Trusted Dealers using 'trusted factories'

[Deggy]

Firstly, a warm hello from the UK and thanks in advance for your helpful support.
I'm not entirely new to the site and ordered my first rep last year as a gift for my wife. After trawling through all the TD websites (those that have them) I found what I was after from only one TD site.(she wanted an uncommon Chanel)

I'm now looking to order one for myself but a much more popular model. (Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 42mm black waves ceramic bezel with date window at 6 o’clock on a black rubber strap)
My question is a simple one really. Assuming that all dealers are trusted and 'created equally', is the market incestuous? do they all shop from the same factories? And are all the factories that they order from created equally too? (Trusted factories, if that makes sense)

I'm struggling to find the right steera and although I'm happy to use any dealers as theyre trusted, I'd really like to know which factory has the best reputation for their production of this model?
Can someone advise or direct me to a forum that might be able to?
Really appreciate any time that you commit to helping me find my dream rep.
Deggy.

This thread might be useful to you, although it talks about the blue dial one.

@Route66. Mind blown at this link. Thanks for your time in sending across. It seems that on the one hand, members insist to newbies that these are replicas and differences should be expected and not to complain, but on the other, spend hours showing off how close theirs are to the gens.
So if I decide that I want mine to come from VSF (for example), I just need to find a TD that uses that factory or I ask if they can get it from that factory?
Thanks for your time and many thanks for the welcome, both.
Loving RWI.

If you are willing to pay enough attention to the listings on TD websites (choose the one you prefer from the TD section of this forum, never google them), you will notice that the factory is always clearly mentioned in the description
Indeed, price may vary depending on the factory.

Each factory has pros&cons: it's up to you to do your homeworks (read&learn, as I told you before ) and choose the one whose cons you can live with
Omega section is full of valuable information, take your time to browse through them.
At the end, you will be able to recognize the factory which made the actual watch you are looking at.

but on the other, spend hours showing off how close theirs are to the gens.

That extremely precious comparison was made by Steve (The One Watches), who is one of the TD here.

Last, I forgot: as on gens, I suggest to buy the watch on the steel bracelet and then buy the rubber strap as extra. You can find some decent ones also on AliX for ~ 20 £
