We all know it isn't going to be a Rolex at these prices but everyone has to start somewhere and in my opinion at the budget side of the market is probably best.Rolex?...perhaps Invicta!
I have no real dealing with PayPal but after reading the problems many have had regarding Olivier I feel Credit Card is a better option.
I give up,apparently you know this chap and have witnessed 1st hand his passion for watches.
Don't know him only PMed him a few times but I do like to give someone the benefit of the doubt rather than being a sceptic from the off.
Lumtec, Halios, Crepas to name but a few all have been running a pre-sales system for long enough and I'm sure at the beginning many thought twice about handing over their hard earned cash but now no one would give it a second thought. It's a means to an end, you can gauge the interest prior to production and adjust accordingly if required, those willing to pay a deposit and wait get rewarded with discount, those unwilling to pay upfront don't.
It seems that the difference between these guys and the one in question is that the folks here knew and trusted the people starting those watch brands before the pre-sale. There also seems to be a great deal of doubt that he can build a bronze watch for the asking price. My attitude remains the same; see what he comes up with first, then decide.
