Stated that I really don't get why on earth rarebear kept on buying from WE after having such disappointing experiences (mate, if u dont stop ordering from them and then posting all your disappointment with the unwanted reps and low rated service, people will start thinking something odd is going on here...) I do believe in these threads. They offer useful material, whatever is readers point of view. It's quite clear the forum is doing its job perfectly, reporting, discussing, sharing and comparing opinions on trusted dealers and their policies.
That said, it seems to me that WE is not trusted so much by RWI members, as I only saw a few rare posts going "I bought a watch from them and it was ok" (which actually dont add much, cos reliability should never be a matter of luck) in a sea of "NOT the watch I ordered", "bad experience with WE", "watch is broken", "strap is NOT leather", "same case? NO", "glass is badly lopsided", "broken pusher fell off", "they dont want to refund, they only offer repair", "asking for extra money", "4 weeks for refund" (why on earth 4 weeks btw? Are they selling old cans to raise enough dosh to refund or counting nickels one by one?)...and on and on and on..
Once in a while you can see a new thread by Watcheden promoting thrilling news. Why don't they reply in running threads dealing with actual issues, instead of opening new generic threads with useless statements about their awesome "QC"? Is it UKASIA posting for them lolz?
Anyway the new threads generally sound like this to me :
"Dear friends in RWI, Watcheden is happy to announce that we have implemented extra QC and are now offering free noodles. We never dropship, we personally check and assemble those creative frankens put together using vintage Commodore 64 parts, cork glasses and brass-plated pushers from plastic toy trumpets. Obviously what you see is what you get. Problem is what did you see? Light was never enough to spot the right dustbin, so whatever you got, sorry it is not our issue. Feel free to suggest, we are trying our best to improve

Seriously, they should face the issues their own clients are raising, instead of stubbornly acting deaf. I have no interest in that, for I will never order from them. But their own customers are all they have, cos even last minute noobs read threads and more greedily the ones dealing with complaints.
Adopting a wrong policy in here is a good way to give something in return for nothing.
