maxmsu Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 EDITED: Please stop sending PMs to me... if you want to figure out who it might be, just read this thread, smart guys already figured it out. UPDATE: It seemed ok now and my replacement will be sent. More update see page 2 under my posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Bought this watch from a very trustworth dealer... 7750 got problems. He said to send it back and will replace it with a new one... Sent it out today and right after that, got an email from him stating something like "I met big trouble, police came to my house and took all the watches away...." I was like oh my god... Does this happen to anyone before? what are my options? I only sent the head back (still have the bracelet)... he hasn't reponded to my email regarding the solution yet... thoguht wanted to share with you... definitely the police didn't came to his door (if it ever came) because of your shipment...never heard of something like that... when the situation calms down for the dealer (I am really interested to hear who is he), see what can be done...be patient now, because if that s**t really happened you can understand what troubles he has right now...

Stephane Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Very strange indeed. The better to do is is relax and try to follow up with the collector... It should be possible to find a good issue with him if he is a trustable one from here . Good luck, Stephane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'm currious as to who the "collector" is as I'm planning on placing an order soon and don't want to order from a "collector" whos having issues. Please let us know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmsu Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 The Collector is not on this board... so you guys are safe... I don't want to say who it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 If the collector has a lot of pieces at home adoes his dealing from there, it is possible the police took his stuff of course. It's also possible the police took his computer and has all the data of his dealings, the forums etc. Just make sure not to keep too much info on your PC.

Guest TTK Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 (edited) What you must bear in mind is that other members here are also members over there......and some of them may be doing as you did......sending money to him......or even just communicating with him which may incriminate him even more......! I think you have a duty of care to the members to name the 'collector'.......if he is as you say....'a trustworth' collector...then his reputation won't be harmed here....we are both a forgiving and supportive lot...and if one of our collectors is having a problem.....then we'll do all we can to help.......of that I'm certain......! The collector will surely not be transacting at this point and may not even have the facility to alert other members.......which is his duty of care........so you should act in his stead......and advise members of who it is......I know if it were me.....I'd like someone to alert the members....I wouldn;t want inflowing orders incriminating me even more......or even members money being seized somehow...!

piratedzeus Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I think I know who it is, searched thread creators posts here and on other forums... but I won't badmouth any dealer here... I did not buy from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TTK Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 @PD.....how would you be badmouthing a collector......it's not as tho' it's his fault......anyone of us could experience the same.......no-one could lay any blame at his feet...!

Pugwash Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I am quite sure... but how can you be 100% by reading his posts... This doesn't make sense. Oh, and if the dealer is still selling or accepting money, we need to know who it is, regardless of what forum they're on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TTK Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 No need to name the dealer.....we should just let the water flow......no point in muddying it......it's time to scramble up the banks......and build a bridge.....or get a boat and paddle down it....

jfreeman420 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 No worries about buyers from this collector. He is in another country. Surely interpol will not form an international manhunt to track down customers. Shame to hear that though. Hope nothing comes of it. Does anyone know what kind of penalties are probable?

citabria72 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I feel like such an idiot. But there are always newbies, and everyone has to go through that stage before we reach horilogical nirvana. Anyway. What do we need to do to avoid raising red flags? What should be avoided in emails? Is that why so many people on our forum use abbreviations that I am not familiar with? To avoid being busted? I can certainly understand not putting the word "replica" on a paypal payment, but what other precautions do we need to take on this board when we inquire about a product and use other email communications? Hey! I saw you rolling your eyes at me, young man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 A nice guy, who I believe has at least one small child. Yeah, yeah this is a tough biz and all that, but I wish him the best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
