Reps in Turkey?

A good friend of mine is going on a European Cruise this week, and one of the stops is Turkey.

While me and him have spoken in length about good TD’s, this group and others, he’s still insistent that he’s getting a watch in Kusadasi, knowing that he’s going to pay more but is happy to as they’re “better than the Asian clones”.

I know he’ll read this, so any advice people can share here to either help if he really is going to or maybe even persuade him not to, and go through a TD from this forum instead would be great.

Maybe he’s right? Ive always had the view that you’re paying for a storefront and that the products really aren’t that good, tell me if I’m wrong.
