the last dealing with TWP turned me off to the point I have become stagnet on any board or reps for that matter. I seem to never post or lurk either. i went from hours a day to maybe once a week. In the end I was one of the lucky ones getting a refund and I wish everyone else did as well.
Since others have dregged this thread up... I'll go ahead and add my .02cents.
I purchased 2 watches from TWP last November, both through the board here... I received one in mid-December and it wasn't as advertised. I expected a watch without a bezel and a damaged band and a second new condition, dead movement watch to pull parts from... I got the watch without a bezel and a dead watch with all the usable parts already stripped.... never got the parts I needed. He never made good on it even after multiple promises to ship the parts I needed.
The other watch I didn't receive till sometime in February (I think)...
On both watches I received several "your watch shipped" emails... then waited weeks and nothing... then excuses... then nothing... then finally I find that basically I paid about 500$ for a SSD and a Swiss SFSO... and between the two have one functional/wearable watch and a pile of crap parts. I sold the SFSO parts (Less movement) to cover some of my loss... but in the end I figure I paid about 380$ for a SSD and a spare ETA 2824-2.
I think that if i ever purchase another rep, I'll stick with Josh/Andrew (and DSN)... they might charge a bit more, but at least they deliver what they promise.
I don't think (other than WBK) I'll ever buy another watch from a CONUS dealer (WBK excluded... he's done me fine several times)
