A bit late to the party on this one, but its quite easy to figure it all out.

 

You can search the "who is" data base for any website & this one registers to jnash he opted out of showing his address but a google search for his name pulls up a result for his blog & if you do a whois for that address you find out where he lives, his telephone number & his email address. all in the public not so private domain.

 

you have to be sooooooooo careful jnash! lol

I'm so glad you have your "Old" details perish the thought of anyone wanting to know the new ones! you say nothing to hide, but in my view its shady and also against the UK's distance selling regulations

I for one wouldn't deal with you with your current website. you have some good gear too. not adding a contact even to a new website is never going to launch it into the horological world as a game player.

 

Just a view of course.

Fiar point, I didn't really think it was a problem as lots have sold to all around the world, lot more inventory going up as I have time, didn't realise not having a address would cause a problem as one of us reply pretty quickly. Opinion noted and hopefully get it actioned [emoji1]

If you take payments via PayPal your protected against any wrong doing, this goes for the buyer or the seller, so it makes no difference if you disclose your address or not. In this day and age it's impossible to find the address of a lot of online business's on their website unless you search whois or companies house. I don't see it as a problem and wish you luck with your business.

PS I had a read through the distance selling regulations and no where does it state you must provide an address. You have to provide business name and contact details, contact details could be phone, email, fax or the name of your carrier pigeon - not address. A lot of business's these days are run from home and you don't want your home address plastered all over the Internet.

It does not matter if it is in law or not, from a business point of view I believe it is good practice to provide potential customers with information about who they are dealing with. It gives customers confidence, plain and simple.

 

 

Jnash is trying to start a business and he seems to be dedicated to his website, I have seen progress on it and it is starting to look good. I wish him all the best and I hope it is a success for him.

I do a lot of online buying for work buying IT parts and stuff.

Personally I always look to see what address & phone number are listed in the "Contact Us" section (if there is one).

If it only lists a mobile I generally give them a wide berth unless its the only option available and then only do business if there's not a lot of money involved.

      Gilding after silver soldering

      By AlanB · Posted

      When faced with say a pocket watch bridge which is cracked, silver soldering to repair is often the only option (hopefully someone wasn't there before hand with soft solder). I can generally do this succesfully and tidily with a small torch and miniscule pieces of silver solder, but on parts which were mercury amalgam gilded the heat can have have a deleterious effect on the finish.   I keep wondering if there's a good way to refinish these - and despite having the needful items would rather avoid using the mercury process.   In the past for electronic work I've gold plated PCBs but this involved gold potassium cyanide solution, which also doesn't realy belong at home. I've read that there are now safer alternatives but couldn't find more detail (and importantly how similar are the results to amalgam gilding, since I wouldn't want to refinish the whole watch). Pointers would be very welcome (and yes, I know solutions containing gold won't be cheap!) Alan

      By JonC · Posted

      Ok so with the great answers for my previous question may I ask what these two attachments are used for. The one with the red knob is I assume used for hand setting the seconds hand? Jon

      By Zedster · Posted

      According to Cousins site I need to look at document G22 as I think I need an ATGB at 304 but I cant find this size in G22 doc. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong one😳  Unless I cant see the wood for the trees 😆 I could be looking at the wrong style, I assume its classed as Round plastic Armed  https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/wide-ring-gold-atgb

      Dial feet removal

      By JonC · Posted

      When building a new Watch I have tended to use a file to remove the remnants of dial feet that are not needed as many dials come with four feet to accomodate different movements, but this can be a bit messy so now I use this with a great deal more precision as you can use an appropriate bit for the job and keep it very localised.
