We’ve long heard rumblings from independent watchmakers that it is next to impossible to receive parts for repair work on pieces from the larger groups (Swatch, LVMH, Richemont).  Three years ago, the European Confederation of Watch & Clock Repairers’ Association filed a claim with the European Commission that the groups (Swatch admits it is a target, LVMH and Richemont gave no comment) were purposefully withholding parts required for repair so that customers will be required to send their watches directly to the manufacture, a costly process for the customer and a known profit center for watch companies.  But, when the CEAHR filed the complaint, it was quickly disregarded by the EC, utnil December of 2010 when that decision was annulled. 

Now, the EC will dig further into these claims and see if, as one interviewee claims “free competition no longer exists and the brands have no respect for the confidence you have in your usual qualified watchmaker.”  An unnamed repairman at an unnamed watch repair store in Paris (now that’s good reporting, Reuters!) said that “Basically, unless you have a personal relationship with a brand, you cannot get any parts.”

So, we shall just have to wait and see how this plays out.

used rolex Question&Answer:

Question by FL

I continuously receive obvious spam emails that are sent under the auspice of other Yahoo.com users. For example, I will receive an email from Joe.Smoe@yahoo.com but the email is obviously not from Joe Smoe as it advertises Rolex watches, Viagra, Medicare, or other spam trash offers. I even receive emails TO me that are FROM MY OWN yahoo email address! Some company / companies appear(s) to be pirating mine and other people’s Yahoo.com email addresses to broadcast spam commercial emails. I thought maybe my password had been compromised, so I changed it to another statistically very secure password, but that had no effect. How do I stop these buggers from exploiting my address?!?!

Question by kingsebay2000: Why Tiffany/Gucci/LV/Rolex companies don’t sue the online fake counterfeit item sellers?
Let’s say if Tiffany takes action to sue a few sellers on ebay who are selling fake tiffany products. The chance of having these sellers convicted is pretty high since Tiffany would hire good lawyers.

By doing so they can ‘kill a monkey and scare the chicken’, after these sellers are convicted media will spread the news quick, that will let other sellers know that by selling fake stuff on ebay they can go to prison.

Would that work?

If it will, why these brands don’t do it?

Best answer:

Answer by Barry C
oh but they do spend fortunes tracking down counterfeiters. more is spent looking for the source then the retailers though.

i met someone that worked in corp security for Cisco once – she told me they infiltrate chinese companies or buy their products and scan the chips under electron microscopes to build the case.

Wrist Watch Companies?

Question by ski4life: Wrist Watch Companies?
Im buying my dad a watch for his 50th birthday and my funds only go up to $ 200. I want to buy him a nice watch. Know any companies that sell nice wrist watches in my price range. NOT ROLEX

Best answer:

Answer by Ricardo Torreador
Just because a watch is higher in price does not mean it’s of higher quality. Which tells better time..a Rolex or a Timex?

Seiko has risen in price within the last 10 years for good reason. A good Seiko is an impressive gift.

You can never go wrong with a nice looking Timex, though….”takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’…” as the commercial would say.

I would be happy if my kids gave me either one of those.

sell rolex Question&Answer:
Question by nice_gentle2000: Is it true that major name brand companies will not sell to wholesalers?
I’m talking about real items like rolex, coach, etc. Not the nock offs just the real stuff.

Best answer:

Answer by Dave M
It is true. I used to be a sales rep, and some companies’ products were “not found in stores”. But what seems to be the normal evolvolution of a product/company is that first they don’t sell to wholesalers, like Walmart, Sam’s, Costco, Target, Best Buy, Kroger, Home Depot, etc… but only to boutique stores, coffee shops, small businesses. But as the company gets better known, they usually agree to sell to larger and larger retailers so that they can get the big orders, though usually at some discount. Then eventually they sell out to anyone who will buy their product, like a crack whore would.

I worked for a coffee roaster once, and tried to persuade the owner to only sell to coffee houses and gift basket accounts. But he wanted to be all grandiose, so he agreed to BUY shelf space in a low end grocery store called Bi Lo. I was shocked and knew that the shoppers of that store wouldn’t be interested in paying more, just to have gourmet coffee. And it WAS very good coffee, with the best packaging I had ever seen on coffee bags.

Well, the coffee didn’t sell in Bi Lo at all. So, he wasted his money, and now he sells to coffee houses all over the northeast GA region. But one of his biggest businesses is in the gift basket business! Oh, and when I say, “he”, I mean the new owner who bought him out when he ran the business into the ground. This new business has now also gone into Publix, which is a more upscale grocer. But I’ll bet Publix came to them, rather than them going to Publix.

I worked for another company that sold bath products. We sold to small boutiques, gift shops, salons. We didn’t try to get into Bed Bath and Beyond or any place like that. But we did lots of shows, and I once went to a hotel gift shop and showed the products to the manager, who loved it. She told her division manager about it, so they put it in their 5 stores. It did well, and so the corporate office got interested, and put it in all of their airport stores. That was the W.H.Smith airport shops. And then Paradies wanted in on the business, who is Smith’s competitor.

Then onetime, the owner was at a gift show, and a buyer came up and wanted some samples. Well, he said he would SELL her some, not give her any, since she was with Disney World. And he figured she was just using her position to get free stuff. Weeks later after he had sold her a number of samples, she called him and told him that Disney had decided to put 2 of the items in all of the gift baskets that they gave to guests in their hotels. And could we handle about a 10,000 dollar order every 6 weeks or so. He was shocked, as we were a small company. Of course he said we could though.

But we never had to sell to discount stores at all, and got into all kinds of great places, all over the country.

You need to visit the website of each of the companies individually, and look up their marketing department section. If you are hoping to get names of contacts, I’m afraid those are usually never revealed online.
