Just a Couple of "Wrap Up" Points
In Response To: I have a number of elaboration/thoughts I'll add… ()

    I'm very sorry this happened. I've asked Zowie to post a warning on their site but they won't. They must have ties with them or something - way too many people have been scammed by these guys. I can't believe they're still in business. Amazing how we, good people, have zero power to protect themselves from online thieves, or better yet, bloody pirates.


I believe that Steve and Chuck have addressed every point, but just to be certain, let me add a couple of points.

  • Derek Ziglar owned Chronocentric.com (and this "Zowie" Discussion Forum), until his death in May 2005
  • Some months after Derek's death, at the request of Derek's family, I took ownership of Chronocentric
  • I have never received any e-mail, through Zowie, requesting that we post a warning about Authentic or any other gray market dealers
  • We have no affiliation or relationship with any dealer (gray market or authorized); we have never received a nickel, a watch or anything of value from any dealer; etc.

Write to me at onthedash@bellsouth.net, if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Jeff
