Great to see all the recent support for Andrew (Trusty). Hope you've noticed that Arch, and if I may so, Sir, you did not say in an earlier post that Andrew "took" $120 from you. What you said was that Andrew "stole" $120 from you, thereby labeling him a thief on this respected forum. While you certainly did not like the fact that I called you on it, hopefully this matter has now been concluded to your complete satisfaction. I wasn't going to let you get away with implying that a respected dealer is a thief and I'm certainly not going to let you get away with writing that you never said it in the first place. Now that the matter is concluded, using your terminology, perhaps you'll have the "balls" to apologize to Andrew in writing on this board. "What I said was he took $120 from me" NO! What you said was that the $120 was "stolen" by Andrew.

Thanks so very much for the clarification, Arch. Guess the next move is up to old Trusty---Huh? Since you've called him a thief publicly, no doubt he will respond immediately. Best regards, Pard

Thank you, Ken. Please let me apologize profusely to any that I have offended. As a "noob", I did not realize that a "respected member" could call a dealer a thief without contradiction. Now I understand. Sorry!

Kenberg, Just one last question, please. Way off the mark to take up for a trusted dealer when an experienced poster calls him a thief---in print? Surely, I've missed something here! Thanks for the clarification.

Don't need a lecture, Cucumber. Actually joined today so as not to let Archibald get away with his ridiculous accusation since you "experienced" guys were. Andrew deserves better from all you guys who he has treated very very well. By the way, you want to talk about credibility. Well, like yourself, Archibald appears to be a very "experienced" poster. Doesn't seem to stand in the way of falsehoods. By the way, fishermen use trolling motors to catch fish, not forum members. One doesn't have to be a member very long to simply tell the truth.

Cucumber---Simply responding to Rolexman's question (??) Archibald's assertion speaks for itself. You may choose to believe it, but I think most of Trusty's customers don't believe he would steal from any of us. I completely agree with dcrooz's post.

Full context of Archibald's earlier post: "Please. Andrew knows the gramtical function of "inverted commas" but he doesn't know the definition of the word "perfect?" I'm perfectly willing to (and do) cut dealers all they slack they could reasonably want, and I wouldn't have gone after andrew if this were an isolated incident (and probably not at all if he hadn't stolen $120 from me) but anyone who's been here more than a month knows he's always calling some watch 99.9% or 1:1 or ultimate or perfect when in fact, not only it isn't any of those things, but even when objectively better versions are available." Those of us who deal with Andrew simply don't believe this accusation. Not for one minute!

(and probably not at all if he hadn't stolen $120 from me) Archibald, your libelous accusation about Andrew from an earlier post---Most of on the board simply don't believe it! How's that????? Best wishes!
