CWC members are consistent
Canadian Watch Collector member buyers who have approached me are consistent. The half dozen or so CWC members I have dealt with are overly critical, overly suspicious, and seem overly obsessed with polishing. If you polish they complain, if you don't polish they get suspious. Deal with CWC members with caution.

Curious
Do you think this platform is any different?

Generally yes it is much better with TRF members, with the exception of the CWC members who post here incessantly about polishing among other things. I am Canadian and I have done lots of watch transactions on both sides of the trade here and elsewhere, and the only problems I ever have encountered is with CWC members. As I said they are consistent.

In the risk of being named a co-conspirator, are you flaming mad?
Speaking bad of the entire CWC community? I normally don't partake in these charades, but this one feels a bit personal. |

I've seen people nit pick every single detail of a watch on CWC, on TRF, and in any other forum. There are going to be particular people anywhere you go. I personally think that CWC is a great community of watch enthusiasts. I know a lot of great folks on there.

Completely agree, show me a perfect forum where the birds and chirping and there is harmony through out the kingdom. Pick your forum from flashlights to watches and people are people. Personally all of my dealings with the members on CWC have been great and I have met some fantastic people. Sure not every deal is as smooth as silk but when does that ever happen?

Sorry about your experiences Patrick.
I just want to chime in and say I've done close to a dozen deals on CWC and have only positive experiences. I have also met lots of members from CWC at Toronto meet ups that I haven't dealt with but wouldn't hesitate to do a transaction with. Sure I've ignored a few ludicrous lowball offers, but the people I've dealt with have been top notch and I'm glad to say many of them are now friends. CWC is small and I'd hate if his thread throws everyone off. I also go by KevinP. on CWC and anyone here who would like a reference check about CWC members can message me directly. If I haven't dealt with them directly I can help connect you with someone who has. Kevin |

(facepalm)
I see a lot of people on TRF who are exactly as you describe. I hope you realize a lot of people are members on both boards, do they have different personalities when they deal on different forums? |

Read what I stated and don't attempt to distort my words. I qualified my warning to the ones that have approached me. Every time and I mean every time I deal with A CWC member here it is always the same fixations, and when you try to reason with them the ones I encounter resort to personal attacks. Personal attacks much like your first sentence. I did not speak bad of the whole CWC community as you have suggested only the ones I have been unfortunate to deal with here.

I would also add that posting a thread about an entire watch community in the watchout section is a little overboard. If someone has had bad dealings with particular individuals then this is the place for the bad press but to call out an entire watch community based on some frustrations with a handful of its members isn't cool in my opinion. To say "deal with CWC members with caution" is a generalizing and unfair comment.

I'm confused. Every time you deal with a CWC member on TRF you are disappointed with the interaction and somehow that translates in a CWC member issue. Isn't it really a TRF issue because that's where you are dealing with them, and the lens that you are seeing them through? The fact that they also happen to be a CWC member is somewhat irrelevant. Lastly why would you come on TRF to complain about CWC members, wouldn't that be better served on CWC? |

Good question I'm not a member there. Do they obsess about polishing over there on CWC like a few CWC members do here? Do they resort to insults and threats like I have encountered here from CWC members? If not then the question is why do some behave like that here? |

Hmm, could it really be the entire forum or said "handful of members" that have approached you, or maybe, just maybe, I know it's inconceivable, that you're the problem?

Go back to the "corner of your store" Patrick!
I wish all my dealings were as smooth as with members of the CWC community. |
