@HK......unfortunately it's not getting better......there are a number of members here who consistently want to stir up the shit......!


Pugwash was asked to post it here......as was I......in fact I invited ANY member of RWG to post it here.......so there's no shilling being done.....nor none taken.....!

I'm disappointed to see the same members ...lonce again riding roughshod over Pugwash......despite the fact that he's a significant contributing member.....if anyone wants to have a pop at me.....well, I'm big and hairy arsed enough to deal with them......but Puggy was simply doing a good turn....and all people here wanna do is turn it against him......no wonder I didn't post it here.....if this is the kind of shit you get......I'll be surprised if he stays...I was surprised he returned......as for you Phil......please restrict your Klinkish to less serious matters.....I know you can make sense when you want to.....Klinkish doesn't help in these situations......!

sorry, i really was eating some popcorn. lol

this looks simple to me. if someone wants to save roughly 100.00 on an mbw, get on the list and send your money once you are excepted. people did it all the time with luckky and allot of people got screwed, some just waited along time and at the end he apparently just took the money and ran.

i have said this before and i will say it again. i have never bought anything from neil but it damn sure doesn't mean i won't at some point. bad shit can happen at any moment in our hobby and we all know it but the absolute last thing i could ever imagine is neil gathering up money for a hand full of reps and running away. call me crazy but somehow i just don't see that happening.

now with that said, i have to clean up my popcorn mess and clean the butter off of my keyboard. lol :lol:

@TTK

Since you mentioned my name I will respond:

7.500 Baht is the price of a vintage mbw rolex when you buy a single watch or two or three.

However since I always bought 5 watches at a time I paid 7.250 baht (just a tad over 200 US$ depending on exchange rate which of course varies from day to day) for each. That is what pichai calls "wholesale discount"...

When you buy 25 pieces or more you will surely get some discount, being as smart as you are!

I do commend you for correctly quoting your transportation costs this time to and fro Bangkok.

How about a car pool with Maria? His truck is extended cab (can fit fellas with large egos...) and mighty comfy too (leather, air, dvd, navigation). He surely is still making his weekly trips into town.

Bottom line: 350US$ is a fair deal if everybody keeps up their ends!

*yawn*

those who want to take part in TTK's group buy should read everything carefully and follow his instructions. They should be simple but very specific.

hope you all get your MBW's soon, heard they were quite a fun watch to mod.

waiting for the day that i can buy one without the g/f screaming.

@Leo.....yes...but any discount I achieve by ordering in bulk...provides the safety net that may be required to offset any potential problems.....and whatever discount I may or may not achieve is purely speculative and unconfirmed at this point.....suffice to say....that I won't be making multiple trips to Bangkok and will only consolidate the deal when I have the requisite funds available to negotiate any discount and or complete the transaction.....!

Like I said it's a fair deal for everybody if buyers/seller honor their respective commitments.

The fat lady (p'chai's wife) is damn tight when it comes to prices and in a foul mood most of the time...but the sight of all that cash (1000 baht is largest thai note) will lift her spirits some and she will be slapping the baht all over her counter top for good luck. :D That should be something to see...

??????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????????? ????????????? "??????" ??????????????????????????????????????????????

temper temper...

very strange stuffs, no Klinki words..

what be so much of strange? Perceptio of dealers.. and reality of a dealer

who shall not be named [invisible]TTK[/invisible] who for years has

given excellent goods and service.. as a loyal customer I can only say that

when it comes to good stuffs, this 'invisible' guy has treated me with excellent

service.. that was not invisible at all..

As for puggie.. nice guy, I am sure, sharpest tack in the box sorta thing.. however,

habits of reacting with prickly indignation and even "ignorant" comments? seems like the old

'can dish it out, but can't take it' thingy...

Well,

maybe peoples might simply ignore and get back on topic..

MBW!

Is excellent deal, no doubt!

Life is Good!

Hey TTK, can I give you some advice:

Listen carefully:

GET A SENSE OF HUMOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said to the nasty ice cream salesman in his truck, where's your GOOD HUMOR!!!

REALLY!



TTK said:
Unfortunately you can't fix the misinformed....!

@WBK....what's your alleged problem.....all I can see where you're concerned is an alleged conflict of interest......you're both an alleged dealer and an alleged Mod....and whether it's 'allegedly' or not.......you shouldn't be making alleged ASSumptions or alleged ASSertions regarding another alleged dealer nor my alleged communications......everyone who is in on the buy have received all the communication they need........I presume thats allegedly OK with you Stan........?

First and foremost......Pugwash isn't a shill......I don't need a shill.....!

Secondly......I didn't organise the group buy......Pugwash was being put under pressure to get his brother to organise some MBW's for members.....then when he declined ..those members started on his ass.....so I stepped in and said if that THEY wanted to organise a group buy.....I would work out a price......I did that......here's the breakdown of costs...!

7500 baht for a vintage MBW....= $224 at today's rate....( I dunno where Leonado gets his $200.....but I bet he's not got a gold star in his jotter for arithmetic...)

1100 baht for EMS postage.....= $32.00

150 baht for packaging.........= $5.00

Travel to Bangkok....3000 baht return / 25...= $4.00

TOTAL = $265.00 ...not including minor incidentals...!

My selling price = $350.00

Profit = $85.00

So let's see....I save you $100+......and I'm expected to provide a guarantee ( which the shop doesn't....so if you buy direct from the shop ....you don't get a guarantee ).....not only that....but I'm supposed to 'insure' or 'indemnify' you against any loss.......so if you walk out of MBK and you get mugged.....you wanna walk into the shop and say hey....I got mugged....give me another free of charge......or you get stopped at US Customs.....you wanna call up the shop and demand a replacement......meanwhile I take the risk of going to jail.....not collecting $200....nor a get out of jail pass......for $85.00...whilst saving you $100...!

So....here's the options.....you can opt in or out of the group buy.....nobody's twisting your arm.....or you can pay the same price as George or WM is charging....$450.00 with shipping and I WILL GUARANTEE YOU AGAINST ANY LOSS OR DEFECT....simple.....just like sub4me.....!

BTW ...I never stated that I wouldn't replace a watch.....what I said was that I wouldn't be held liable....there's a difference.....I said that if any member 'lost' a watch...I was prepared to negotiate with them for a satisfactory solution....based on an assumed loss of 10%....that means 2x watches out of the buy......so my negotiations could be anywhere from replacement free of charge......to.....you pay the new postage ....I'll ship the watch..F.O.C.......nothing's set in stone.....!

On a final note.....I was asked if I wanted to post it here......I declined......why ? ...I hear you ask.......'cos the group buy was oversubscribed at RWG....hence no need to post here......!

BTW for the benefit of the misinformed member...( yeah ..you know who you are....so does everybody else )....... you wouldn't know an MBW if it walked up ...pissed on your leg and said .."I'm an MBW"......ALL MBW watches take genuine parts.......tubes / crowns / bezel inserts / sapphires / acrylics.....or do you want to continue denigrating the SEASONED veterans of thes boards....who DO know what they're talking about......by telling them that you DO........thanks for the laugh.......that's why they are IN DEMAND........and no......Josh nor Trusty.......nor anyone other than THAILAND based dealers or visitors....can source them........!

Therefore the alleged French guy from England is allegedly "HAWK"ing (I had to throw in a bird term) these alleged timepieces so he and the guy with too much time on his hand could allegedly dsitrbute these watches to everyone that TTK allegedly never responds to, or happily insults!!! :shock:
I have nothing to do with this Group Buy. The admins of this site (RWI) asked me to post about it so that people here wouldn't miss out.

I don't need a group buy as I already have two of the watches. You're making it very discouraging for me to be helpful. :shock:

Hey PW,

As far as your quote, don't you understand parody?? That was all meant to be humorous.

Also, thank you very much for bringing this to RWI so we wouldn't miss out!!!
You have just earned a "You 'da man!"

Really! Thanx!

Good to be back at RWI after taking a break...

But back to the same old arguing and fighting as always...

Do you want to fly to friggin China and find the MBW factory buy your watch and fly back home ?
No, LOL, so give TTK his $85 fee and wait for the watch...seems fair to me...

All the arguing back and forth is getting really old and turns people off the forum...

Then don't buy. I don't see the problem.

As I was telling a friend in a PM yesterday, the waiting times involved are why I've never bought anything from Neil. However, should I ever decide to order something, I wouldn't be surprised or fussed if it took a long time to get to me. That's par for the course and the information pointing to that being par for the course is ALL OVER this forum. You only need to bother to look.

You bump a 5 month old thread about a dealer who doesn't even sell on this site anymore and want Cliffs Notes? Do your homework, young man! :wink: :lol:
