So I came to the forums as it seems to make more sense to buy from vetted sellers on here or am I crazy? Now I maybe wrong but hoping the experts can tell me if I am looking in the right direction.

Interested to hear the community thoughts.

Shreve and co. is top notch. They’re on post just off union square. They haven’t had a blnr in quite awhile but I lucked out in June by asking (it was in their safe). If Mario is on the floor he’s phenominal. Loves gmts (he wears a beautiful coke version). You do have to ask. Even after four years, they say no blnr lasts more than a day or two and usually hours.

Good luck!

P.S. don’t go anywhere near Tourneau. They know zero about watches and cheated me badly on a botched service — they broke my YM and refused to fix it after lying about it. Over $800 down the drain. They are dishonest cheats.
