zOwie Omega Discussion Forum

: I'm very sorry this happened.
: Me too, as are probably most posters here

:

:

: I've asked Zowie to post a warning on their site but they won't.
: I have no Idea who you have asked or when or how, but I've never
: recieved an E-mail on this subject & I don't recall reading
: a post asking for this. Having now just checked ths thread, I
: see you asked in 2002. I can't find too many posts by yourself (
: 45 in total under the name Stephen ) so I guess you have been
: lurking & posting infrequently for quite a while now. If so
: I'm a bit amazed at your following comments. But firstly, back
: to your request.

: The Zowie Forum & The CHRONOCENTRIC website is NOT affiliated
: to ANY watch dealer/company whatsoever.

: The site was the SOLE property of Derek Ziglar, until his untimely
: death a couple of years ago. After this Jeff Stein (
: Co-moderator of our sister Heuer Forum ) took over ownership.
: Chuck Maddox is the other Co-moderator on the Heuer Forum. I
: started to Co-moderate the OMEGA forum with Keith Downing almost
: exactly 2 years ago.

: So we 5 people "ARE" Zowie - in the official sense.
: No-one can speak for Derek & I will only speak for myself,
: But this is my stance on this point.

: Authentic Watches is a grey market watch dealer. We ( - from this
: oint WE refers to Zowie/Chroncentric & the majority of our
: forums members ) do NOT recommend that anybody buys watches from
: Authentic Watches or ANY other Grey Market watch dealer.

: If we were to post a warning about Authentic Watches, then we
: should also post about ALL Grey Market watch dealers. I don't
: have a list of them ( or even interest in making a list ).
: That'd be a never ending list, that constantly changes as
: various companies come & go.

: We can ( & do ) regularly send requestors information on our
: "forum Authorized Dealer". For legal reasons we will
: NOT post these details, but they are available for ANYONE who
: asks. ( MMC / Turbinator / Chuck Maddox or John Rochowicz can
: help you ). This dealer will give you a great price on a BRAND
: NEW Omega watch, service that cannot be beaten & all the
: safety of knowing that you have purchased a 100% legal watch
: from a 100% legal Omega supported Authorized Dealer.

: Sure you may save a few more dollars, by going "Grey",
: But, hey, read this thread to see what kind of risks you are
: taking!

:

:

: They must have ties with them or something
: Nope, as I stated above, we have no ties in anyway whatsoever to
: ANY watch dealer. Not even the AD that we recommend. We just
: like to pass on info on the good guys !

: At this stage I should point out that I have RARELY edited or
: deleted a post. You WILL find posts from people in our forum who
: have had a good experience by using Grey Market dealers. This
: doesn't mean that we recommend them. It means we respect the
: posters opinions & they have a right to express it. THAT'S
: ALL.

: Like the various safety clauses state on DVD etc. "The
: opinions expressed here, by individuals, DO NOT neccessarily
: reflect the manangements opinion"

:

:

: - way too many people have been scammed by these guys.
: I can't believe they're still in business.
: I hope you are now referring to Authentic Watches & not
: "us" ( Zowie or Chronocentric ) _ I will assume you
: ARE referring to Authentic Watches. & I agree 100%

: Please take some time & scan through our forum. I think you'll
: find that we DO NOT recommend Grey Market dealers. But we DO
: recommend a great AD.

: If more people took the time to do this, Authentic Watches &
: others would have fewer customers.

: If we are asked, we recommend against it. But we are not always
: asked. & quite often all we get are the complaints
: afterwards.

:

:

: Amazing how we, good people, have zero power to protect themselves
: from online thieves, or better yet, bloody pirates.
: Yes you DO have the power. KNOWLEDGE is power. do some research
: BEFORE you spend your money.

: Prevention is always better than Cure.

: But having spent your money then coming here to Complain / Cry
: about poor service isn't really doing anyone much good is it ?

: All I can thank you for is that hopefully other prospective
: customers learn from your mistakes.

: Please let me finish this post as I started my expressing my
: commiserations to anyone who has bought from Authentic watches
: or any other Grey Market dealer. We don't recommend it, never
: have & never will.

Hi,

"We can ( & do ) regularly send requestors information on our "forum Authorized Dealer". For legal reasons we will NOT post these details, but they are available for ANYONE who asks.

Can you send me this list please?

Thanks
