Great post ,it really brings it home to you that what you say is correct,only buy from trusted dealers.i think it might be the gambler in us all that makes some of us want to take a chance and buy from outside the trusted dealers but when you see the result it speaks for itself.in the past i have been tempted and bought from other dealers and have been lucky but from now on i will be taking your advice.well done ,in this case seeing is believing.

Oh God the hundreds of boxes I have opened and seen this type of thing. It's like a Vietnam flashback.

Thanks for posting this.
And thanks for posting pictures of the watches
received.
This is a whole different paradigm for most shoppers in the US. We're used to
the convenience of proximity and US consumer protections.
I have been that....oh...let's say Steve Zissou thundering into open waters to save money.
Then the pirates attack, slice up an intern, leave their dog as I fruitlessly shoot into their
boat from the fantail.......I've chased a watch into no-man's land, gotten burned, fruitlessly
shoot emails back to China as I take care of the three legged dog-of-a-watch I'm stuck with.

Please...someone get the analogy. Please. Or I've just had a psychotic fugue on this
board for nothing.....

What the f*** is a fugue.

Kudos to you D4M, u've done a great length to the RWI by showing us the cruel world of the internet scamer that would do anything to steal your money.
