Victoria Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 it's my first time doing buisness with Paul... and i have heard good things...i understand the 5th p.o. is a popular item and that it will take longer than usual to recieve it... but it's been nearly three weeks and i havn't recieved any shipping information or follow up... is this common? No, it's not common. He usually emails back within 2-3 days. Note, apparently unlike Joshua and Andrew, he doesn't work on Sundays, so factor that in too. However, and I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but I am one of those RWG'ers who has a beef with a collector, and will constantly bring this up whenever a question about their quality is brought up. I feel it is my duty to share this with others, with the caveat that what happened to me, doesn't necessarily follow will happen to anyone else. Having said that, I wouldn't buy from Paul again if you paid me to. He's awful at quality control (especially with PAMs), and it's like pulling teeth to get him to answer emails or get one's problem solved, once you have received the item. I wish you only good luck, but mine has been atrocious with this collector. EDIT, 8 August 1:30 AM EDT: I gave him an ultimatum on Monday, to fix my current problem, or I would leave a detailed account of his shoddy professionalism and lack of quality control on each of the forums I am in. This is after innumerable emails to him since receiving the PAM 199 with missing marker, rusted out CG, and worn out screw-threads in the lug holes. In essence, a completely awful watch. If he doesn't email me within a week, I will make good on my promise and that'll be the end of that forever. Amazing. He lost a customer worth thousands to him, potentially.

HMSS013 Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 well let me say that my post isn't quite fair... i did e-mail him after a week and his relpy was the same evening (albeit a generic sort of reply) ...stating that due to the popularity of the watch (which i believe) it would take longer to fill the order... but nothing since then...

z80 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I ordered a UPO from Paul and had it in a week. Did you use Wo-Mart or his new site pam111.com? I think wo-mart is defunct now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 People do die. I mean I hope not. But it does happen. I don't know the guy, but I don't think he is DEAD just because he hasn't sent a follow up e-mail! Just try e-mailing him your question and I'm sure he'll get back to you!

HMSS013 Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 well... i went into buying my first rep with a grain of salt...although i hope for the best... i consider my first buy to be more a learning experience... can anyone give me some pointers as to what to look for as far as quality goes with the 5th Version PO?! ...i had considered taking a stroll down to the local dealer and nonchalantly having a comparison look between it and the real thing... ...lol... that is ... when it finally arrives...
