Watchmeister Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Eddie gracefully retired when it was clear that the business was increasingly a full time business for dealers. He was a true innovator and brought wonderful stuff to many members while running a successful import business. The real question is whether anyone can find the hot woman located in Taiwan who was his silent partner. Back in the day she had her own web site. He was always a true gentleman in all his dealings. I suspect there are a few people around here who stay in touch with him but he is long gone from the rep business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff g Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 The best dealer ever. I bought more quality pieces from him than any other. He retired as a result of the pressure and frustration of dealing with the growth of the replica watch market. Issues like paypal disputes, Disgruntled [censored] customers, customs hassles and the like. He was much more interested in furthering the quality of the product, then the amount of money he made. A true watch lover. A true gentleman. He is sorely missed. Those of you that never had chance to deal with him...your loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I bought more than a few from him. The fun wasn't so much getting the watch as the interplay we used to have re: the sale. Truly great guy with a real sense of humor. He's missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 If dealing was a simple matter of selling a product to the customer Eddie might still be with us. Unfortunately I think it was a case of the few spoiling it for the many, in the end too many hassles probably decided it for him.

lanikai Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Retired .. but he has a solid position outside of the watch world.. he needs to keep his hot babe in the l9ifestyle she is accustomed too.. Still ahve a few of his reps that are still going strong today.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Unfortunately I think it was a case of the few spoiling it for the many, in the end too many hassles probably decided it for him. Watchwoot just closed due to this problem. Goodbye $180 UPOs :/ Even if you have 90 great customers, the 10 crybaby moron customers will ruin your life.

andreww Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Didn't a couple of people get burned when Eddie finally called it quits? I seem to recall something about a paypal dispute and his assets being frozen. Seems pretty much every dealer ends the same way. I never dealt with him, but seeing how he was from Canada, he was probably a decent guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know he had is paypal frozen shortly before his retirement, and for a short while only took orders from trusted return customers.
