steve445 0 Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Has Josh been responding to anyone else's emails, etc? I ordered a GMT about a month ago, the movement broke so I sent it back to him the day after I got it. He was supposed to send me my tracking number last week. He hasn't been responding to any of my emails... so now I'm getting extremely anxious. Is he on vacation or something? Otherwise, I've been screwed so I need to file a dispute or something and get my money back. From what I understand, he is supposed to be a good dealer... so... Thanks!

Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted September 11, 2011 he's not a trusted dealer here so you are kinda on your own...but whatever you do DO NOT file a paypal dispute!!! give it some more time, you should get your watch back Josh is pretty good at taking care of things in my experience.

sconehead 5 Posted September 11, 2011 ...actually, Josh is on the list under 'other dealers' as he is trusted on some other boards. A good move would be to contact sfa437 who is on the staff on a board where Josh is trusted and he may be able to assist...no promises though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted September 11, 2011 We don't have a 'relationship' with Josh here, so can't help directly but his aftersales service is generally excellent, so I wouldn't worry just yet. Sconey's suggestion is a good one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,355 Posted September 11, 2011 I recently spoke to him. He will usually sort things out. Make sure your dealing with the right web site- alot of Perfect Clone clones out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,355 Posted September 11, 2011 Oh yes; the beloved 'Mooncake Festival' Sept.10-14. Josh is probably baking Mooncakes and is offline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Steve contacts sfa437 and get's no joy then it's time...trust me on this... I guy from other forum was having problems with this man. This Josh simply behaved like an arrogant delinquent. No willigness to sort anything out and a lot of lies. Basically his attitude was 'I have your money and I'm not going to give it back, so you are fucked up'. I think the guy opened a PayPal dispute but no idea about how the things ended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted September 11, 2011 Not that he's a saint, but 'Jos Nana', is usually quite reasonable in dealing with after sales problems. It may be a clone site, we need to know the details. His email is: [email protected] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, I bought my first two reps from him. Then realized I could get the same stuff a lot cheaper elsewhere. Must admit though, he's renowned for his aftersales being amongst the best...strange indeed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g.man 0 Posted September 11, 2011 In the interests of balance I'd like to add that I got my staggeringly awesome Pam187 from Josh only a month ago. While he's not a trusted dealer here, the communication was great and the transaction flawless. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again if he had the goods I wanted. regards g.man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeanusMaximus 0 Posted September 11, 2011 he was very helpful when acquiring my PAM 312, does seem out of character! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rober100 0 Posted September 12, 2011 With this guy everything goes smoth, very talkative, helpful... until he's got your money and until you have a problem he doesn't like or you are scammed by one of his photoshopped pictures on his web. What sconehead said is true. You can get better prices elsewhere. Just contact any trusted dealer here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,355 Posted September 12, 2011 He means he buffs up the pix to look better than they really are. I'm sure he may to some extent, but you're not gonna change a mouse into an elephant. Again- whether you like him or not, Josh does not take money and disappear. He wouldn't be around on the rep fora for so many years if he did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted September 12, 2011 Sure, he wouldn't disappear. His machine works perfectly - he gets your money, sent request to the factory, his relatives (who knows watches less than I know nuclear reactors) pick up the watch from the factory, and ship it to you. QC just doesn't exist. But if you'll get DOA watch or the watch with problems - yes, he'll exchange it fast way, and if the next will be faulty - exchange again... and again... one day, maybe months later you'll get watch, that will work perfectly. Maybe it will be second, maybe 5th. So, I don't see ANY advantage to buy from ant dropshippers - I can buy the same watch, for less, and with great QC, and, practically all our TDs will replace the faulty watch too. So, what's the point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rober100 0 Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) It is not about if you like the guy or not. Everybody in the rep world knows him and his sidekick, so it is up to you. Luthier is picturing his business quite good. I'd add that I have seen cases that prevented me from any dealing with him.
