how to compare dealer offers

[frogman]

good advice jcm. I've purchased 2 UPO's from andrew and both were top notch....I've dealt with andrew before and I know if I had a problem he would take care of me. I have dealt with other dealers and had great luck also. send a pm to the dealers you are interested in buying from and go from that.

good luck

I'll add my opinion here - there is so much variance between watches and reps/particular runs, its almost futile to try and compare watch to watch, dealer to dealer. You can do it with a specific watch, sure, but there is not one watch completely unique/perfect to a specific dealer.

Find the dealer you like, meaning you are comfortable with their quality, shipping, communication and prior sales record and you'll be a-ok!

So if it is the forums opinion that it is useless to compare a particular rep from dealer a to that from dealer b than what is the use of reviewing reps. The only thing you than could conclude in a review is that once dealer a had that particular rep. If you would want that rep than chances are slim you could get it.

Still... how should one pick a dealer?
I can imagine they all have particular characteristics. Dealer a is good at servicing. Dealer b has mostly more expensive but flawless reps. Dealer c has mostly cheaper reps but still good quality....
Wonder why dealers are not reviewed in a way for instance it is done on ebay (customers satisfaction in particular areas). Or is that 'not done'?
