Member X 91 Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Ok, given that I am still n00bish, and Robert doesn't want to have to answer a million and one questions in different places and about the same thing, I thought I'd start this thread so that it's clear what the offer is! Below is how I understand it will work. Please can those better informed than me confirm whether it is correct, and that will hopefully answer all my questions... (Apologies in advance for being dumb!) So... You have to be an existing customer. This means you can order one watch at full price initially, then when you have received it you can take up the wholesale offer. The prices are wholesale prices and will not get any cheaper. You must order at least 3 watches and no more than 5 in one go. The watches can be whatever watches you want that Robert sells, they don't have to be all the same. No pictures will be available of the watches. Buyers must be aware of the full spec of the watches they are ordering. Buyers should email Robert's team and they will price the watches up then email back. Postage costs are $10 airmail, $30 EMS. EMS is the only option if you pay by PayPal. The watches will be sent in one package. If they are lost in customs, that's tough. There is no second attempt made. If the watches don't make it through the post alive, that's also tough. There are no returns. I think that's it...? Edited August 19, 2009 by Member X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted August 19, 2009 Seems like a reasonable summary, yeah. Definitely not an offer for newbs, but for those of us who have been around for a while, know what we want and are prepared to take a (small) risk in case of customs seizure/loss or damage in transit it's a darned good deal. If I had the surplus dough to buy three or four watches right now, I'd most definitely take him up on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted August 19, 2009 Oscar: Email: [email protected] with a precise description of what you want (or [email protected] if it's something he's listed elsewhere and you simply want to buy). A PM should also work, provided once again you give him the information he needs, but an email is probably the best approach. It's also worth looking at his dealer forums at RWI or RG - be sure to read his terms and conditions as well as the instructions on how to order. Robert is one of the best dealers around - but if he can't tell exactly what you're after from your message, the likelihood is that you will not get a reply. He's straight-talking, no bullshit and honest as the day is long (rare in this business) but it pays to be businesslike in return. I don't know what you said in your PM, but it might be worth trying again and clarifying what you were asking him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P_Diddy 0 Posted August 19, 2009 does that mean EMS charge x 3, if you elect to have them sent in three separate packages? You can have them sent in as many packages as you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted August 19, 2009 does that mean EMS charge x 3, if you elect to have them sent in three separate packages? You can have them sent in as many packages as you want. Ummmm, YES! Stick to two or three and you'll be fine. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted August 19, 2009 does that mean EMS charge x 3, if you elect to have them sent in three separate packages? You can have them sent in as many packages as you want.

The_Monkey 0 Posted August 25, 2009 This is probably as good place as any to ask: Does the "existing customer" line just mean you had to have already purchased something and the list of "existing customers" is now closed? Or could someone order something at normal price to become an "existing customer" and then, assuming the offer is still going, take advantage of it on a later purchase? I can understand why the offer isn't available to first time buyers, no problem there, I'm just wondering how exclusive it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
