, managed to get a black one together! So that was great service that i did not expect! And after i missed the mailman a couple of times, i finally picked it up and i was happy with my received package!
Then the opening ceremony, I invited the mayor of the city, but since he was short on time, I had the honor of opening it myself! The watched looked beautiful! The case is beyond expectations, and everything feels well!. I even took the liberty to peek through the window of my local jeweller, and it looks damm close, for a watch in this price range! (The obvious tells are there ofcourse, like the hour work etc, but still! And some smaller details such as the timer at 12 that counts 60 minutes, while it actually says 30 minutes)

So i tried to turn the bezel, first i thought it was glued stuck, but when i looked closer the endlinks were touch the bezel. The bezel runs smoothly when the bracelet was detached. That was a bit of a bummer... So i thought to my self what can i do about this? I came up with 2 options; leather or sand down the endlinks so they fit. Now the true purists might want to stop reading now, and there is some slight graphic content underneath here, because i sanded down the endlinks! And now the bezel can rotate freely! Hooray for me! Oh wait i did a terrible job, and the finish is rough.... hmmm... Maybe i should still oder a leather strap, because the case deserves a better bracelet. The bracelet quality does not match the case, the case is high quality and higly finished and the bracelet is slightly sharp, slight rust stains in the clasp, in my honesty i think it is badly finished is for jewellry. But hey, it does not cost the world, so what could i expect?! Even with the bad bracelet, it is still an awesome deal! Therefore i give it 4**** out of 5*****!
I would reccomend repsource for people in the EU! The communication and services are great, and i am looking forward towards my next purchase!
