Viennawatch

I'm with TTK, all the way. Grahams are amazing watches. Other than the TAG Monaco Chrono, the G. Chronofighter is one watch I want to buy as a genuine. I love these behemoths.

I use my submariner as a gym beater, people have noticed it, one guy obnoxiously stared at it once and he seemed to know his [censored] because he was wearing a PAM 112. Whether it was a gen, I have no idea.. Then again there was also that one copper with a fake breitling, haha..

Shows you how much some people just want to strip every last penny off of you! I wonder if he is aware of RWG, because if he does become aware of us, he may drop his prices!

I'm happy to have found RWG way before I ever ventured off to Thailand!

I've also tried this, plus I believe since most of the watch companies will be station in Switzerland, you'll also need to speak one of the three national languages. I've also tried with the Swatch Group and Panerai. No success. They even called me and acted interested and asked me lots of questions, but then at the end however, they said they couldn't offer me anything as there is nothing available... Sigh...

Hey TWP, I was similarly surprised at this because I first noticed this when getting my PO from PT. You can read all about it in my post: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=57283 PT sent all his 2842 stock back to have them replaced with 2824-2s. Hope you can solve this issue!

Awesome! PTs a good guy who's got quality reps!

delete... me and these double posts! whats wrong with me today?!

In fact, here's the Archimede website for anyone who is interested! http://www.archimede-uhren.de/EN/Collection.htm

I'd definitely go for this. Its got that IWC pilot look! Its about 900 dollars I believe. Archimede Pilot Chronograph

Ahhh ok, my bad! Well its good to hear that you are getting your PO replaced as well! Feels good huh? I can't wait to get my new PO! Ya I was told the same about it being a mix up at the factory! I'm so glad we've got a guy like PT, taking care of our interests! Do let me know when you receive your PO and how it compares to the 2842! Regards, VW

You are partially right about that, I haven't been following it entirely, but I have to some extent, sorry for the inappropriate use of words.

You're right rc11co, people can talk all they want, but it won't change a thing if they don't actually support their talk with actions. I admit it was a mistake on his part to have "fled" RWG. He should have just told everyone right there and then that he was having a bit of trouble and that things would be slow on his part, instead of grabbing the next flight out of RWG, would have made it a lot better for everyone and he could have sparred himself this debacle. However what happened happened and now he is apologizing. You can't expect him to immediately repair what he has damaged; he should start repairs NOW or ASAP, but it will DEFINITELY take time. Although I did say we have to give this some time in my last post. Sorry for maybe not making clear sense, but what I meant was, we will have to wait and see if he will really support his words with actions. "Sure we will need to give it some time, whether it was his fault or not, situations like these always require time for everyone to trust again." However, I stick to what I said, if he DOES make things right, we SHOULD reevaluate our position towards him. He DID make the first move to try and repair things with this post, if he were a scammer, why would he get himself entangled in an apology... To try and get the people's trust and then rip them off again? Call me naive if you want, but it just doesn't make sense to waste your time like this. I believe there are a lot more people out there getting scammed on bestswissrepever.com kind of websites than compared to the people who are on RWG and with the knowledge he has, he could definitely make a lot more money scamming people that way than here on RWG. If a lot of you folks are adamant on your position about Mark, it won't change a thing anyways, he wouldn't get far or away with anything on RWG and I think he knows that and we all do as well. Anyways, I just hope that Mark is true to his words and that he will truly try his best to make reparations to those who need it. Regards, VW

Both Gen and Rep are sooo damn sexy!

Its NOT just about a short apology. Sure it may have sufficed for YOU guys, but this long post needed to be written for Mark to clear his own mind. Plus, mentioning the people who pointed the stink finger at him in my opinion was a necessary and useful move on his part. Most of whom are long standing and respectful members, it will give him and us a little more indirect personal info about these people. Such as, are they going to read his post and apologize for their rash comments or are they just going to ignore his post due to either embarrassment or continuation of their beliefs about Mark. Remember, it takes a lot of guts to go up front against dozens of people who are accusing you of being a thief, scammer, or whatever and then making apologies. Now I believe its time for all those who did comment badly about him, to come up and reevaluate their position on Mark. If Mark, really WAS just having a hard time and did make some honest mistakes, then there is no reason not to trust him. Sure we will need to give it some time, whether it was his fault or not, situations like these always require time for everyone to trust again. However for some reason, I'll have a hard time trusting those who almost made Sashimi out of Mark with their comments and don't end up reevaluating their positions with facts and justified comments. Just my two bit comments which are not out to get anyone, just trying to evaluate the situation. VW

I see you are trying to use the movement in your PO for another rep! Best of luck!

I think you are right about the price drive part.

Definitely my PAM 183

May you be saved by the devil of watch addiction!

Indeed, not much you can do... :S sigh... I'd spend that money on a genuine from an AD rather than randomly shell it out on things you may BELIEVE are genuine, especially when its from ebay...

Best of luck Slai, hope everything works out there! Its a real pain in the [censored] when something like this happens.

Dude, Ceaser, no offense, but is there something wrong with you? First the VC and now the Rolex? I mean sure its your bloody money, you can really do whatever you like with it, but what ever happened to, ask the forum before you actually "PURCHASE," a "genuine" on ebay? Sure you can keep this up and hope to get your money back through disputes every time, however the longer you keep doing this the less likely you will get your money back at some point in time and then you'll be whining and complaining about it. And we would have said, told you so. However, this is your choice really... Just my 2 cents. Regards, VW

hehehe

Why don't you use the search function or read through the posts yourself? Generally its been said that the UPO from Josh and Andrew are the best, however its really up to you to decide which one is best. Go to the Watch Collector Galleries, look through the threads, PM these dealers for details. Then once you know who sells them, go to the Trade Review section and make sure you read through the reviews to get your own impression. Just so you KNOW what you are really buying. However, like I said, Andrew and Josh sell the UPO, Silix, PT, Paul and a few others sell the PO. Go for it! Regards, VW

Hey I'm already sending my PO back to PT for replacement as he will send mine and a few others back to factories in China. Sorry mate! Regards, VW
