Victoria Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Please look here for the following informations Thanks http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...&st=0&# The Cousteau Diver is not a big priority, so it would all personally depend on price. Tentatively, though, I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo35 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Any chance on a ceramic HBB at a price that doesn't make unmentionable parts of our bodies hurt??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 OK...I'll say what everyone's thinking: How about lining up a discount on the new Aquatimer Chrono? Thanks for taking the initiative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWP Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 OK...I'll say what everyone's thinking: How about lining up a discount on the new Aquatimer Chrono? Thanks for taking the initiative I am leary to get a group buy going on a watch that has not yet come out, preorders only, i have one model in my hand, and there may be issues. A lot of times issues with the watches do not start to circulate until the watch has been out at least one month. But I will consider it.

TWP Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Any chance on a ceramic HBB at a price that doesn't make unmentionable parts of our bodies hurt??? Yes i can do a group buy for this watch. Price would be $995 dollars and at least 30 interested members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desuetude Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Yes i can do a group buy for this watch. Price would be $995 dollars and at least 30 interested members IWC 3717 w/packaged black and brown straps. Awesome rep, proven quality, timeless piece. Doesn't need to be worn fearing the loss of screws. Can't go wrong. That said, the cousteau diver wouldn't be a bad option either, but given some of the work needed to get it really high quality, I'd prefer to see the 3717. Whatever it is, with a few exceptions, I would be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomRiddle Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 group buys I'm in for: -some type of PAM -.- -some type of PVD PAM -Chopard etc.. forget the HBB's, people want it but can't justify the money for it, so even group buys won't work.. and in all honesty you should go for -TAG AQUARACER daydate (TWP this may be your best bet.. get a group buy going for this and i guarantee you, people will join, i for one am in) seriously.. if you do a group buy for this, most everyone will jump in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 group buys I'm in for: -some type of PAM -.- -some type of PVD PAM Yes, and yes. -Chopard Eh. -TAG AQUARACER daydate (TWP this may be your best bet.. get a group buy going for this and i guarantee you, people will join, i for one am in) seriously.. if you do a group buy for this, most everyone will jump in Would be interested for my boyfriend. For me, the Big Pilot 3717 which Defacto also mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRiddle Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Yes, and yes. Eh. Would be interested for my boyfriend. For me, the Big Pilot 3717 which Defacto also mentioned. i'm dead serious.. if TWP organizes a group buy for the Tag Aquaracer, everyone would jump in *EVERYONE* ... why? cuz it'll make the price cheap -.- cheap price for one of the best reps around = massive buying frenzy so yea, a group buy for the Tag Aquaracer would get everyone in the pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranium Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I'm game ... but monster sized PAM's aren't up my alley (but maybe a group buy would be all it takes). Cousteau or Aquaracer for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rek001 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I'd be in for a Slevin please, if the discount is right. (I don't think you answered Pug's question - do you have the Aquatimer chrono?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousteau or Aquaracer for sure. Maciek's post on his Egyptian hols had an odd effect on me. I now want his girlfriend's white Seatimer AND his Cousteau Diver. But now that Pix posted the IWC Porto in RG, I want that too. Basically, I've come to the conclusion that I'm impressionable. And I just like watches.

TomRiddle Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 see? everything comes back to price that's why the Aquaracer is the best choice for a Group Buy the main thing is that whatever the group buy be.. it has to be at a relatively affordable pricepoint to begin with (no HBB's, no AP's, no MBW's, etc etc for obvious reasons, people are dreaming if they want these for cheap) so the main thing is the actual watch has to be within $200-300 BEFORE the groupbuy.. $400 (for the 2007 Costeau is ok as well) but nothing more than that.. so realistically.. the best bet is the kickass Tag Aquaracer, which *EVERYONE* would buy.. or a PAM since PAM's usually hover around the $200-300 anyways// it's pricepoint is already enticing and the group buy would just bump it lower... so yea, Aquaracer TWP, I'm definitely in for one or a PAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWP Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 It appears to be a toss up between the tag aquaracer and the cousteau diver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I beleive I need to ask a question here. In the past , group buys have been the reserve of members, who negotiate a price with a dealer , for a given quantity, and discount, and then put the offer to the members. In this instance , we are looking more at a situation, where a dealer is getting great market intelligence (nothing wrong with that) and then arranging to offer a price, based on potential quantities.( and popular product) This subject has been discussed in admin, we have no rules in place for it, and really just want to get a feeling from the member group, as to how this sits with them. Obviously the watches don't yet exist "in stock", so the dealer is literally saying, "Tell me what you want, make a commitment, and I will tell you how much you can have it for!" As I see it, at this time there is no offer, as there is no price... you could be offered 90% discount, but until a price is known.. it becomes 90% of nothing. This is not to denigrate this approach, merely to question it. So what say the member group? Should dealers offer group buys? or should this be something reserved for keen members to arrange?
