The problem is that some complain, and MORE buy.. There has to be some sense of loyalty to Josh and Andrew as they have been here a while. I am not bashing Brand 9, but he come on board, post some stolen pics, has some great sales and a lot of people change to his side. This will take a good chunk out of their business. I am a believer that this will all work out or Josh and Andrew may move on.

Yup, we know that description and photo is directly stolen from Josh/Trusty. You can tell by the fact they claimed it was a Swiss 2892 first. 8)

Yeah, the irony. It's biting.

Guys, calm the faux-outrage for now, relax, enjoy Chinese New Year.

If you have the same product as another dealer, take your own damn pics man, who knows they might turn up better.

Funny this statement is. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm not saying that I like the photo issue, I just think it is freakin hilarious that we have replica
watch dealers going bonkers over replicated photo's. (Again, if my efforts went into taking pick, I'd probably be upset too).

When does an exclusive watch (like this B&R) become available to all other dealers?

Maybe has two or three answers.....

1. After a set period of time (2,3,4,5 months)?

2. When Dealer does not move the amount quoted to the factory before exclusive watch replicated? Promised more sales than what actually sold.?

3. When China became China ? Where Items become replicated before even being released.

Hi,

You continue in you feable and unconvincing attempt to defend Brand9.. It has became too obvious.....and It is really looking bad and stupid for you ... You yourself... fighting this battle.. is the funny issue.

We are not talking about 1 pic or 2 pics or even 20 pics.. Its the whole website.. Pics and descriptions..

How many times must I tell you .. I am the maker of this watch . i control who to sell to .... you continue to mislead the members here that soon yourr favourite dealer brand9 will get this watch and that those are supplier pics.. .. Please .. if I dun sell to him.. where can he get the watches ?

Pathetic !

And meanwhile B9 continues to sell watches and pile up good reviews.

@Josh

You keep saying that daytona4me and myself has agenda, I say you have an agenda and sure isn't outrage over some photos.

You do keep saying that B9 is given too much slack due to his recent donations to the forum, every cent that comes into the forum goes back into the forum in the form or upgrades and give a ways.

What motive could we possibly have when no money is involved, we take every donated watch and GIVE IT AWAY to the members, we could easily raffle it for a buck a ticket and make $300.00 but we don't because on our end of this deal it is and never had been about money. I've never even gotten so much as a discount on a watch with the exception of WBK who knocked off $5.00 once without me asking.
I do not expect discounts or money for helping administrate this forum and neither does daytona4me.

So if we take money out of the equation, what is our agenda?

The members and their best interest, always has been and always will be our agenda.

The real story here is not outrage over photos or outrage over an exclusive watch (which has already been resoved)

The real story here is that you want to sqash the competition.

B9 has great prices, great watches is in CONUS accepts credit cards and has excellent customer service.
This is the real issue here, competition.

For years dealers have insinuated that they really don't even need rep forums, almost as if you are doing us favor by being here, then all of the sudden some real competition shows up and OH MY GOD does it become painfully obvious how much money you must really make off these forums, fighting tooth and nail to get him shut down as fast as possible.

I am interested in our members getting high quality products for the best price and having good customer service, if B9 is that big of a threat to you then blow him out on price and service, you are right there at the source and have the experience, go for it!

But that would mean lower profit margins, wouldn't it? Hence the outrage.

Why is it that you and Trusty can accept credit cards all of the sudden? For years dealers said it was impossible, now it seems that all of the sudden all things are possible, I guess in reality the members should thank B9 for creating competition that creates a better buying situation for all of us.

Competition is good for the consumer and the real issue is cold hard cash, who are you trying to kid?

This much was obvious by the way they behaved when I suggested they may be slightly misleading us. I'm still suffering from that shit-storm.

Bravo, Bigshooter. You have my respect and support.

@Shooter
Finally some reason here. I thought I was the only one that saw this painfully obvious fact.

To everyone who buys watches...Competition is good. The picture thing, for those that buy watches, is not our problem. If you don't agree than just don't buy from B9A. Simple stuff.

I am a typical American. I like to buy something and get it fast and at a good price. If a dealer here is in the US and can meet my needs I will buy from him first no thought about it. and those sales that B9 are having in the dealers section no one has ever offered those prices before to us. I have already purchased one from that sale. And so far ir has been a good experience, they contacted me with in minutes with a paypal form and sent my tracking number in less than 15 minutes. I think that is great customer service. I think Bigshooter is right when he sais that competition is a good thing. I think we are about to see some price drops 8) and that is good for us buyers for sure.

as much as I agree with bigshooter and d4me...
I can also understand where josh and andrew are coming from....
i'd be upset too....if they were really my photos being stolen.....

like bigshooter said....competition is good.

a FAIR competition that is.....

doing a online business with stolen pictures from other competitor is not considered as a FAIR competition....regardless of that business being a selling illegal rep. or not.

just my two cents......

it would be much worse if they were not delivering the goods..

curious as to why they did not get photos from suppliers..

not a nice and neat situation...

tho to their credit, however small, they have said that all

photos are being replaced..

If B9 compensates Josh and Andrew for Pics, or continues to take his own they will still complain. he is getting considerably more sales since his involvement in the site. That is the bottom line, Josha and Andrew are losing sales. Even if he got permission, paid for photos and set up site they would still find a reason to be upset. Noone likes to lose.

Yes, stealing photos is bad, but their reaction was an obvious faux-outrage, aimed at garnering the support of their fans, when in reality all they've done is assaulted a forum Admin and shown a dark underbelly.

there seems to be more than one agenda going on here . Many cages getting rattled to disparage who and what...If Brand9 cleans up and gets his own photos will that solve everything? If so great, if not then why. Are his watches inferior quality, does he not communicate well? what's the real beef here? Do you dealers need to settle this in the back room?

This is today :arrow: http://replica-watch.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17038

everyone respects Sir Rupert Murdoch, he is self made

multi-billionaire...

(also pirate guy too..)

he says:

There is only one rule in business, and that is: there are no rules.

when faced with competition..

what to do, nephew?

The irony is, because of all this commotion and sudden interest, he is getting a lot more traffic on his section of the forum. This very thread "Yachtmaster from Brand9", with all the arguing back and forth, has been on the top of the General forum for a few days now, and in all honesty is what drew my curiosity in checking out B9A's section. This led to me already buying a Tag Carrera chrono quartz from him yesterday at a great price (70$ shipped), I have a tracking number already and I am waiting to have it delivered.

Josh and Andrew offer a much greater selection, usually a better product with higher quality movements but also higher prices. When I want higher quality I will make sure to visit their shops. However, there is also room for B9A for the less expensive stuff, while he proves himself.

Competition is good, simply the law of supply and demand. In this case, more supply for us drives the price down.
