162. A NEW TISSOT COUTURIER FOR A NEW VENTURE...

There were many instances when friends asked for ideas on original watches to purchase as gifts. There were also instances when friends called to source for specific new original Swiss models just released on the market with intention to procure. I have no qualm about meeting such requests even at the minimal or nil margins. What is more paramount is the friendship developed. 

Friends do acknowledge that I only entertain requests for original watches, be it Swiss, Japanese, German or Italian. So, they confined themselves within that territory and never at a moment venture into the replica zone. I just despise replica and fakes especially those people who idolised replicas to the extent of using replicas to do reviews of established brands and models as if they are originals and genuine. What a shameless and despicable act!

Homage is a different matter as it carries its own brand name and not trying to disguise otherwise.

Back to the friends requests of sourcing watches for gifts. Last week I received a request from a very close friend of mine to recommend him a suitable Swiss watch for a gift to a valuable employee who is opting out for a new venture.

I scouted around for a reasonably good watch to his technical and financial specifications and managed to prise one brand new unit of Tissot Couturier from a friendly store who is an authorized Tissot dealer to the specifications script. 

Felt elated when the choice was well received. Got the watch engraved and completed the handover. 

Glad to do service to friends especially knowing that your little gestures are highly appreciated...

159. JUST LIKE TO SHARE...

Just like to share a quite interesting news I picked up from Malaysian Mirror website. (http://www.malaysianmirror.com/nationaldetail/6-national/43569-policewoman-caught-with-2000-fake-watches-)

Policewoman looking at doing time

Monday, 21 June 2010

RANTAU PANJANG – A tip-off led to the arrest of a senior policewoman who was caught with eight bags of fake watches worth over RM100,000.

A man in his 60s who was with her was also detained in the raid here yesterday.

The police officer in her 30s was picked up while parking her car in the street at 2.45 pm, said General Operations Force (GOC) 9 assistant commanding officer DSP Mohamad Latiff.

"Acting on a tip-off, we kept the car driven by the police officer under surveillance before we moved in.

Made in China

"We arrested the police officer and her male passenger in his 60s," Mohamad told reporters here yesterday.

Upon inspection, the GOC found the bags of fake watches, with each valued at between RM 15 and RM 150.

He said the watches, which were believed to be smuggled from China through Thailand, would be handed over to enforcement division of the Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Ministry.

Comment:

If this case is proven in the Malaysian court of law, it would tarnish our beloved country's image...imagine government officers smuggling imitation items.

I sincerely hope no government officers are involved in peddling imitation items online or otherwise.
