So let me get this straight. You TDs or the Maker buy an actual Hublot, Rolex, Breitling and break it apart, rep each component and then manufacture it. :O Angus, can you explain how the watch is damaged and can't be sold to recoup the value?

I know it's old but very informative read.

I've been a member here a couple of years. After a lot of reading. I finally pulled the trigger and placed an order here. As a new guy I may have needed a bit more hand holding. It was graciously provided. Frantically awaiting my first!

Thank you that was very informational and an interesting read.

A lot of watches on your website are labeled as "Best edition". Can you explain what this means? Obviously I understand what "Best edition" means litterally but sometimes I see several watches of the same type with different manufacturers and they are all labeled "Best edition".

I'm a newbie here on the forum and have been intrigued by the information provided in many of the posts. After ready much about the rep industry and about the TD's , and finding Angus' informative post I thought this would be a fun, enjoyable group to join. Thank you to all in guiding this newbie into a new world. The overwhelming confidence and character shown towards TD's and especially Angus and Puretime has allowed me with the greatest confidence to begin this hobby and purchase a Hublot from Puretime.
Thanks to all for your insightful information.
