As a forum, nothing--I think it's best left up to each individual member. My advice would be to think about who you are supporting and why. I don't care if someone donates a kidney for me, I'm not going to support them financially if I learn that they are ripping me off. And THAT is what it amounts to, we have all been ripped off. I personally never bought anything from these guys, mainly because every time I wanted something I could get it somewhere else for less. So I suggest that those people who are stuck in their ways should look around at all the other great dealers you have to choose from, and give them a try. China is a pretty big place. A lot of people have whipped up completely irrelevant comparisons to shady mob contracts and car dealerships; the point they are trying to make is this is just the way the world turns, so we should roll with it. Maybe, but when you catch someone red handed in your own backyard how do you continue whistling along like nothing happened? What exactly did you post?

And now the "did we close too many threads?" thread is closed. Oh, the irony. I was in the middle of replying, too. TELL me about it. That's probably why I stuck on this forum, no court jesters.

That's crazy. Why was the cartel targeting TWP specifically?

Notice that I said once payment is made.

I assume that means Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. Where to buy a watch--maybe the internet?

Silix is a great dealer and always sets a fair price. He's also very prompt to ship once payment is made.

Haruo Suekichi makes some pretty cool watches. Steampunk Lord Vader approves.

The debate has moved pretty far beyond this, but, I know, but who doesn't love conspiracy theories? Anyway, the Geek is fine with me even if they do smooch Jandrew's behind. SPARTA!!1 and all that.

This watch looks cooler every time I see it, GREAT photos.

That reminds me, I need to call the weedman--I mean the botanical extract collector. I don't think anyone minds our discussing other dealers; on the contrary I think the forum would welcome new some blood. I have yet to read a single negative thing about this guy. Touch

Rhymes with "on the sewer". I just call it Timex. (you know, cause it looks like a... oh never mind)

Thread back from the dead! I don't think Narikaa ever found this on the leather strap; has anyone seen it?

I got both of these edits at the same time; it's a little bit like picking a fight with a photo on the wall: "I TOLD you to wipe that look off your face mister!" You must have interesting conversations with the books and magazine articles that you disagree with.

I could have sworn the issue of linking to "new" dealer sites within a discussion was debated before, and that admin was OK with it. Kind of pointless to discuss something on the web and leave out the links, but I guess it's not that hard to find a guy named HONT who sells WATCHES.

Sure there is. There is also a chance that he's a majority shareholder in the Swatch group and is artificially inflating Swiss watch prices to create increased demand for reps. Seriously though, if he wasn't such a little fish he could have tried to inflate the wholesale cost of the watch, not the retail.

I know, what I meant was (really like to see how far you can go don't you? next ones a warning) where I found the above links was taking forever.

Thanks siesta181! Here are some more evil links that FINALLY loaded from Hont's site: You can discuss all you want Doc but don't try posting links to non board collectors again thanks.

I don't know about that. As a member mentioned earlier, try searching Google for "replica watches" or "fake watches" and see how many pages of results you have to go through before you find ANY of the trusted dealers, if they show up at all. Most if not all of their business originates from forum references. If Jandrew is such a big shot and he commissioned these super reps by supplying the gens, why not keep ALL of the factories production of that watch and control prices that way?

I think that might apply if Hont was here pushing his goods. There's no rule against members discussing offsite dealers, and if there is then I don't ever want to hear another word about Ebay. Yes his website sucks but he is obviously using the same sources as Jandrew, his email is on the first page and that's all you really need. It makes no difference to me if the admin say he's OK, I want to hear it from members who have bought from him.

My bad; I never noticed the RWI icon--I guess the RG logo jumps out more. I guess RG is the place to go if you like your glasses rose-colored. Nice watch!

Sure, they're going to come right out and admit it. I did always wonder why they were the only "endorsed" forum: Is that you Jos? Kidding aside, you can't really mean to say that we shouldn't speculate about something because that might confuse the unwashed masses.

Maybe if he doesn't advertise his prices he is "allowed" to charge what he wants.

That's crazy, but it makes sense. They had some really lame reasons for deleting the threads about RWI. Reminds me of that ridiculous "forum" owned by globalreplicas, where all the posts have to be approved first by their censors.

Can't be worse than TWP or TTK, maybe I'll roll the dice.
