I am not worried but just wondering if anybody else is in the same boat... maybe he is busy loading the watches haha can't wait. Don't worry. He's swamped. Jay is a slow emailer at the best of times, but don't expect too much until Monday (doesn't work on weekends). However, emailing him again wouldn't go amiss. Email title: "Payment Confirmation". That gets his attention with me. @fivefive: Please look at the Breitling section. It's all there. EDIT: Okay, here I did the fingerwork for you. "We really appreciate the business we do here, and decide to offer another great sale. All swiss SFSO, BRES046/047/048, will go at US$225, plus shipping. It is with swiss eta-2824 movement, super AR coated sapphire, and 316 stainless steel. U could see the pics at www.silix-prime.com. Enjoy it.

rbscott Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I had the same thing happen....I ordered, off of his website, waited for paypal information, etc....with no response for a few days...(weekdays) and then I received the email requesting the corrected 225.00 pricing, with the paypal information.... Personally I'd wait...he'll get back to you.... Cheers, rbscott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolfire Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 The past week or 2 has been full of holidays in China, I'm pretty sure he'll reply to all of you once his backlog clears... @fivefive, do email him Jay for payment options and wait for his reply before trying to make any payment...

Victoria Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 hey vbarrett, just wondering what i should do in order to buy then?? just e-mail him and send him the payment at the same time?? or wait until he gives me a reply then i send him the payment??? thanks I think others have answered, but since you address the question to me, I feel duty-bound to respond. Basically, you email him, he sends you info on how to pay, and you wait for a reply for the EMS tracking. Coolfire mentioned the Chinese hols -- that plays a role in slow replies. But Jay is a slow emailer, in part because he's part of a smaller operation than others. He's a nice guy, very nice. But sometimes gets in over his head, I think. He'll be ever more swamped with this special. Keep emailing, but don't overdo it, would be my suggestion. No, I wouldn't PM anyone for payment info, since maybe he has changed it, or he uses certain ones for certain customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfire Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 V has just given a very accurate account of Jay... especially the parts about him being a very nice person and his payment options... He always changes them and has certain options for certain customers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always changes them and has certain options for certain customers... Guys, just be patient. I orderd from the site, no confirmation. Waited for a email after I sent one saying 'ill buy one, where do i deposit the cash' , few days later I got a paypal email, paid straight away and got confirmation yesterday (Sunday) he's packing and sending it! Bit slower then the other guys but given its a special im sure he's flat stick Cant wait for my SFSO White Eta to turn up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redroom Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Just curious - what are you guys paying to cover shipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexBiker Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) Just curious - what are you guys paying to cover shipping? I paid $28 for shipping to Texas via EMS...which is a little cheaper than most of the other dealers I've used so far.

Del_RFC Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I paid $28 for shipping to Texas via EMS...which is a little cheaper than most of the other dealers I've used so far. $28 to the UK. Seems reasonable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2manywatches Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 My questions is how is this so cheap? Is this the same as the original SFSO Swiss???? My dealers tells me that $225 is less the his cost on this piece, so I wonder if it is to good to be true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawo Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 My questions is how is this so cheap? Is this the same as the original SFSO Swiss???? My dealers tells me that $225 is less the his cost on this piece, so I wonder if it is to good to be true? Cost pricing? LOL. Lets see... $1.00 an hour for labour. Say 1 hour for watch assembly. $40 for the movement. $20 for the case and bracelet. Total manufacturing price is $61 sell to dealers for $150. Retail for $225. Not a bad gig. I am guessing with these numbers although I know average hourly labour rate in China is about $1. They are making money believe you me. No one in their right mind sells a product internationally with no markup. They are entitled to make money, no different then us. The Chinese are very good business men. For the same reasons why China now has the second largest ecomony in the world. Again, as I said in another thread... everything is about perceived value. If you think it is worth it and you like it, buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexBiker Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I received my blue face SFSO from Silix this morning and it's exactly as advertised. I'm very happy with the transaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiropraktor Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Ordered & paid on the 15th of October, package was sent on the 18th. White face SFSO received this morning, the 20th. Watch is as advertised, screw in crown takes some practice to screw in w/o changing the date. Jay is a pleasure to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomass Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 (edited) hmm cos the case diameter/thickness is like the superocean, and not like the steelfish... ohh well maybe he doesnt have the one he is selling for 225 on his website.

According to my calipers, the case is 44.05mm wide by 16.15mm thick...pretty close to the numbers from Breitling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
