Hmm... interesting thread indeed.


Wow!!! It's Donald the Taikor from Kuching!!!

What happened to you all these months? Yes, we have not had such an interesting thread for a long long long long time. The electrifying dose of surrealism must have woken you from your hibernation.  :laugh: :laugh: But this is a truly classic thread, in the same class as Harry Potter and LOTR.... :thumbsup:

Welcome back!!!!  :Cheers:

Who? What? Where?

OK.. back to sleep....

Clash of clans - Kuching edition

Kuching have very few old families. And all are interconnected through marriage.

I'm not doing a clan war thingy, I just want to get to know him. Since he is the Kuching taikoh, he must be well connected, hence old family.

And if he is of old family, the chances of us knowing each other is very high as Kuching's polite society is a very small but well connected community.

The post is getting hilarious, haven't had so much fun reading and commenting back since a previous thread whereby the fella kept talking abt getting a rolex as a show Of wealth and finally getting the djII. That fella felt genuine with his comments and straight away admits that he is on an ego Trip. I kinda liked him.

Hi Enkidu. If you must troll, please try harder. That was a pathetic attempt at trolling. -1/10

Quite hard to keep it up as full disclosure has yet to come.
I am still left to wonder what is being said.
And right now, my guess is mr.friedrice jumped into conclusions about the SA "suspecting" his watch is a fake.
And with the current direction of the thread, we might never now.
But seems to me like the guilty one in "sizing up" and "judging a book by it's cover" is the TS himself.

The JLC story is understandable.
Guy walks in, shows his superior language skills in pronunciation, SA looks blur, and when he finally understood what mr.friedrice wants, the feeling is that the guy is just on an ego trip. Honestly though... I don't blame him.
If he would just say "Jay El See Grande Taille", problem solved.
But I guess it's not good enough. So, what is the purpose? Beats me...

So, readers and followers of this thread. What do you guys think?

wast thinking to say no point to talk further since we all can never know what really happen, but since the topic is hot, even Kuching Taiko is back, so why not put more fuel into the discussion ! :Laughing_on_floor:

chinese said 1 type of rice raise 100 type of human,

when come to watch shopping
got good SA and bad SA
so as
good customer and bad customer

Maybe SA in MWF can hide their real name and share more with us on bad customer

Well, I'll give the T.S my benefit of  doubt regarding the wine thingy. Cause I had been offered crazier things like free trips and some pretty indecent proposals. ;D

But never took any of those freebies, more interested in the watch itself and the available discount. Well even my wifey thinks I'm  nutty vesting so much on watches but not on other stuff to upgrade status, aka ego.

I guess I'm just a freaking weirdo that loves watches more then other manly pursuit like cars or super bikes.

Somehow I believe you simply because I have met you in person and I know what kind of dough you drop on watches.
Enkidu and dpkong too, he drop serious moolah on watches too.
And dpkong, yes... the Kuching Taikoh... his usual AD can allow him to take the watch 1st and pay later... damn I did not take up on that offer... still kicking my nuts.
And it would be a crime if your usual AD does not bend over for you guys.
Now look at the list... if you know what I mean...  ::)

buy from mwf members, merchants or shop no need to pening plus you gain new yum cha kaki.

i think the SA just trying to break the ice and make small talk. easier to sell.

for me, i would love it when people think i am wearing a fake watch and carrying an empty wallet.

I think that sums it up pretty nicely.

Maybe the title should change to "Snobbish watch salesperson AND (potential) customers"

As entertaining as it is, thread will be locked soon if heading nowhere...
TS doesn't seem keen to clarify and MWF members will just be left guessing.
