    Sorry guys.............. whats RT's poll ???

    Click here - Silix offered to buy a gen and give it to the producers so they can make an perfect rep. The first time the watches had to fullfill some specs but now Silix is interested in more suggestions without limitations...

  4. Andrew & Josh's Response To The Little White Lies Thread...

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Just curious and really not trying to start anything but....I personally have dealt almost exclusively with one of the mentioned dealers here and personally haven't had any issues with the products I've received over 30 watches. I feel I got what i paid for and any issues along the way were resolved in a professional manner. Now I don't claim to be an expert on watches, I know a little to me it's always been about how accurate the rep is. Maybe I see through the advertising wording...Maybe I don't put much value on words such as 1:1, Sapphire, ETA...Maybe I don't care. After all these are fake watches right? Most people that are buying are taking $200-$300 that they could have purchased a citzen or seiko and decided they would rather have a knock off of something they most likey cannot afford or don't want to pay for.

    Who is so honest in selling fake illegal products, giving you're money's worth and providing good service after the fact?

    This board is great for information and for each buyer to learn and absorb as much as they can or want to.

    For me it's an huge difference how much i pay for a watch. The factor of the price per watch is in my eyes most dependend on the movement inside. You can buy a fake Ferrari for a certain amount - now you put an engine of an real ferrari in or the on of a toyota. Both cars are looking the same but their performance is totally different. As mentioned already by certain members in the main thread most watchmakers refuse to work on Asian movements.

    The replica forum board is a minorty for both of these dealers sales. The reason that we are unfolding these 'white lies' is due to our interest in watches. To the everday person who buys one replica watch to impress, it would make no difference. This is who the marketing is aimed at, they are stretching the application of descriptions.

    I personally think that when new watches are advertised on this board, in their dealer section, they should tell us exactly what we are getting.

    I wouldn't sign that. In my opinion most sales are made between the dealers and the members of on of the rep-boards! How many of us had only found one of the dealers websites? - I guess not even 0,1%.

    If you look for an rep you'll find primary the scam sites afterwards RWG-1, which will lead to RWG-2, TRC or RWI and also to the dealers...

    Andrew just changed his website - seems not too smart for someone who's selling most of the stuff to surfers who just find the site by mistake... i'm sure only a small percentage is sold via their websites - i see their websites as costumer service for the members here...

    As we're still in the process of discussing the situation and the best solution for the future we rate different options we have - but as JTB posted already we'll take care of this problem and try to work something out that similar things wouldn't happen again.

    First of all welcome here - have a great time :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    Hello and welcome.

    I am not sure if you are able to see the dealers section without being a paying member.

    If not, become a member, because the dealers on the board are awesome and trustworthy.

    Have fun!

    The dealer area is also vivible for Newbies ;)

  15. Group Buy From Jimmyzfu?

    in The Panerai Area

    Posted

    So we are at:

    Thor: 4

    avitt: 3

    chieftang: 5

    Tom: 1

    kruzer00: 5

    olga: 2

    sssurfer: 10

    Total: 30

    What do you think about I ask Jimmy to sell 30 pieces at $150 + s/h?

    s/h from Jimmy to Italy is $18. So, the final price to all members would be 168/30 = $5.6/ea (+ s/h from Italy).

    If this is ok to you, gimme your green light and I'll enquire Jimmy.

    Should any other member offer to make the buy and the shippings to the other buyers, he is welcome.

    Actually, I bought one of the 'previous' crystals from Jimmy and I could touch with my hands its quality (even if not sapphire as declared). Harder to scratch than ordinary glass, rich in heavy metal, and completely free from inclusions -- differently from, e.g., the crystals that x-jewelry was once selling on eBay @ about $10.

    (BTW, it now is on my 028A while waiting for a sapphire replacement for the crystal that my watchsmith ruined, and it is working great).

    I feel that missing this occasion at this price would be a shame.

    30 crystals is a good number so far...ask Jimmy if he's willing to sell 30 - if not i'll take additional 5 so we have 35... i'm sure the 5 crystals left could be sold easy within the next time... if the interest is higher than the 5 crystal we have left than my additional 5 crystals could be shared within the interested parties... hope this helps to do the deal

    Marco-

    I am good for five. I have no idea whether they will work but at that price - who cares. :thumbsupsmileyanim: Is someone going to buy these and then distribute?

    Yeah... i would say when we got interests for 35 crystals one of us will buy them and send them out to the other members...

    An suggestion of mine would be:

    That the lot will be shipped where the most crystals are needed... Europe/USA/Australia to safe shipping costs. Afterwards a lot per continet should be sent to an trusted member involved in this deal who's willing to forward the crystal to other buyers... if we are only a small group of buyers i would suggest to ship the crystals directly...
