juicemouse Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Did we ever get the information on the TD involved in this? I don't understand the big secret either. I thought the whole point of the forum is to share information and protect one another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I don't understand the big secret either. I thought the whole point of the forum is to share information and protect one another. Trusted dealers have been around for years and do not do this kind of thing on purpose. If the original poster receive these watches by mistake, why tarnished the reputation of a trusted dealer over a mistake? If you read the hundreds of happy reviews and hang around a bit, you will see that this is true. Reputation is everything and they understand that. You don't just screw over people on the forums for a couple of watches. It doesn't make sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 So very true. It takes a total dweeb to jeopardies his standing here for just a couple watches. Trusted dealers while having earned that distinction have had to truly prove themselves, and wont lower themselves to petty theft. The fault lies elsewhere, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 The value of the forum is to help get the attention of a larger dealer when something goes wrong. Sometimes you need to bypass their customer service crew and go straight to the top to get satisfaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't just screw over people on the forums for a couple of watches. It doesn't make sense. I ask because when I requested a movement shot during QC, I was told they don't do that. You would think they would be happy to show you the movement before shipping. It would have prevented the situation that the OP described and saved a lot of headache for both parties. Obviously you would not want to hurt the reputation of a TD needlessly but I think there could be additional steps during the QC process. Why does the trust have to only go one way?

Jkay Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Plainly put - you're still dealing with the Chinese. The TDs will not cheat you on purpose but they also will not cater to your needs. They are only being "nice" because of the forums; otherwise it would be "fuck off".

wilazn Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I high doubt it was a mistake. Why would it take a post on the forums, admin, multiple emails, and this long for the dealer to take the watches back got a refund.

Don't know about a21j, but they send Asian clones instead of Swiss all the time. Very few of the buyers open the case back to check, and even fewer know how to tell Asian from Swiss.

Jkay Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Define all the time. Link some posts ? I'm sure a lot of people have raised hell about it. Hundreds, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 "Why does the trust have to only go one way?" because they got it and you want it. This being said I have posted many times we are our own enemy in regard to these matters, gotta have it no patience or discipline we lose. As far as movements dealers not cracking open case back to check movements so they order X movement send to you ,you get Y nature of the beast. OH and Pics /QC of movements never the guys would refuse 90% of the dirty stuff we get, service when you get it............... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
