Giving good customer service probably disqualified them from being Rolex dealers......
But why didn't they rate it to 200m or even 300m then? As a practical point, how can you separate the effect of the super compressor tech from any other WR tech it has??
....and probably the last, as humans can't survive at that depth!!!
I think that not mentioning the problem dial is a bit naughty!!! OK, if they were up front, that's fine, but not to sneak it in announced. I assumed that they were merely old photos - I'd have been...
That's the snag really - it talks about its 'Super Compressor' heritage technology, but so what? Its 'only' WR to 150m which is only average for today's watches. The technology for high WR these days...
Are you talking about width or height????
Looks perfect if you want to fight off a mugger by smashing them in the face with your watch!!
I thought that - I stared at the pics wondering if I was paranoid, or being hyper critical because of the previous controversy, but they aren't right - presumably it must be that they took a set of...
Amazing that the not long released C65 Super Compressors are already being sold at 60% list!!! They do look great, but for me it's still a lot of money.
So...sort of ebay's GSP, but compulsory? It sounds fine, as long as the price that are adding 20% on to is tax free!
Ah! So this is what 'Taking back control' means....
Does the extra €70 pay for VAT then?
Annoying? Understatement! How could anyone charge €70 for shipping at all, let alone an increase of €70? Do they deliver them by personal delivery in chauffeur driven Mercedes?
I'm not Nostradamus, but there are bound to be unexpected results and unintended consequences from all this, which will keep the pot boiling away! Clearly, hardly anyone was aware of the VAT changes...
I used the ebay GSP system to buy a watch from the USA, and it was great except that the USPS took forever to send it across the US to the ebay GSP centre in Kentucky! (btw it got from there to my...
When I bought something from them it direct from Singapore - I remember 'cos I felt misled by the website that claimed it was in UK stock! I nearly bought something else from them, and that was in...
Singapore, in my experience, though of course it may vary, depending.
Then there is the interesting point about the legal nature of ebay.....are we buying from ebay, or are they merely facilitating a sale between an individual and another individual or company? I...
That leaves me slightly confused as well! I can't see how we will not have to pay VAT to a Govt at some point, but since under the deal we have tariff free trade, we shouldn't have any customs duties...
Without going into the politics of it, I feel you are being a little naive if you think the politics of Brexit is over - this one will continue to run and run....
I'm baffled. I presumed we would always have paid VAT or the local equivalent somewhere along the line eg when I bought my Steinhart, I presume that the cost included German VAT/Sales Tax, but I...
Who would possibly buy that?? Or were they produced by Trump as his idea of suitable Xmas presents?? You could possibly imagine Kim Jong-un having something similar made....
One wonders what C-virus restrictions would affect sending a bit of silicone and steel from Germany to the UK!!! I noticed that a French tyre company who sell to the UK are saying that they can't...
'Not a waiting list, but preferred clients' - what a way to run a business!! I was going to say open for abuse and discrimination, but of course, that's exactly what they intend!
Now I would be a...
