They can all get the same ones. Just email them a picture of what you are after and they will get back to you with a price

Best name ever for us ! Gotta copyright that quick !

Y'all are talking about insurance, brushed as per gen, but what about :

- Springbar as per gen
- Same screw threading as gen
- Same lume as gen (tested with spectrophotometer) 

Touched by JD or zocker (boom, instant price hike)

Came back 2 days ago? From where and how long? All this time we were under the impression he was back since January 1 working hard on shipping items from Jan. 5.  A mass email to his customers just simply stating "Hello. I will be away from XXXX to YYYYY due to ZZZZZ. I apologize for the additional inconvenience." It didn't even have to be tailored to each individual customer.
Asking for more details of your missing item is worrisome. He does not have a list somewhere of who ordered what and what he shipped to whom? That's very reassuring (NOT) and just reinforces the impression that he only cares about the money. After that, all bets are off. Without a simple list, what's to prevent him for saying "I shipped your order already." when he didn't or shipping the wrong item to the wrong customer or even worse, shipping multiples of the same item to the customer because he doesn't have a record if he already shipped the item to the customer and the customer asked him if the item shipped already, thereby increasing the delay for other customers because of it? It's a humongous clusterfuck of an operation.
I don't understand the need to give him excuses to fail you. Takes time to translate messages? Google translate may not be perfect but English Korean is perfectly passable and takes less than 10 seconds. Louie knew full well that the his customer base at RWI/RWG/RG was mainly composed of either Westerners or people who used English as a common means for communication.  He should have been prepared for it going in (he could have even hired someone whose sole purpose was to read and answer emails). Besides, he allegedly encountered similar communication and order fulfillment issues when he was dealing with native Korean customers so where's the language barrier there?
C'mon guys, hold him to his word. He will only improve his standards if you don't say it's okay or understandable why he's constantly disappointing you.

I think everyone is hoping and praying that he'll send them their watch so will do anything to help to make it happen.  I think we've all gone through the phases of denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance of if it comes, it comes.  What I hate is that LL will post something out of the blue making everyone's heart beats faster with false hopes and promises.  I just hope that everyone eventually gets their watches.  I hope that this thread will be dead this time next year.

Well said, guys. That sympathetic victim attitude is a form of the Stockholm Syndrome.

Go for it Stu.

Get on his website ... place your order ... if he doesn't accept payment yet, then send it to me. I will hold it for you.
