Eddie you have probably gained a few new customers, I am quite fancying a PRS 3, like date window at 6 o'clock very well balanced looking. :D

There was a bunch of lawyers flying to a law convention. The plane crashed killing all the lawyers but the crew all escaped. What do you call that? A good start. :wink: :twisted:

While I genuinely cant really be bothered dragging this on I have to say Eddie does seriously annoy me. It wouldnt be so bad if he remained at TZ-UK but now he drags things on by spouting off in here. The following does not entirely reflect my own personal point of view re Timefactors actual products and should be literally taken as tongue in cheek but it is there to show to Eddie how he could equally be attacked if the likes of Christopher Ward was both stupid and ignorant enough to lower himself to Eddie's level. Thankfully he does not and that says it all for me regarding both parties.

I have endeavoured to reflect what you are about to read as to how Eddie writes his own drivel and much of it is copied and pasted from Eddie's own recent diatribe against CWL in TZ-UK with some of the words changed of course. I hope it hurts Eddie's feelings ( I doubt it though ) because it is supposed to. It shows that if someone wanted to they could rip you to bits Eddie in equal measure wether it is actually justified or not. You may not realise it but this is exactly how you sound except the shoe is now on the other foot. You have a soapbox for your thoughts called TZ-UK and you run a business called Timefactors. You should use your soapbox more wisely and then you might gain some respect you are actually sorely lacking except in your own little world.
Christopher Ward could have wrote: I generally have no beef with Timefactors until they make yet another elementary schoolboy error. I see they previously announced a model using a name associated with Omega since 1959 and then had to change the name, it may not be a lack of research as Timefactors are pretty adept at hijacking trademarks that have not been registered or have lapsed but taking on Omega re Broad Arrow certainly indicates a lack of awareness or worse still a sneaky attempt associate themselves with a name already widely known. Im surprised Timefactors have not yet registered the Monster name as a trademark seeing as Seiko dont actually own it either.

It's also the lack of attention to their own unique ideas and designs which gives rise to the criticism, which is a pity. As they never really seem to come up with their own unique concepts and in many cases their own actual designs that makes you think they don't really know what they're doing. They buy up defunct trademarks like Smiths, Sewills and Precista. If taken in the worse context you could say they are "legitimised" replicas. If only because Timefactors choose to wait until defunct companies trademarks expire then they register them at next to no cost and then reproduce old classic designs in simply the hope of cashing in on past glories.

Its such a shame that there is no longer a serious British based & privately owned player in the watch market who constantly strive to produce their own unique designs who can bring to a global market fine quality time pieces at a reasonable cost. Instead we have a mere cottage industry living on past achievments that others actually created. Maybe someday there will again be a British watchmaking company that will learn by their mistakes and in doing so will in time achieve a global reputation for both outstanding products and service. Oh wait a minute??? There is one and its not called Timefactors.

I didn't even bother reading the crap above, but surely this **** is not helping any of us?

Wouldn't it be more helpful if people who enjoy CW watches could also be involved with TZ-UK (if they so choose) and vice-versa?

Can't see how playing out this personal feud in public moves things forward at all. :?

I genuinely agree Downer. I would have no issue if visitors to TZ-UK criticised CWL. That is to be expected. Heck I do it myself sometimes as you well know. That though is our right as both customers and as watch fans. It just annoys me that Eddie is who he is and he pontificates from his altar and Christopher Ward cant defend himself. Its just not right and its not fair. If the shoe was on the other foot it would be interesting to see how Eddie would respond. I think I can guess because he is here already before I even responded in this thread. If Eddie had actually stayed out of this thread in the forum I probably wouldnt even have bothered posting. I have to say I would not have changed my opinion of him if he remained at TZ-UK with his personal criticisms of CWL but by posting in here it is just too much. No way am I going to kiss Eddie's butt. I have no reason to.

I started this thread, and you will notice I made no further comment. I was just happy others on TZ-UK liked my C8 Pilot as much as I do. I'm sorry this thread took the direction it did.

Perhaps it should end....NOW.

I entered this thread to try to defuse yet another attempt by Kinnes to create friction between two forums when he jumped in on page 3 spouting his usual mantra of hate. I didn't come over to start a fight and so for that reason GK, I'm out.

Kip or Yoda. Feel free to lock the thread now if you wish. I think the points on both sides have now been made.
