It must be nice to travel like that every weekend! I cant even afford to stay at home resting on the weekends. I mow lawns and clean swimming pools on weekends JUST to feed my kids.
I bet you drive a Maybach or a Ferrari dont you?

Actually it's a PITA but I have to do it as I have other business in Greece so it's just from one office to the other really nothing glamorous that's for sure.

Car wise I have a Lexus 430 in Bangkok a Porsche 4x4 in Athens and a Bentley continental in the UK but I am also in the car trade in all these countries so all down to the company.
I export used Mercedes/BMw's etc to the Far East from UK
I import Japanese cars to the UK and Import LHD cars into Greece pay enormous amounts of VAT and tax so having these cars actually costs me nothing in real terms. If I were paying personally I would have a 5 year old Ford!

This is apart from the less legal businesses I have also.
While I have very good management staff in both UK and Greece the staff in Thailand with one or two exceptions would struggle to be called average hence I need to spend 5 days a week in Bangkok.
Because if I am not there in Bangkok the staff are more akin to headless chickens that management material

I work 16 hour days 7 days a week and have done for the last 30 years so no secret about how I have money now anyone can do it if they try and are prepared to work, just be prepared to have no home life and disastrous relationships

Can you get me a toyota yaris with a Bentley badge. I reckon I could pull that off. Plus its all I can afford. :)

Some peaple live very interesting lives. I have always wondered how they got into the jobs they have. Not because I'm jealous just because I find it very interesting.

747 don't think interesting is a word that immediately springs to mind if I were describing what I do. Complicated/Aggravating/Frustrating/Problematic/High Risk are probably better descriptions

You sound like a very busy man, T4D, and I love your honesty and bluntness in telling it how it is. You seem to have a very entrepreneurial slant, which is a great gift to have... The ability and propensity to work hard is a must, but every now and then one also needs to take risks to break through... What other lines of business are you in (that you can mention here, of course)?

LOL, very funny wat. Robert is not alone in geting "interesting" customers nor is it a recent happening.

I present for your reading plesure and education a very old post from the early days of the origenal RWG (back when there was only one) a post by the imortal Eddie Lee on complaints:


Eddie Lee:

QUOTE
The case is too big,,,even the case is the right size. By the case----is the size without the crown…..i had 2 chargeback because not as described….the buyers include the crown guard….when doing the measuring…
The dial is too flat., even it is the same jet black as original
The hologram is not perfect, even the hologram is pretty well made already.
The font is 0.05nm too think, too short, tooo long….
The noise from the automatic rotor is too loud…as loud as the 747 jet plane engines.
The crystal is too flat, too round, too dome, too this or that.
The lever is too loose, or too tight.
The bezel is too tight.
The bezel is too loose
The band is too cheap.
The bracelet is too light
The bracelet is too heavy, not like original which weighs 20 grams,,,while the rep bracelet weighs 21 gram.
The second hand is too jerky, not sweeping like original
The hour hand is not radioactive like original
The min hand is not plutonium plated like watches from Pluto.
The dial is not as luminous as my Seiko or my original 90,000usd Breguet
The case is too light , feel cheap, and not made of lead like your diving belt
The leather is like plastic,but more like my pam Anderson inflatable love doll.
The buckle is 0.12942588341244mm too fat.
The case back is not right…because the serial is written on 10 oclcok while the original is written at 6 oclock ( dude,,,u need to rotate the case back if u like,,,,,)
The hologram number is 1 letter extra.
The tracking is not working,,,,are you trying to scam me????
The bezel click sound is cheap like plastic….original is more like pitching at 64hz frequency.
How the fxxk you adjust the links on my ralex bracelet? Why screwdriver not included?
How do I get the bracelet off? This is a piece of sxxt….!!!
FXXKER,,,, the piece is not working.,….( handwind…dude….u need to handwind the movt)
FXXXKER,,,,why the piece is not running ? ( 7750b1,,,,did you read my “mad cow†procedure for 7750b1, 7753, 7750, 21j ?)
This is a disaster!!!! It has been 3 weeks,,,why no watch yet? ( u have to go to post office to get it….u were not at home….that is why…..)
Where the fxxxk is the tracking??????
If you don’t return my email now, I will call paypal now!
If you don’t send me tracking, I will go for chargeback
If you don’t replace it, I will go to forum and tell everyone.,,,,( even the buyers have wore the item for over 3 months or longer,,,,etc,,,)
Why custom stop my package? Because it is their jobs.
Why has custom issue,…because replica is illegal
Why other sellers never have custom issues? Because they are smart, me as a seller is dumb,,,I write “ fake replica 100usd rolex “ on the declaration form.
Why I have to pay taxes? Because your govt needs taxes.

My points …
You want to avoid these issues. Please buy the genuine one
If i or any sellers mentioned, we will get you the parts. U will get the parts. It just takes time.
You, just relax and wait for the piece to arrive. Don’t keep on asking for tracking. Not all tracking are working.
You want to take your pieces to go swimming ? I will say…go ahead.
( But I did not say it will survive after the swim)
Don’t ask any seller why your pieces are not waterproof to 200m like original.
Be happy what you have now. You can always go outside the forum to venture out if you wish. All sellers on board have life outside the forums. Some like to party, some like to talk to chicks, some like to go drinking, some like to smoke some herbal medicine daily for “therapeutic reasonâ€, some like to get lucky on pay day….etc…..same as you, as a buyer. ---we all have life beside the forums.

We don’t return emails not because we did not receive your emails. We are just ignoring you, because in the last 24 hours, you have shooted over 50 mails to my account talking the same thing. We all will do our best to get you the parts, support, and service we can afford to offer. When we have tracking, we will forward you.

In short, be cool, maintain your cool, and relax.


I just received a royal treatment from a forum member. A paypal chargeback. Because it did not EXCEED his expectation.

In other words, friends, it's a big world out there, and many sides (and cultures) to the story. Like surfing or kiteboarding in an unfamiliar spot, get to know your way around a little before you just start thrashing around...
