Fman basically hit it, Brand9 receives the watch from the factory, then it is sent to you from him.
Or for EU orders I beleive he said it is sent to office in Spain then sent to customer.

On the review...I really need the help of someone else. I really don't know Rolex that well. I can check the water resist, the finish, sharpness of edges, etc but I do not know YM or Rolex that well. Is there anyone else in Dallas on the board that know Rolex?

Hello,

Yes, that was exactly what i mean. Most of the dealer here in the U.S. acquire their watches from dealer in China, in which they have no control above the watches until the watch arrived to their customers place. We are stocking those watches in our warehouse over there, basically we could interact quicker to the market changes.

The yacht is covered by our guarantee, if you are not satisfied with that, plz met know and make a return for full refund. Return address is U.S based.

No drop ship....drop ship is defined as:
"The shipping of a product directly from the manufacturer to the customer without requiring inventory carrying by the retailer."

I assume what B9A means when he says no drop ship is these come from "his" people in China. The tracking number I have states the origin is China.

On the flaws outlined above....I hope it's better than the pics. I am not a rollie expert by any means so I did not pick up on the shortcomings. As stated I will post many high res pics (best I can with no polorizing filter) when I get the watch. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This thing better be tighter than dicks hat band for water too. $308.00 aint cheap.

So I beleive that I was wrong, you dont get it in LA then ship to customer?

It leaves .. your warehouse in China to the customer?? Please verify

:D Me Likey! BIG plus having US return address!

I just want to be sure that the money spent is spent well, that's all. I passed on a WBK YM for $95.00. I'm sure this one is a much better version, just want to be certain. Thanks

I'm not an expert but simple things to check...I believe it should have the fat hands, and should have tick marks under the 6, and on the bezel there should be some space below the numbers and inside edge of bezel. The bezel on most reps will not have any space or not enough space there. So just a few things to look at!!!!! Swing by the Rolex home page and you will see what I mean! :wink:

Oh yeah....it should say Rolex on the dial not Polex or Exlax!!!!!!!! [smilie=sign10.gif]

All of his pictures have the "Perfect Clones" watermark. What is the affiliation between these two dealers I wonder?

Isn't Brand9Avenue's statement about watch servicing on the prefect or ulitmate versions, identical to both Andrew and Josh's statements?

The entire site is basically Andrews site- word for word and the exact photos photoshopped-

the Macs site is basicaly Joshs' site with- oddly enough- the word "Clones" cloned out in photoshop.

Oh the horror...

That is were my concerns start.

I have Andrew's Perfect Sub, and I am prepared to accept that the service and mods done to the watch are as described. After all, Andrew and Josh are trusted dealers and are known for their innovation when offering watches with added value. Davidsen is of course, the leader in this field.

My Sub from Andrew is exceptional and there is no question the movement runs smoother than non serviced/oiled eta mechanisms I have.

Simply copying their websites and offers is no guarantee that these 'extra' mods and service will be done.

Good luck to Brand9, but the jury is out for me, until such time as there are product and service reviews.

Hold on to your pantyhose.

there are a few members that have bought watches from him and post reviews this coming week when the watches start to arrive. Dont judge until you have have informationto judge from.

You want to hear from the horses mouth. Ask Brand9av, he has dealer section and answers to Pms. I am one of the forum members awating a watch from him and willingly gave him a chance on his proving the quality of his watches. lets see what the reviews say.
