To all of the member s here at 3T I would like to apologize as to the turn of events in regards to the Orsa/3T LE! I feel that we did find out in the knick of time what Orsa Watch is all about and the bottom line was not in our favor.I became worried with the quality of the Watches after finding out that some of the dials were badly blemished includinig mine due to mistakes at the logo stampers who made many mistakes due to mis communication between them and James!.I was offered another but only after refusing to have mine repaired...I want no one to hold Kent responsible as he was not the stamper and went above and beyond to try and complete what seemed impossible under the pressure of James from Orsa his work on the Watch was truly Amazing!! I found out that there were several of these reworked dials and had asked none be used for any of our members and received no guarantees from James! I had agreed to two invoices one for down payment and another for final payment which is customary but was only aware once invoices went out that two paypal addys were being used...one being James in which I advised that this would raise suspicion and my request was ignored.I do not believe that Martin knew what James was doing as most of my e-mails were being ignored by Martin and only James was in contact with me which I became very uncomfortable with as James only did what James wanted to do ....even after many repeated requests to not do so! It became apparent after the threat of the project being cancelled by us that James had only one intention and that was to make some quick cash! It is and my firm belief that James has No Watch experience and stumbled through this project refusing any rational advise from me.I lso believe he rushed the project in fear of losing it at the end and had not one care as to the members of this forum including myself! Orders were to be done through me and by # at which once again a nervous little fellow(James) decided to jump the gun as he could not wait for the list from me and contacted daanbc in which James took his money in full and later told me daanbc couldn't wait so he went ahead as to make him happy...another lie as daanbc provided me with the e-mails from James asking for the payment in full since his was going to have a sig.I can say I was very unhappy with James and said we would no longer deal with him at all and e-mailed Martin with my concerns...I heard nothing all day from him and finally said the only way this project would go forward was with a 10% discount if not better...especially seeing that Silver Anglers reappeared because of canceled orders due to slow shipping and lack of straps and poor CS/QC and the Lume Dial being lowered to $435 due to No Sales! I believe Orsa Watch is in dire straits for cash we were that cash cow! I alpogize to my friends here at 3T and hope we can move past this less than happy experience as I have learned much about the amount of Trust I put in people! Again My Deepest Apologies to my 3T Friends!
