Something for Newbies

[Oceanklassik]

These exchanges made me recall one incident which I came across many years ago at a Cold Storage supermarket here. I wonder if it has to do with the law? I saw a Caucasian lady actually demanding to refund (from the cashier) what she had just bought minutes ago. The said item is totally normal and there was no defect whatsoever. The main reason for the refund was that the same item was a few dollars cheaper just two to three shops down the alley ! And what happened was the lady got the item at the cheaper price

You may comment on the above scenario.

ha ha ha... seiko.citizen, I think these people are not silly but normal men... ha ha...with gals selling rolex, very hard to resist....

very true....... our weakpoint.... watch and ladies, dont exactly mix well with the brain

Looks like newbies like us not so welcome here.........

If my comments werent what you wanted, I sincerely apologise to you. I was not making fun, rather we are eager to know who else has been done by them, afterall, its interesting from a commercial point of view on how others can still survive charging so high prices, etc.

Bro, how true. You remember my alfa? Also bought from the zilch brigade. As is the case with my other 2 cars. One of them after purchase, brand new price plunged 20k in 3 months. LL man.

Must write in to you officially, maybe you can do something for us victims.

my parents one worse, they signed contract, then honda started to ship out new Legend with a massive price cut

common in western world to get a refund for any reason. I have seen it many times in Oz. Therefore when angmohs go to asia and expect to be able to refund they are shocked.

Well I think in my scenario, the caucasian lady knew it was 'COLD Storage' she was demanding such stuff from, and not 'NTUC'

what ever it is, i find the angmohs who come to s'pore quite arrogant. they want to do everything THEIR way.

Perhaps driven by our passion in watches, we sometimes unwittingly become accomplices to the bull-run of prices.

You mean to say you also like SANDOZ? Yeah I wanna buy some. Value for money leh...and I thought they are pretty well-built. I used to have a few, but got sold over the years. read somewhere that some new colours have come out, but haven't had the time to hunt for them.

Haha i bought them years ago...2004...was corrupted by the poor man's watch corner! Waayyyy before i got the gumption to get into rollies...

There're Sandoz Sg, Hk and pseudo-swiss types....they're responsible for the most reliable rolex homages eh? 99 % of the uncles and aunties sporting roly lookalikes with jubilee bracelets are prob sandoz?

I went and got the Sandoz blue sub and yachtmaster...250 a pc
