HU is quite the poet. Profound none the less.

Andrew -
We have received reports that you have interfered with other dealer's abilities to get watches until they have priced them at a level you want them to... or in some cases, not being able to access watches at all... leading to higher prices...

 

[horologie_unitas]

hasnt it always been like this.....?

i always...always heared these stories...... looks like somebody takes actions now ? Impressed !

 

[trustywatchguy]

Allegations, rumours... Who am I to interfere? Maker/Factories are the ones who decide who to give to... I am just a nobody, or you can call me a salesman.

 

[LegendofSpeed]

So, the other dealers just always name you as the person interfering with their ability to obtain a supply?

Why would at least 3 independent dealers all name you then?

 

[trustywatchguy]

How will I know? Of course they will do anything to get me down... They are dealers, direct competitors of mine. Its natural for them to want to hit me, grab the sales, grab the money and then run off like the many who did... TWP, SashWatch.... etc.

There is no need for me to explain. Its a never ending thread..and it will be. If they know the Maker, maybe they can ask the Maker/Factory. Why ask me? Like I say, I am just a salesman. If there are questions, i suggest you can email me direct at: [email protected]

Thanks

Andrew

 

[LegendofSpeed]

they do ask the maker and everytime you are named as the reason for problems...

 

[Chumpzilla]

Rep Collectors - this is not a charity drive - the dealers are mostly Chinese criminals. Do you expect ethical behaviour from drug dealers also? Get REAL!

 

[trustywatchguy]

I am named? LOL... So you believe those dealers who say that? I got nothing to say... Did you hear that from the Maker's mouth?

No factories and makers can be controlled by any dealers actions/gestures. We are merely all salesman in the eyes of them... thats all. =)

 

[watchbuff]

this is an exercise in futility.
playing stupid always works

 

[trustywatchguy]

Playing stupid? I am never playing stupid. Like I said, you can ask the Maker/Factory. Words from their mouth direct is better than all the other people who start saying but there isnt any evidence at all. We are merely salesman... everyone stand on their own. Thats all.

Have a good day.

No matter who is right, I am pleased that Andrew responded.

Cheers,

i am waiting for a explanation for if they are just salesmen and have no control over who gets the products then why don't all the salesmen have the merchandise? it is never in a manufacturer's best interest to limit there nicer items to a 2 or 3 salesmen when you have many. the only reason you would do that is when somebody somewhere is pulling somebodies strings and stopping them. the factories make the products to sell and make money, there is no reason to limit the salesmen when you have many good ones. that only limits competition between the salesmen, artificially drives up the prices to the end consumer and benefits the salesmen personally.

 

[trustywatchguy]

In this commercial world and everyone knows... BIG BRAND NAMES only offer distributorship to certain companies in different countries. APPLE or SONY dont start giving any Tom, Dick or Harry (Or Tom's Harry Dick... just a joke!) a distributorship to sell their products. There will be levels which are planned out nicely. APPLE and SONY have to assess the companies they work with... If every shop in town is a distributor, then lines like wholesales, retailers will be all blurred.

I guess those who know the correct things will understand this correctly. Maker/Factory dont give everything to everyone. It makes perfect sense because there are spoilers in the market who will cause even trouble back to the Makers with pricing or maybe even used the watch to COPY...(Yes! a replicated replica!!!)

I guess I have spoken enough. There will never be all people who I or any other dealers can satisfy but I guess those who have gotten very good service from me will know all these years, what I had offered is genuine hard work and efforts. I dont laze around using so called Factory Pics at all ..

Enough said. Thanks

 

[hk45ca]

so you are saying only 3 retailers are big and powerful enough to sell their good products? that makes you guys very very important to them if they cannot trust anybody else to sell their products.
