@pamfried, My remark was about the price not about the dealer. Remember this is the discussion thread dude not the dealers section..I have dealt with Josh before and he is one of the best for sure.

why has no one asked the important question... why is it that they can take a bulgari... break it down... replicate it so closely (except for engraving) that you need the gen next to it to compare.... but then we still have subs with bad crown guards out of the gate? not too mention the rest of the flaws....

although i appreciate the effort it took to get the bulgari this close.... it would have been awesome to get a more popular watch closer to gen than they are now.... i would love to see the Navi finally be brought up to where it should be.....

This week I tried on this very watch at the Bvlgari store which is arounf the corner from me and it is a gorgeous, large watch. Beautiful design and until it is on your wrist, I don't think it can be judged correctly. Needless to say, this watch is on the way to me now, being the next member of my collection. This is a great rep.

I think Josh's white lies are becoming a little darker day by day.
I am 99% sure the watch presented as gen is NOT a gen.
Is not only about general finish quality (wich is clearly very low for Bulgary high end standards. Please check yourself at an AD if you don't have a gen bulgary watch or jewel), but also I can't see the very STRONG AR wich the gen has, can't see the dark silver rodium markers or hands, and can't see the satin (almost brilliant) dial of the gen.

Luisik, the statement youn make is so far off base that you have got to be high on crack. I spoke to Andrew and they purchased this watch, which can be bought wholesale for 2500.00 and then they copied it. Simple as that. No agenda no white lies, just a straight forward business deal. I bought one and it is on the way. Having tried on the gen at the Bvlgari store, I will then give my informed opinion based on fact, not heresay and conjecture as our friend in the powdered wig seems so fond of spouting.

Quite right. Joshua and Andrew have a connection to the gen watch trade. So they can get the real deal at a discount... and have it torn down and replicated for our delectation and delight. Cute.

Hi,

Please take your accusations else where....

The watch is dissected to pcs for replication.. It is now in a worn out state.... If simply by looking and without tampering the watch .. you can replicate a watch to this detail... the maker does not need to buy a genuine to do so.

Watch your comments..

Thanks

They make it on a strap and it looks great also. As mentioned before, it would be so much better here if people showed just a little bit more respect for others taste. One mans diamond is another mans turd and in matters of taste there is no argument. Some people need to learn that when you deride someone elses taste and choice, that it accomplishes nothing but bad feelings.

The members of this forum who show the most class are those who respect their fellow members choice in watches and support and encourage their decision to buy whatever floats their boat.
