torryowl Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 it's like any product if people want one and happy to pay then worth every penny .......myself I think it's a scandalous price but then I would as I wouldn't want one if they where 50 quid .

chazzyowl Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) Sometimes a lack of quality can have a positive effect on value when time's involved (no pun intended). Imagine in 20 years when most of them have conked out just how sort after a working one would be! Just kidding, I'm sure they'll be pretty decent. I hope so seeing as I've order one!

Personally think they look OK, Not sure when he will wear it as his other watch was £400 but he wanted one. Well appears young un hasn't got one now!!! I can have an alternative but it's not 150years limited edition anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indoor Owl Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 If anyone has buyer's remorse or isn't happy with it when they're in, I'd be willing to purchase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axolotl Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Looks like I got lucky. Ordered one for my Dad and haven't (yet) received the email from SWFC. It's a shame what has happened. Poor form on the commercial side of things. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) You can have the non unique watch at the same price though if you wish. I've been a supporter of the commercial side while changes have been going on. But not anymore nothing improving and actually getting worse aswell as not learning from the mistakes so now it's become a joke, to blame the ecommerce site for it is laughable even of true. There always seems to be someone to blame, kit producer, ecomms site, sondico etc etc.... I would sack the lot, not so much the staff in the store as it's not their fault but everyone above them. Quite obviously these people are not upto it now. Edited October 6, 2017 by tuttuttut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumboldowl Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Just received my cancellation as well. Ordered on the first day. Begs the question how many were ordered, and why it's taken them a week to discover the error. Another blinding example of the sheer amateurism on the commercial side. I don't think the alternative offer will be over subscribed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
