  1. When you care about quality and details, the best and most visible modding on your watch is an AR coating, and for that my man to go is Prof Steve. Not the first job and definitely not the last.

    Here we go ladies and gentlemen AR by rnrprof and watch dissected and put together by fleed

    Not meaning to hijack the thread, but what doe ARF stand for?

    ARF it´s the ¨name¨ of the factory. Probably A. and R. are the inicial letters from the first, last names of the founder. This is something recent from these latest two years when suddenly so many factories made same/similar models, that somehow we have to distinguish them and in the beginning was v1, v2, v3, but the orders were quite misleading as the latest v was not necessarily the best, and each month there was a new v, there were factories which were already had a kind of name or nickname, for example the Noob factory, which got the name from making beginner or noob watches formerly, than they started the top quality ones, and now we have these similar sounding ¨names¨ which are strange to us, but at least easier to distinguish

     

    Currently there are about 25 high end factories and not sure who makes up their names...

    I don't think many people use the chrono anyway and no one is gonna ask you to use it so if your not going to use it then go for ARF (I don't know if the BP has working chrono but ARF is the best looking and closest to gen)

    I am sure no one uses chrono, because it´s more like a decoration, even for the gen, it´s like the 5th button up on your blazer, it´s there, but you never use it

    I've personally updated your forum with your new address multiple times, as have others here. We're all here for each other, you need us as much as we need You, try think in those terms.

    Thanks, you are right. If anything I can do for the forum, let me know

    Toro I was under the impression that it was the dealers responsibility to update their sites. If you or any dealer is having a problem editing your area to update we are here to help but we are volunteers this is how you guys make a living hence it's the dealers responsibility to provide their customers w/ up to date access.

    Well, if it´s the dealers responsibility, you should give access to the control panel in the mod/admin level, and that is not OK. as it can be changed only from there. None of the links exposed are functional and outdated. 

     

    Mike, this was a suggestion because you asked for suggestions. The guys are volunteers, fine, it takes 3 seconds to change a link, and it haven´t been updated for years. 

     

    Again, it is a suggestion and if you like it this way, I am totally fine.

  5. I am sure this new forum it is much better for browsing if you learn how to use it properly, it has lots of new features and functions, but it is impossible to please everyone.

     

    From a vendor´s perspective from my experience, I´d say people don´t use social media to login to these kind of forums, specially Linkedin because for some people being in these forums is worse than getting caught watching porn.

     

    There should be a moderator on duty who helps to put TD´s website up to date in the section, I see that nobody cares and people just go to another forum to look for that info.

     

    Greetings everyone from the Great China!

  6. On the QC pictures that we have, it is obvious that the dent was not there. However this is not the issue for us, because even if I can prove that the watch was sent in perfect condition (see qc pics) I trust this buyer because he is a long time member in the forums and was buying many watches from me

    So analysing the situation I suggested him to send the watch to Spain and I dissect it and sell it spare parts, and either refund or send him new watch. I don´t think I can do better than this.

  7. They know that in order to be successful, firstly it has to be as close as possible to be 1:1, secondly it has to integrate in the right price range.

    Let me put it this way, with an example. Let's say a good Oris non chrono diver, no matter how good it is, cannot be more expensive than 250-300 maximum (the selling price to the final customer), otherwise it won't sell.

  8. Most of the buyers are from the forums. If somebody finds us on google, obviously they do a 3 second research and than all the rep forums pop up and they buy with more confidence.

    The factories are businessmen, if they see a potential model and they do the math it's just business. Just because you or we think that a specific model would be hot sell there is never a guarantee for that and it can be a fiasco.
