Were there many orders to Birmingham, Eddie?

I can't identify the seller from the username.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

The ad states the warranty is dated 24 Sept 2020.
For £2.99 - you can find out his paypal address...........
(might help)
No surprise, the previous model usually fetches around 480 quid...
By the way, is there any kind of limit in the number of watches anyone can buy on a single order?

Meanwhile there'll be longstanding members here who had input to the design of the watch who missed out. Of course it's the seller's to do with as he wishes, but it stinks all the same. IMHO.
F.T.F.A.
It was shipped on the 17th but there's nobody called Jason on that date. I think it might be 0820866.

I agree, flippers should be banned.

I know who it is and he's now banned.

Good on you Eddie and good riddance to him.

It was his watch, so he can sell it where he wants. Is there another rule stating any different.
Wrong to be banned, imo.
This episode comes as no surprise, all the excellent reviews, and YouTube vids, TF watches are now bound to be attractive to those in search of a quick buck, I expect the Navigator and Silver Jubilee to be oversubscribed, unfortunately it's people who take an interest in the development of the product who ultimately miss out.
Well done for the ban.

Eddie isn't stopping him from selling it on eBay.
He's just banned him from the forum and I suspect from future direct purchases from TF.
As the proprietor of a business, it's perfectly up to him to make that call.
Sales posts masquerading as normal posts are frowned on, but it would have been fine for the seller to ask for advice on what he could do.
So if anyone else is in the same position, ask on a thread. Someone will help you if EP is busy.
Well done Eddie and sad to see the 'it's his watch he can do what he wants with it' brigade chirping their usual crap again. Name and shame.
There’s no waiting list, it was first come, first served!
Whilst it’s true that it’s the buyer’s watch to do as he pleases, it’s also true that it’s Eddie’s business and forum so he can choose who stays or goes and who he wants to sell his watches to in the future.
It’s also a fact that the values reached for these sales on eBay only serve to increase demand for his watches (a la Rolex), so good to see that he’s actually trying to discourage this sort of behaviour and allow genuine enthusiasts to enjoy his watches.
Quite disappointing to see ppl actually bulk order the watch so that they can make it as side hustle. And for watch enthusiasts like myself waited for mths that keen to get the watch and only been told their order has been cancel because diskhead like this snatch all the extra to make some cash out of it.....
It defeat the whole purpose of Eddie effort making limited number to be appreciate and enjoy by watch fans.

As someone who's still holding their breath on whether my 36mm will get canceled, seeing this annoys me. We see the same thing happen with sneaker enthusiasts. Ruins the whole fun for everyone.
Sad to see it happen, especially with so many of us missing out on this one. I'm one from the 'cancelled' group, so it hits hard like a truck. But that's how the world is, huh?
