Like I said - Im sure your opinion is fantastic consolation to the people who have been worried they just lost their money for the last few months. I am also sure its easy to vouch for someone who has not taken YOUR money, but someone elses. Incidentally, I am not patting myself on the back - if you READ my post you quoted above, I actually praised Asim for fronting up and finally dealing with the issue. The fact is, this should not have happened in the first place - regardless of previous contribution. You are entitled to your opinion about whether my original post has made a positive contribution, but I note that PRIOR to my post this guy had been keeping quiet and was not replying to any of these unhappy customers. If it took an honest and unbiased observation from a newbie such as me who was under the understanding that the whole point of these forums was being able to trust people then so be it ! If that assumption on my part is incorrect, someone do please tell me. Incidentally, it is a complete cop-out to tell someone to "chill" when you disagree with their opinion; a meaningless and juvenile thing to say. I am perfectly chilled, however I am actively explaining my opinion supported with actual reasoning behind that rather than just making throwaway comments like "chill" !

Yes, lets all reach out a hand to someone who takes our money then ignores our communications for two months. All very "community oriented" rather than worrying about individuals getting shafted. Very easy to say if you are not the one who has been worrying all that time if someone has run off with their money. I'm sure the words "Its ok, I like him because in the past he has made positive contributions to the forum community" are fantastic consolation to someone who has forked out a couple of hundred dollars and got nothing in return for months, not even a reply to their emails asking whats going on ! Glad to know that its more important to have made lots of posts on here rather than trading fairly. The message that gives is "we dont care if you cant trust people on here because its more important that they have contributed a lot in the past - even if they are going through a period of difficulty at other peoples financial expense at the moment". And the easy to understand version of the above, just for the DEMSEY THE DOG; blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

If you consider yourself a dog, thats fine with me - though the dogs I have encountered are on the whole, better mannered. If you want to behave like a moron so be it.

Good on you Asim - I applaud your honesty. Please note I have not accused you of abusing your platinum membership (in case you thought that previous comment was aimed at you). You are correct, I do not know you, nor am I aware of previous contributions. However, previous contribution counts for nothing when this kind of situation arises. Whilst you may have given excellent service and communication to previous people, what is relevant is the situation now. I believe my post calling for your removal has contributed to you realising it is not acceptable to ignore people and treat them as you have recently, and has had a positive effect because you are now acting to resolve the issue as a result. Assuming you make good on your promises to make amends to your disappointed 'customers' then my opinion will undoubtedly change more positively

Would you care to explain your comment ? Just because I am new does not mean I cannot have an opinion ! The fact of the matter is - this guy has mucked people around without responding to their communications but having taken their money, for unacceptable periods of time. If you think that is acceptable then I would suggest you need a new playbook ! Do you feel it is OK for someone to take peoples money and then neither send them their product OR reply to their emails for 2 months plus Demsey ? I make no apologies for my post, which any reasonably person could see has absolutely nothing to do with being new to the site and everything to do with common decency. Being a "platinum" member does not give you the right to treat new members with derision either Demsey. Perhaps that is something you find difficult to perceive.

Asim, "out of respect" I think you should have kept up proper communications with the several people you have disappointed. I look forward to seeing a post soon, to the effect that you have either paid people back in full or provided them with working acceptable products. I am sure if you see them right then that will be an end of all this confusion and frustration. In future, if there is one in reps for you, I suggest you just let people know if you are having difficulties. Good on you for making a post at least though. Hopefully you are now busy contacting the relevant people and making favourable arrangements with them.

Hi, sorry to hear your problems - I dont know the guy as Im a noob but one thing I would say to everyone; 45 days is way long enough. NEVER let it go beyond a disputable situation with paypal if thats what you have used. Its your only protection ! Any trader deserves to be disputed if they make you wait that long, and I know the really reputable ones on here would agree and accept that. Of course, not knowing or thinking something has "happened" to someone can be a worry, but in this example it seems the guy has been logging on to the sites still on a daily basis and just ignoring contacts. So its not like he has had a heart attack or something ! There is, in my mind, no acceptable explanation for ignoring people regardless of the problem. The time has come for the administrators of this board and RepGEEK and Rep-Watch Info to suspend this traders' account and declare them UN-TRUSTED until such time they rectify these problems and redeem themselves. If we cant trust the TRUSTED TRADERS, who can we trust ? People use the info on these sites as a way of protecting themselves from fraudsters and if the site admins allow "traders-gone-bad" to remain then pretty soon people will distrust the site itself. Grim words, but I hope everyone agrees.

I prefer the 42mm version - the hands look more correctly sized because of the smaller diameter. I thought the capitalisation on the PO had been available for a while though - so nice to have that improvement. What movement is yours and what did you pay if we can ask ?

So come on guys / OP - if its a fake lets at least say why we think it is so noobs like me can know what to look for

Im new and trying to read the stuff put up for newbies but it seems lots of the links dont work ! EG links in toads guide to bwing a newbie , half of them dont go anywhere specific just back to forum main menu. And the first topic by admin that says "read this" just links bak to the home page.

For US$820 I'd expect three of them ! Its a nice lume though, but I think the price is way too high. Certainly for my budgets. Is there any reason for this pricetag ?
