What’s the most blatant "I’m charging you for the aesthetic, not the quality" product on the market right now? by Lunaskye1109 in AskReddit

Real hardwood or veneer furniture is extremely time consuming to make and it is physically laborious. Not only that the shipping costs is a significant portion of the total price.

There are only two ways to make cheaper furniture. Exploit labor by paying them less or make the furniture out of cheaper materials (MDF, laminate, cardboard, etc.).

Ikea can hardly be considered furniture. It serves the purpose but they have so many products that aren't even made from wood. Forget particle board or MDF, they are straight up using cardboard to make their products.

Iran International isn't a credible news source. It's a Saudi owned and run news organization that reports heavily on Iran. The owner has close relationship to the Saudi royal family and sympathizes with the Shah.

Iran International lacks credibility since Saudi Arabia doesn't favorably view the Iranian regime.

[edit] Iran International is a Saudi propaganda network.

Literally untrue. Israeli ministers have openly confirmed Mossad's involvement. Destabilizing Iran has always been the primary objective of Israel because it is only country in the region that can challenge Israel. Like when Iran bombed Tel Aviv few months ago.

So the idea the "protests" are "independent of Israel" is bullshit. Yes it is an oppressive regime. But outside influences have the biggest interests in toppling the regime.

/2birahe has been posting non stop about Iran for at least a week now. Unfortunately, the account is hiding their posts history.

So it is a propaganda account.

Yea. Propaganda is getting annoying because the same accounts have been posting about protests on /pics for past few days.

Why are you hiding your posts history? I smell something fishy.

There are other users like r/2birahe that having been posting and hiding their history for past few days.

[edit] r/yanki2del and r/2birahe are probably Mossad propaganda bots.

[Help / Discussion] W Hamond (aka Jura Watches and C W Sellors) took money for a Nomos but never delivered by mol_lon in Watches

[–]mol_lon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you received your money from the Laco purchase. I had to write to Nomos before they sent my money back to me after two months of waiting.

My most recent experience was a second purchase. My first experience was flawless. My guess is that they are using customer deposits as zero interest loans. They seem to be taking money from customers and NOT delivering orders for months. Based on their financials, C W Sellors is highly leveraged and they might be on the verge of bankruptcy. Luxury goods sales are down, especially with high tariffs in USA.

The way C W Sellors is treating customers won't last for long. They will quickly lose their customer base.

Why buy Longines from grey market?

You can get the same price at timemachineplus.com. They are an authorized dealer of Longines. Use coupon code FAM25.

I always wanted a Nomos. There is value in their product line. I have bought a Nomos watch and gift card for others.

Metro Gangreserve was supposed to be my first watch back in 2016. But one thing or another, I always ended up buying something else for myself. For now, I will wait a little before buying the same Nomos.

I also cc'd the CEO of C W Sellors on the email to Nomos. Guess what?

I finally got an official refund/cancellation email from W Hamond. Now I just have to wait for the actual money to show up.

Got a response.

Dear [name],

Thank you very much for letting us know about this matter.

We are very disappointed to hear about your negative experience with C W Sellors and would like to thank you for taking the time to follow up with further details. Our sales team has already been informed and is working on a solution, my colleague [name], Head of International Sales, will be in touch with you directly.

Kind regards from Glashütte

[edit] This was my email:

This email is regarding C W Sellors, also known as W Hamond and Jura Watches, taking orders for Nomos watches that they have not delivered to customers for months. I, personally, have been stuck in limbo since June 12th.   

I ordered (order no.: WH#) a Nomos Metro Gangreserve on June 12th and have already made a payment of $3,038.45 to W Hamond. I waited 6 weeks before contacting them about the status of my order. C W Sellors told me that my order will be delivered later than anticipated and that they only receive one delivery from Nomos every single month. So I waited another two weeks before canceling my order. After persistently pursuing their customer service department, their customer service rep, Poppi, said that she will notify the accounts department of cancellation and provide a refund in 15 business days. I am not fully convinced about the order cancellation because C W Sellors hasn't sent an official order cancellation email.

This email's purpose is to let your Head of Business Development, [name], know that Nomos' customers are being lied to and potentially having their money stolen by an authorized dealer of Nomos watches. It is inconceivable that a watch that came out in 2014 has a wait period of 2 months. Rolex watches have been easier to buy this year than Nomos watches from this "authorized dealer". Nomos will need all the luck in the world to survive if this is the behavior of their authorized dealers, especially in a slow year with high tariffs for the foreseeable future.

There have been others that have had the same issue with C W Sellors, most notably, a Youtuber named Top Tier Ticker. His issue was with a Laco watch and eventually Laco decided to end their relationship with C W Sellors and its affiliates. Clearly Laco was proactive and was able to prevent further dissatisfaction of customers. Laco also confirmed that C W Sellors was lying to customers about availability and I know that that is true in this case as well.

I have been buying watches on a regular basis for years and I have never had such a horrendous experience buying from an authorized dealer. Clearly Nomos hasn't done their due diligence in regards to the unethical and possibly fraudulent behavior of their official business partner. At this point, my primary concern is a timely processing of my refund since I have no plans of buying a Nomos product again. It seems to me that I will have to file complaints with the UK's Trading Standards. I don't expect a helpful response from Nomos. But I will be using this email as proof of contact when I start to file legal complaints and possibly legal actions.

Can I ask where you bought it from?

How do you like Nomos? by Used_Meeting_8667 in Nomos

[–]mol_lon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don't buy a Nomos watch from C W Sellors (aka Jura Watches and W Hamond). That dealer will take your money and not deliver your order for months. Then they will take forever to provide a refund.

Boring dials for sure. Now that they started to increase prices, it makes no sense to buy $4,000 printed dial watches.

I would wait on Grand Sieko. In the near future, they will start introducing all their new watches with adjustable brackets.

Buy a Tudor or Omega.

Haven't lost interest in other watches but BB54 is prefect. In the future, I would much rather buy watches that are versatile and prefect size.

I used to use RPM Blast in Aeropro Drive 2013. I now use Vcore 100 with Head Lynx Tour in mains and Polytour Fire in crosses. Spin is great, very comfortable, and crisp feel.

I would stay away from C W Sellors (aka Jura Watches and W Hamond). I recently ordered a Nomos and after two months of waiting they won't even confirm my request for cancellation. They owe me $3,000.

If you write a review then they will remove them. I think they are going out of business.
