Finepics Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Well the DW's are now done with - there was a total of 8x 2892 Power reserves and 28 2893/36's. This is hardly worth the effort and the following list of names is the reason why this is the last project I undertake for any members. It is simply not enough to commit your name to a list and then not follow through. I realise that this has taken a long time to get to the final stage and I particularly thank all those of you patient enough to see it through to the end.

Finepics Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Yep - sorry to have to do this but a considerable number of wheels were ordered and paid for in advance. I absolutely refuse to make a loss which is what looks like happening. This does not even take into account my time or phone calls and postage back and forth to the printers. I'm very disappointed and now almost do not feel it was worth the effort except for the fact that my own watches are now almost as perfect as can be.

RWG Technical Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I feel your pain Mark, been there done that... And I continue to get shafted at least a couple times a month, by members who book time for an apointment and dont' live up to their commitments, or have the decency to at least respond to emails... My solution, you get one chance with me, after that, email marked as spam, PM blocked, and Ignored on the forums... It may seem harsh, but when you consider that a broken appointement is one that someone else could have used, and my lost time on emails, pm's etc...it's not worth the trouble. Keep your word, or go somewhere else, simple. Sorry to hear you got shafted. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is nothing to what I had to endure during and following the RWG watch project. It was not so easy either I have to say. Grief. I can understand how you feel about it all. project gone wrong. Doing something for the community and get [censored]. Still I would not have exposed them in this way and never give up hope my friend..there is always hope and there is no such thing as the last project Regards Gunnar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 This is a tremendous shame to hear, and it makes me think twice about the potential hassle of the AR group runs. To those people who committed and then subsequently disappeared off the face of the earth: The RIGHT thing to do is to pay up even though you'll get nothing now. I guess my 7753 196 is forever doomed to remain inaccurate. Oh well. At least my GMT will have a perfect datewheel. Thanks for your painstaking efforts, Mark. I can't wait to receive my wheel. But, what a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Any last takers on this still have until noon tomorrow to get their name in. The printers willl be commencing the run as soon as I give them the numbers and I have delayed as long as I can now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikellem Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I have commited to taking one 2893 datelwheel. I also want it! Tell me how to pay? Why didn't I get a PM or something Mark? I personally can not keep up with all the threads here! Thanks, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikellem Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Mark, Please do not put me on your "quilty List" for non payment! I have PM'D you in the past about payment and received no reply. Therefore I assumed that you were not collecting money for the DW"S yet! Possibly if you PM the people whom have committed, I am sure they will probably follow thru... Jusy my 2 cts. -MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Manny Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks for all the hard work. If I had more GMT's I would buy more. Cheers, CM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Brilliant tactic, Mark. I hope it works. I appreciate your effort, and I look forward to the receipt of my date wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkukbora Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Yes.....I am on the committed list,pledged on July15th,2006 for 01 pc ( After the full read up here.......as guilty as charged.......I really do feel bad about this as this happened long ago and never really spend my time following up the latest developments.........for that I am truly sorry. Mark......you'll receive my email now to confirm the actual payment even though you never asked for it until now as you're fully aware you can easily request for it thru PM and Email ..I am not a new customer to your project and the last I've dealt with is the 7753 datewheel.......of which The Zigmeister confirmed it won't work even now eventhough payments have been made twice for a single datewheel.....never mind about that as your efforts are truly appreciated.

Finepics Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Mikellem and Linkukbora - sorry to treat you in such a manner but it did get your attention and I don't have the time to send everyone PM's about this - if I did I'd have no time to do anything else! I have regularly updated the threads with progress and I would have thought it was easy to see what was happening. Please accept my apologies - your names are duly removed!! Linkukbora - your 7753 wheel is being re-printed right now - it was one of 3 that the printers for some inexplicable reason had missed out and had not corrected. These wheels I can assure everyone will be perfect first time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lello Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 There are maybe some of you who could not wait and went to an alternative (and may I say a crap source) for their DW's - I hope you're happy - I would not be. Hei Mr!... I've been treated badly some times already, although not openly and this is even worse. Couldn't stop myself this time. As it's so clear I'm the "crap source" in your delirious speech up here. Just for the RWG people to know, none of the guys in the "black" list, did get a single datewheel from me. Despite to the fact I started working on the DW issue, much long before you, people around here know how many times I said in my PMs, I wasn't making 2893 DWs anymore, because you were doing it. I also spoke well regarding your DWs... I had around 1000 euros of losses from my DW experience and you complaint because five or six people did change their mind after waited so long time... Covetousness some times can drive you out of track. The blank discs from Eta, cost just around 2/3 euros each..., there was no reason to treat people this way though.

Watchmeister Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Well, I do hope everyone shows up. All four of my GMT's and PR's eagerly await. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonton2000 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I have to defend INDYCLMBR here. I actually bought his 2893 PAM 063 from him, and i bought the DW from you instead of him. I can't even imagine how frustrating this whole project must have been, and its a shame that the result is alot of wasted time and money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Are these being printed this week? Got a watch going to the Zigmaster, and just trying to get an idea of timing. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shultz Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Oops, since I gave my PAM029 away I didn't follw that thread any longer.... i amguilty, no doubt but I will take that DW nevertheless because Mark did a great job and I won't get you any lost. Again: I appologize and hope I will not get a place on a black list. PM sent to Mark for payment instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Schultz - you have been duly removed and thanks for letting me know the situation.

Chronus Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Just checking you still have me down for datewheels for the 028, 029 and 063. I wasn't on the list at the front so I'm assuming so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
