So no personal (verifiable) experience?

Just a regurgitation of stuff you saw.

 

Based on other prices you see in Australia, I don’t think his second hand prices are as outlandish as people make out. You can find them cheaper of course but with a bit more risk and he has bricks and mortar to pay for.

 

Add to that, whatever profit he makes for his business is being directed into a developing watch manufacturing industry, paying for extremely expensive machinery and accessories, paying young people who are learning skills. If I pay a few bucks over normal "on-line" prices then I consider it well spent, not getting ripped off.

 

A bit like the TRF scam issue at the moment.....

I see what you did there Jim

 

Is there something going on over there?



Only two days old and up to thirty pages already!

I suspect they have only scratched the top of the pimple.

 

Funny thing is they think he works where he said he worked. The bullshit artist hasn’t worked for a while

 

Not easy to start a watch manufacturing business. Hard enough to buy the gear, design the product and get those pieces out the door, without critics and scammers of all stripes dragging you down. I wish Mr. Hacko well. He seems to be tough and determined to succeed. Good on him. Respect.

 

To forum members who follow our journey with interest: here is a first short video in mini series titled "Manufactured in Australia". In essence, even a single watch part goes to number of design and manufacturing steps - from CNC and manual milling, turning, EDM wire cutting, hobbing to hand polishing, decoration and anodizing. Our next video will be more detailed, following a birth of a single part from raw material to installed and tested watch component. Thank you for watching.

 

Sorry mate, old news, already seen it (a few times).



(Waiting patiently for the next one).
