@knockoutpleasure you've already been provided useful information in post #6 by @Reaps

Steve or any other dealer do not "produce high quality" watches. Factories do and it's up to you to decide if a factory suits you better than another one. Dealers will sell you what you ask for, they all have access to the same watches.

And now please don't continue down your confrontational path, it's pretty clear you do not know how this forum works ("I'm pretty popular" is a standard signature assigned by the forum algorithms, @MaximillianGT has nothing to do with it). If you knew, you would understand why you're being answered this way. It's because it doesn't look like you want to put some minimal effort into your own research yourself.

It's quite amazing that you've made every mistake in the book so far. You've received direction and still keep licking your own feet. At this point you have nothing left but to insult other members. You won't be around here for long. Keep going.....
I did get help yes. From other members that actually contribute to the forum instead of trolling others like you do all day as I can see from your comments. I mean it’s like 7am in SoCal dude and you wake up first thing in the morning to troll some more. Don’t dish it out if you can’t handle getting it back. Simple.

Keep showing us your lower limit. We love good newbies, but every once in a while, low-level clowns like you are also welcome. Afterall who doesn't like free entertainment?

Let's keep doing this so that the mod can move this to the looney bin.

Listen high school boy. I'm a Sr Executive for a company and I like to set an example for my workforce by being the first one in the office everyday. I do more by 7 am than what you'll do in a month. Maybe when you grow up, you'll understand that. You're obviously not a well educated person.

I don’t even know how to respond to that

I’ve actually had plenty of help from others. I’m good now. But this thread is too fun.

Did you? Doesn't really look like you acknowledged that, on the contrary, you criticized almost each single answer here.
Like most new member threads go, there's always two ways they go. One is they immediately get defensive when called out on it, or two is they accept that they know nothing and start their rep journey. We can see how this thread has gone. I give it 2 weeks before the complaints start rolling in about how he's waiting too long for QC.

And all of this could have been saved if OP did the 10 minute introduction reading that members are literally forced to go through when they join. But he won't acknowledge how he skipped that reading because that would hurt his ego too much.

Because they weren’t answers, they were trolling comments. Why wouldn’t I respond? Go back and read. I had maybe one useful comment from Reap. Besides that it’s just the same stuff.

So @Reaps was useful and your "acknowledgement" was this:
and pretty typical to get comments like this instead of actual useful advice but thanks anyways
I guess he should be grateful for your very polite gratitude.

What I hoped I would get is a “I had a good experience with this…” or “this factory has the best quality..” Would’ve been more helpful. That’s what I would’ve done.
Yes, helpful until the next time you fancy a new watch and come back asking the same questions instead of putting some work finding out how the forum works, how the rep world works, how the rep business works. Everyone just doing the work for you.
Here you go:
- BVF
- any trusted dealer

And I'll throw in a caveat: if you're not happy with what you get, don't come back complaining because your standardsand tastes are different than the next guy's.

Thanks. But I was asking for personal experience. Like if somebody asked me, I would give them the dealer I went though, the factory they sourced the rep from, and why I thought it was better quality than the rest. Open a discussion about it. I was asking because I’m willing to spend the money on a better rep, and even was wondering if there was a next tier to super clones. It was a genuine curiosity. I thought this was the best place to ask that question. I have looked in other forums and haven’t found the answer to the specific question I was asking. I’m sure it’s probably out there but I thought it’d be easier to just start a new conversation about it. Again, thought this was a forum where people can do that. You’re right, I probably will not come back and ask questions again. I’ll try RepTime on Reddit or something with a more responsive community. The TrustedDealers links has been the most useful thing. I got my first rep from there and it was a great experience. Great watch.
