for me? for some strange reason I have been quite pleased with the replicas I

have purchased... hmmmmm
That's wonderful for you. I'm so glad. Next time anyone complains, I'll tell them it's ok, because Klink has never had any problems. That'll make them realise how they need to stop complaining and just praise Klink. :D

Praise Klink!

Aww, heck, you didn't have to go that far, Pugwash! But since you have, thank you!

Now:

Any changes made that

will meet the legal requirements of truth in advertising

will be a good thing..

The tremendous harm that is being done now cannot continue

maybe a poll to ban sellers who misrepresent?

Whatever helps.

Perhaps someone could also make a list of buyers who have been scammed, and who are
unhappy - like yourself - and have them list specifics: dealer, watch, and the actual problem?

Perhaps a list of dealers who are misrepresenting with specific examples? This could be a thread

controlled by someone who can compile these things - a locked thread perhaps so it does not get
cluttered?

Whatever helps..

While I personally do not have a problem with the way things are currently, I do see value to new members
in some scheme... any scheme at all that would be effective.. esp. considering that only ttk and silix have agreed
to date..

The key would seem to be to apply some power, some method, anything that might be more effective than what has
been accomplished to date.. though it is commendable that at least two dealers out of the fifteen here have agreed
to advertise legally.

Problems can happen. it's how the dealer handles a problem that determines fo me whether or not they are top notch.

Davidsen fits into the top notch category for me. I will definately order more from him!

had a few minor issues with a watch I ordered from him and there was no BS, he resolved the problem and threw in a few little extras that just made me feel inceredibly good about dealing with him.

I am confident that anything I get from him will be a good quality and that he cares and will stand behind his product.

CISO
ABSOLUTELY BANG ON! Totally reliable, and of course ..they're he's mods. My man for Panerai! every time!

Just to point this out, at any given time Neil may have 10 watches in his listings. Very easy to keep track of what is what. Josh and Andrew likely have about a thousand watches in their catalogue. They are supplied with images (unlike Neil who does his own pics), and likely have to simply post specs as they are supplied from the dealer. It wouldn't surprise me if they had never even seen half the watches they sell. On top of that, with a large catalogue of goods, it would be very hard to change images to reflect production changes, thats assuming that the manufacturer even bothers to alert them.

IMO, this is just the consequences of dealing with a large dealer as opposed to the smaller guys like Neil. Each dealer has his strong points and weaknesses. As a consumer you should be aware of this. Read reviews, don't be the first to buy a specific model. Follow these simple rules and you will always be sure of what you are receiving.

Replica watch manufactures have by no means the goal producing the ultimate....perfect ....as good as possible.....highest grade....replica....by no means. They want to produce as cheap and as shitty as possible....not caring if this thing runs a week or a year.
Their interest is....least effort.....maximum price....maximum business.
they could produce way higher quality....but why should they ?
we all know what we get....and dont get me wrong....there is some really good stuff out there....and i dont feel betrayed.
Ever bought a new car ...being told about its awesome gas mileage.....and then in real life.....yeah right...!!
same deal.

still love those watches !!
just my thoughts !!

Think about it real hard

I hate when people mention this is illegal and we are dealing with a sort of character so except being mislead. What we are interested in may be illegal but that is no excuse for being misled. Say what have and sell what you say you have, simple. :wink:

If I am in a crooked business to sell you sometihng that is illegal and I am way over in Asia and you are in Small Town, USA, and I really want your $300 and oyu really want to give it to me,...


Dont you think that me being a CROOK in a CROOKED business, I would not have the urge to say just a tiny teenie little white lie in order for you to send me your $300 and I mail you a POS watch?

You think I will feel guilty and will lose sleep over my little white lie?

Think again!!!!

Everything about this rep business is CROOKED..... EVERYTHING! :shock:

Look into my eyes, all replicas are perfect and flawless, you love replicas, spend money on replicas, we're not a scam site, those other sites are scam sites, that watch isn't broken its a custom "feature", didn't you hear? the Swiss moved to China, synthetic sapphire ok, the caseback doesn't need a gasket, that screw is supposed to come loose and jam up the movement, it's perfectly normal to spend 300.00 dollars on a watch have to send it back at your expense and wait two months, our dealers don't lie, they are just confused, Sea-Gull is how we say "Swiss made" in China, of course it real AR coating yes it's supposed to watch off with water, that subdial is supposed to move in fits and spurts like that....

If only my customers was as fat dumb and happy as people are around here!

OLDECROW You are hilarious! LOL

And right on.


Love you already! :wink:

Funny stuff.

Really, gotta laugh at ourselves:

ponder the whole picture: a bunch of intelligent, well paid attractive and hip men like us exchanging insults or bragging rights about this watch or that watch and really, the reality is:

ALL OVER CHEAP FAKED OUT WANNABE RIP OFF WATCHES!

I really need to get a life.

Like, seriously.

Need to get off the laptop and the watches and make love to the wife, you know, something useful!


:shock: :D

My Rep purchases, Reviews

There seems to be some antagonizing about giving specifics on problems with watches so I took the time to find links to all the watches I bought early in 2006 before I got tired of talking to a brick wall.
Not all of these reps had problems either.

these links are to TRC

Joshua's Speedmaster
Etaswiss (sean)'s Black Seamaster
Etaswiss (sean) / Eddielee / Joshua (rw), start to finish (FINALY FINISHED)
Omega Aquaterra 2892

Puzzling to me this is..

Were anyone to actually read previous posts of Pugs and mine concerning the issue of truth in advertising

one would find that I have been and still am in complete agreement with Pugwash, and TTK as regards proper

descriptions.. and more so later on in the thread when I understood that PW has only the best interest of the forums

in his heart.

Why did I become upset? It was a reaction to what I saw as a good intentioned chap who was raising a very large

hue and cry, and shouting FIRE! FIRE! - yet who flippantly, to my eyes, refused to point to the fire.. If he is correct

in the assertions, it makes zero sense to me for him to not name that which he knows.. and to be specific rather than

stirring the shite, and raking the muck.. making a bad smell when it is in his power to be precise, and point directly

to the sins he is crying about..

My support of Pugwash began as I realized the while old forum hand likely know all of the little details, and not be

at all concerned, perhaps newer members could benefit from his efforts.

Oh well, I am still puzzled.. and I still do agree with his basic premise, and I do support his efforts, even if he now refuses

to be of any real assistance in this matter.. other than his continual ranting and raving..

Pugwash was not asked to leave, and any insult he felt, imo, was simply the product of his refusal to actually be of help.

"Well, I tried. I'll be back here after I've let off some steam. Thanks, Klink. You can crush the fun out of even enjoyable places like forums. Your pettiness knows no bounds.".... Pugwash!
