E-mailed him from here, using the e-mail against his listing and the form on his website. NO response what so ever. Am I missing something?

I believe that most dealers are swapped right now and it seems the first thing that suffers is communications. Hopefully things will return to normal after the holiday season.

same here. I have not received any answer from PT for more than two weeks, which I find quite strange. In the past, PT did always answer super fast and detailed. PT was always an excellent dealer.
That new strange safety warning that blocks me from his page is also very strange.
Does anyone know what is happening there???
I don't see any other EU-based trusted dealer than PT (apart from narikaa, who doesn't have the watches that I want), is there any???

Ah well seems PT has jogged on for good.

Ever heard about christmas?
You know that big holiday, when everybody have their asses full of work?
Those weeks of the year when post offices around the world have most work of the entire year, because there´s so many orders to every post order company in the world?

Jeeeezuz...

I never knew replying to emails is all down to post offices. Plus emails were sent weeks ago with no reply.

Maybe read the rest of the thread before trying to be a smart arse.

Hi Razor, welcome to the forum.

Maybe you should calm it a little? Epimetheus and Balad are right that this is the busiest time of year, and the one thing that you need with this hobby is patience.

PT is a respected and trusted dealer, and members here may well get a little annoyed if new members with 7 post count start accusing PT of "jogging on" or doing a runner with their money, or whatever.

The admins have a working relationship with all the trusted dealers, and if you don't hear anything in a week or two try PM'ing one of them, they should be able to help you.

Try reading PT's review section, that should put your mind at rest. Remember the TD's are one or two men operations - this is not Wal-Mart we are talking about. Really, I shouldn't worry just yet.

Most dealers can ship to the UK if that's where you are.
If elsewhere in Europe, I believe ReplicaMake can ship through a 3rd party in th UK.
I doubt PreciousTime is gone. This is the time of year most dealers get far more requests and emails and orders than they can respond to each day.
Hopefully you kept your email short and simple. These guys aren't proficient in English so if they open an email and it is a novel containing 20 questions each about 4 different versions of the same watch, then you will never get any response - especially this time of year.
Good luck.

And maybe you should have just a little more respect for your fellow member.
PT have gone no where, they have an issue with their website involving a malicious re-direct that some hacker has installed in the page. He is trying to have his developer fix the issue.

What email are you using? I last spoke with him on the 12th of this month.

Can you imagine how all of the little children around the world would feel if Santa Clause didn't read his mail 2 or 3 weeks before Christmas.
:thinking:
How do you think you would feel if you happened to be one of those cute little kids who had been good all year and someone said "Ever hear about Christmas? You know that big holiday........."

You must never ever forget that when it comes to getting a new rep it is always like Christmas and we are all just a bunch of cute little kids unable to sleep because of the anticipation of our new toys arrival.

True Santa is not dressed in a red suit and in most cases he does not have a long white beard and he most certainly does not arrive in a sliegh.

But my wife knows just when I ordered a new rep because I always keep a glass of milk and a plate of cookies by the front door. Just in case Santa is a bit hungry after his long voyage from China.

Yes E,
I have heard of Christmas. It lives in the hearts of every little boy and girl around the world and it also lives in the hearts of all of us rep watch-a-holics
as well.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE :)

very funny, guys.
The thing that makes me and others wonder is that PT doesn't seem to regularly log on to the forum anymore. In the past, he was online at RWI everyday. Now, his last visit was on 12-10, the visit before that was 12-2. On both visits, he didn't even read my PM in which I very briefly announced that I want o order a particular watch. The thing that interests me is if he is planning to stop business here or if it's just the trouble with his page that keeps him from doing business right now. And if yes, when will he be available for business again? Losing PT would be awful, because I loved buying from him and I don't see an alternative for EU residents right now.

Apart from Narikaa don't forget that Lay (ReplicaMake) now can ship from the UK so there is one new alternative right there. And, if you stay tuned another may not be far away ;)

could you add a little sense to your post and tell us what happened with your order?
I'm still concerned that PT has left the business. He has not read my pm for over a month.

Wold you put a sock in it already?

When you write this kind of things, you will start a rumor.
Starting a rumor will create bad rep to the dealer and make members worried for nothing.

Nothing good comes out of this.
Please take it private with the Mods and Admins if you are so eager to know.
Taking this public isn´t good for anyone.

Please calm down...
