calm down!
your from Barnsley so should be thick skinned
now back to your original question about swiss-luxury.... as said they are a scam website, so thats a few £k you have saved already

you are nearly my neighbour being in Barnsley
i know a decent AD that depending on what you want may be able to look after you
there are pitfalls buying from the US as well regarding the tax and import duty etc to consider as well

anyway if you decide to stay this IS the BEST Rolex forum in the WORLD

...I'm still very new here and I'd like to know the reason that some of you thought that the OP was a scam artist.

Where were the red flags?

Here's the usual scam, spam or con - Someone shows up here and makes their first post trying to draw attention to a legitimate or fraudulent website. Another common ploy is to put up pics of a counterfeit watch to have it authenticated or "play around" with the members here to learn what is fake about the watch.

Whether this guy is a legitimate poster, or poser, and based on his last post, is totally up to one's discretion.

The forum will continue without him.

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that he may own or be employed by the website in question and is trying to draw traffic in the hopes of increasing sales?

This is interesting to me because I think of myself as a pretty savvy consumer and I thought, I could spot a scam a mile away.

Sorry, double post.

You can also put him in a barrel and throw it in the river, if it sinks and he drowns he wasn't scammer ... in case he does survive, then obviously he was one and then he must be burned on a stake

Just weigh him. If he weighs the same as a duck, then he's a witch, and we burn him. Simple.

I got flamed here my first post also. "Troll" was the common refrain.

This section of the forum is predisposed to tak an INSTANT dislike to certain questions from a select group of haters.

If you're legit, hang in there it will pass.

Judging by his last post (#9), I think he gave up...

you have to realise that this part of the forum is where the scamers & trolls come and try it on!
members get fed up of it!

Sorry, but I'm still trying to understand this. If I decided to buy my first Rolex and went online to do research, I might find an online seller that interested me. In doing further research, I would probably have come across TRF. The WatchOut section of this forum would probably be the first place I'd want to post in the hopes of finding out more about the seller I'd to know more about.

Like I said in an earlier post on this thread; I'm still pretty new here, but why not give the OPer the benefit of the doubt and believe he's asking his question legitimately?
