Hello Top Tier Ticker, Brian here from Panther Watch Co. I am sorry that you feel you over paid for your watch. The link you found was an old link from a few years ago. The current price for the watch is 250 GBP. It's a great price for a very solid watch with top end specs. The original run was 100 pieces. There are now only 6 pieces remaining. I thought I might move the last of them at the show to pay towards travel expenses etc. I wish you had simply come to talk with me about any concerns, I would have happily given you the difference in price on the spot. That offer still stands as I would hate to think you feel you have not had a great deal. I am a watch enthusiast myself and created the watches to scratch that itch of making my own watch. If you prefer to return the watch, I am more than happy to send you a refund. I can assure you no scam was intended and I stand by the quality of the watch you bought. I will email you via your website so you can let me know if you would like the difference or a full refund. Kind regards Brian

Hello Brian, I don't feel like I overpaid for the watch, the watch was worth £250 at the POS. It was a bit funny that the watch was on sale at an 'event special price', even though you were selling it for cheaper online. The 'scammed' feelings come through the tactics you used to sell the watch to me. You mentioned that 'Max Van Brauge' had a hand in the making of these watches, but I don't believe that to be true. I believe that these watches are a little side project by yourself, which is completely fine. And if that was told to me when buying the watch, I absolutely would've still purchased the watch and none of this would've happened. I actually would've thought that was even cooler. The watch itself is actually fairly decent, and the case is super nice. It's just a shame the way you went about selling them. As for the money, keep it for your travel expenses. The eBay listing still shows that you have 20 available for sale, even though you have bumped up the price to £250 now. So I'd advise changing your stock levels on the listing to avoid any more future disappointment. Best, Kieron Top Tier Ticker

Authorized dealers are more of a scam. A Blancpain AD wanted $9500 for Bathyscape on NATO, got the same watch on Jomashop 2 months ago for $7100. Also Got a new Omega Denim Railmaster on Joma for $2800. Both original boxes, paperwork. I don’t recommend NATO on Bathyscape as lugs don’t turn down. Also Blancpain uses pressure pins instead of regular pins, Blancpain pins require special tools to change as I broke end of one pin trying to remove and partially embedded inside watch. But quick release pins still work fine.

It's up to the buyer to do their homework before buying anything. Especially a brand of watch that you've never heard of. I'd be mad and make a video about how I screwed up also. BTW, I can sell you Big Ben if you're interested. I usually sell it for 250 pounds but for you..... 200. Deal?

I've worked county fair ground shows in a couple of states. Don't go to a show thinking the pricing overall will be cheaper than other outlets. Vendors/retailers at the show have a high overhead cost making discounts rather unlikely. Deals could be had on used and bulk purchases at times. Other times the product is unique/new, the product is sold to jobbers/salesmen initially because it's the cheapest means of distribution. Later, depending on results, the product is advertised nationally, this exposure is important to resellers and end consumers. The product has to be sold to the resellers first before the end consumer. A successful product becomes widely available and eventually sales at many retailers at a substantially lower price than the show because like many a product, volume has everything to do with unit pricing. I would imagine most products fail. Such a product will likely be dumped onto the market by a limited number of resellers, depending on volume available. Possibly, the watch purchased falls within the realm somewhere as described.

It's a Chinese made Miyota/Citizen movement watch costing about 100 ish on Ali. Which is probably what he paid for it. He's a retailer so he doubled the price to cover his overheads just like any high street jeweller does. You were a mug for falling for the sales BS but you weren't scammed.

I'm sorry but this was in no way a scam. You just fell for the age-old sales technique that EVERY company has used at one time or another. Make something seem more attractive by saying it's limited and time is of the essence. Everyone from Tesco to Tudor does it. It might be misleading but it's not illegal. He didn't give you an empty box on a bag - you got the watch you saw. You didn't buy it because it was limited, you bought it because you liked the look of it. Scammers are people who phone up old people and get them to transfer their pensions to a 'more lucrative' scheme and then run off with the money. Sounds to me like you are trying to cover up your naivety by pouring scorn on a salesman. Call yourself a watch dealer? I think you need to learn a few lessons about business, marketing, sales and getting a proper VAT receipt because that scribbled not will never be accepted by HMRC!

And just to add more to this, on your website you advertise a Fortis watch from the 80s that you market as something for the collector that is "completely unique that NO ONE else will have.". How do you know this for sure? How rare is this, can you say there are only 5, 50, 500 or 5000 of these left? I don't think you can, so aren't you equally at fault of 'creative marketing' in the same way the seller at the show was?

Mate sounds like a good convention shame I wasn’t there this year. Wow that’s a bit of a shitter about the watch, it shows that as enthusiasts we have to always be on guard which isn’t fun at 😞.

Shady looking character in a trench coat whispers "Hey buddy, ya wanna buy an 8?" Hold open trench coat , revealing a large number 8. Fella hands over his money then worries that he might've been scammed. The things you learn from Sesame Street :)

Well, £250 for a watch like that is hardly a disaster and in my opinion a cheap lesson to teach you that don’t believe everything a “clever” sales person says… I think most of us has done mistakes like this.

Unfortunate that it was a scam because it’s really not a bad looking watch. I don’t love the lume numbers but could look past it.

Exactly, I bought it as a keeper, just to hold on to for the future... But then when I started looking into it a little, and unravelled all of this shady business, it's ruined it for me. I think I'll be giving it to my father anyway, and he'll appreciate it for what it is :)

If I do decide to sell it, it'll be for about $100, which is what I believe the true value is.

You paid 250quid for a nice looking watch and a private lesson you'll never forget. It won't be your last time you'll get ripped off but seriously what do you expect when most watches at the show are 10x that plus.

I dont think its a scam! I think we should all be using cash more. Its your ultimate responsibility and I think its a nice watch. Dont buy anything on a whim, do your due diligence before ,not after.
