FYI:
Didnt mean all the time, but was speaking in general and abstract. I'm not running around doing this myself. And yeah if I ever run across the thread, I'll give it a read, but remember it's my first day It will take me some time to find.
I'm sure they are limited to what they are shown, but they do have a connection to the factories right? Then they should have access or at least have the ability to request access to "plenty (on hand) finished inventory".
The td knows (some of the time) they can get another piece If customer rejects. why waste yours and mine with sending me subpar replica(misaligned markings, and other small issues). Only reason I can guess, is the hopes of the customer not caring and accepts it.
if you're shopping for someone else, chances are you're going to give them the first thing or anything they could find vs you shopping for yourself, you will pick the best thing you can find, within reason. And in SOME cases, it seems that is going on, where you get the first thing they picked up blind folded. Maybe that is what I'm paying for, seeing some of y'all nonchalant attitudes about the matter.
I don't claim to know their profit margin, but I know these people are not making nickels and dimes from us rich wide eyes American and Europeans. They have to be making a decent profit for our 1st world needs and since I feel that way, i can't help not to feel that these td's are looking for people who will take anything and over pay to have it.
ban me and report me to td for voicing my opinion about TD, WOW, Didn't know I hurt someone with my 3 cents. you're a mean mod.
I didn't and don't think I have high expectations wanting a watch that has correct aligned markings, to me it kills waste but what do I know, I'm just a cockroach in this game that wants his AP.
