iabounty 8 Posted March 8, 2009 Having spent several hours of my afternoon watch shopping at HOS I finally had 1 Rolex DJ two tone with pearl dial, 1 Rolex DD full gold with pearl dial and Roman numerals and a PP Cal. with brown leather strap in my cart. I was sober while shopping and attempting to check out by the way....... I followed the check out directions and gave my name, address, ect. and left a message in the box that I am planning on doing a review on the watches on RWG, told them I had fun shopping for watches on their site and wished them a great year........... The next screen I expected to see was the one I filled out my Visa card numbers................. No such thing.......... I got an email that thanked me for my pre order but NO payment info had been given to them.. WTF....... Is this normal??? I have never bought from HOS before........ Help!!!!!!!

swissaddict 0 Posted March 9, 2009 sorry!... i missed the bit about having never bought from him before, my mistake i've never bought from him either, but i know allergydoc has.. when he comes by he'll have something more helpful to say i'm sure. in the meantime, don't worry, lawrence (HOS) has been around for a while and is known for being a good guy so whatever happens, you haven't been screwed!

AllergyDoc 40 Posted March 9, 2009 He emails you and gives you his PP addy. This is how I ordered from him. That was last year, though. I don't know if he's changed things recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted March 9, 2009 He emails you and gives you his PP addy. This is how I ordered from him. That was last year, though. I don't know if he's changed things recently. That's normal procedure, yes - unless he's changed things recently. Don't worry IA - he'll be in touch - usually within 24 hours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted March 9, 2009 He emails you and gives you his PP addy. This is how I ordered from him. That was last year, though. I don't know if he's changed things recently. I talk to Lawrence on Messenger on quite regular basis, and I bought few reps from him, no any problems. I emailed him, he gave me his PP email, I transferred money, and got my reps. Pure pleasure. He's very nice guy, and lives near area in KL, where I used to live years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two minutes later I was finished with the payment process. Thanks Doc. and Greg. He does seem to be a very nice guy as you state Luthier. He went out of his way to thank me several times in the 3 emails he sent to me after my pre-order....... (The pe-order thing is what got me shook up...... I will know better next time.) Now the waiting game begins........3 watches at once this time, but the total is under $200. I love it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iabounty 8 Posted March 10, 2009 Update. I got another email from HOS today saying "Please allow 2 days for checking the item and packaging." Is this a quality control step or am I being to optimistic? He really is a super nice dealer, at least he comes off that way to me at this stage of the transaction...... I have every reason to expect a positive outcome. Will make updates as needed..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted March 12, 2009 No emails from HOS today........ Nothing new to report on my order. Over and out........ Yup - it'll go quiet now unless you've paid the extra for EMS. Don't worry, though - your watches will be visually checked, wrapped in a polishing cloth and despatched within the next couple of days. You should get 'em in about 2 weeks.

iabounty 8 Posted March 14, 2009 An email was waiting for me yesterday when I got home from work. My Rolex DD and DJ had been sent but I was told the current PP's had problems and he did not want to send it out. He gave me 3 options. wait for the next batch, refund the money for the watch or choose a different watch...... I like his style and I like choices. I started watch shopping again on his HOS site and found a Breguet Classique I really like for $3 USD less than the PP. I emailed him if that would work for him and mentioned I would like it shipped EMS for the price difference. (Yes I am a cheap bastard...) I have not heard back from him with his thoughts yet. I had never bothered to look at Breguet before and had no idea I was missing out on such a classy looking watch If you want to take a peek at it it is BRE066 Gold case, white dial on leather.
