I am amazed that in this day and age it is taking four days at least for a reply from your replica watches company. I could fly out and buy one rolex replica uk and fly home quicker than you take to reply to emails and all I want to do hublot replica sale is place a rolex replica uk order, what is the problem. Its now over ten days since I last heard from you. I sent you the two omega replica sale order numbers that I require but you have not replied. why. I am sorry but I cannot place a replica cartier replica uk order with your company for further rolex replica uk because you are quite frankly. I know I will have to suffer the damaged hublot replica watches you sent me but I think it is better to lose on one than many.
