Didn't expect that from @puretime at all. Angus and his team have always been great to deal with but deleted posts and cancelled orders is a bit irritating..

Meh, PT shouldn’t need to chime in. Clearly it was a pricing error on something listed for just a few hours. The only thing they should do is refund any amounts paid in error

I agree. As someone who has worked retail for my whole life. Pricing mistakes happen. They are usually honest mistakes and the customer isn’t entitled to that price given they realized the mistake and it was only posted for a few hours before corrected. It’s a bummer when you get your hopes up when the price is much lower but it’s unrealistic for the business to take a loss on an honest mistake.

With a mishap on the website, I would agree. However, posting to specifically promote the price of the watch, subsequently open orders, then cancel the orders, delete the post, provide no explanation, and raise the price $1000 is not what I would classify as honest.

I guess it depends on country regulations. Where I'm from even if there's a mistake in the price tag, the retailer is legally obliged to sell at the advertised price. Otherwise it's too easy to cheat and have fake low prices and trick customers into buying, either because they realize it but think "bad news but while I'm here I might as well buy", or even worse not even realize that they're paying more than the price tag. Obviously less applicable to expensive goods but imagine what it would be like in a supermarket where you're buying many items at a time

I guess my point is that it doesn’t appear like they were trying a bait and switch. Everything was taken down once they realized their mistake.

this is a 500-800 watch at best, maybe even lower. don't know or why anyone would pay over 1k for it. The sellers should realize that this is a watch they can make money on by moving more units.

 

[shawn1236632]

anyone have any idea when ZF is coming out with their version. I also heard about a 67-01 in the works, what is the update on that?

who said that and where?

 

[Db9s]

who said that and where?

A lot of WeChat sellers are saying ZF is imminent. This is the last stage of expensive RM 67 and their prices have steady declined in response to the upcoming cheaper priced ZF.

Same thing happened to some AP models which used to go for $6k started to decline to $4k to $3k because the cheaper mass produced version that came up a month later.

So this RM is a last ditch attempt to get what ever they can get before the mass production starts.

It’s not even a clone movement which makes these prices even more absurd
Just buy my 27-05 for $365 and you’ll get the same experience with a thin RM on a Miyota movement

I sincerely apologise for the incorrect pricing when I first posted about the RM67-02 release. The price was adjusted because of the wrong cost price quoted by the factory which they only told me correctly after I had posted.

I did receive 2 orders for this model, but no payments were made and the orders were cancelled automatically because of the wrong price listed.

If you are interested to purchase one, please contact us.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

The 27-05 rep is all decorative...defeats the purpose of a skeleton movement completely. If any of those beautiful gears/tourbillon were functional, then I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Your watch for sale is a very different experience than the 67-02 rep coming out. I hope they eventually put some money into properly repping something like the 27-05, but I'm sure we're years away from anything like that (if ever).

Thanks for the transparent/honest quick reply. Sounds like you had a frustrating experience on your end, too. Glad you could get it fixed without any major complications.

People applying legal EU and US regulations about pricing errors to TDs is pretty fucking hilarious to me.

PT imho did nothing wrong unless they haven't refunded or are keeping people's money, or they advertised it at a price to bait sales.... which they haven't done because they fixed their pricing within 4 hours of the mistake.

If you really feel PT is doing you dirty I invite you to file a Help Desk ticket or contact a moderator.

There is no seller that is selling the custom variant for below $2.5k from what I've seen, yes this includes cheaper non TD. The price is set by the "factory".

Again, TDs get the brunt of the blame and finger pointing for something they didn't do wrong on.

If you want this for cheaper, again, like everyone has said, just wait. Even with the 2.5k price tag this is still half price from the original price tag 3 months ago.

From what I’ve seen, the vast majority of these watches don’t work. I hope puretime can test their reliability before sending them out.
But I’ve never seen such a high failure rate on a rep watch model

Many of the gears on these are fake as well. Some of these even seem to have a large fake escape wheel clearly visible from the front. There may be a few more real gears here but honestly it's not a lot more and I'm also very confused by the price.

 

[SuperLory]

At 2.5K usd is a one-off run ..at 800 to 1000usd is a proper selling proposition for long term revenue

Yeah, I won't be picking a 67-02 up either until they improve the movement (ideally figure out a clone movement, but maybe that's wishful thinking for something that's complex and maybe doesn't have super high demand like a submariner/daytona). A few real gears is infinitely better than absolutely nothing though, especially on a tourbillon like the 27-05.

I'm worried the high price is just a money grab, and then factories are going to inappropriately assume lack of demand when buyers are really just being priced out, squashing any plans for future versions/improvements. If they priced this watch more reasonably/in harmony with other comparable reps with this movement, then I think they'd sell these like hotcakes and thus feel incentivized to keep improving...we'll see what happens. Exciting times!

that is always the conundrum. As i said, at 2.5K they'll hardly sell one run..
