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.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yes i did eventually realise that the oil will act as a barrier, I'm sure the discussion will continue. Ive had two oleophobic coffees ( added coconut ) and in the meantime i have this just delivered to take my mind off epilame for the time being. My favourite type of dial, its a beautiful looking watch traditional English made and it runs,  the ticktock is phenomenal,  i can hear it across my living room .  You wont believe how much it was. Thats interesting about synthetic oils , i thought the same, going from a 2 year service to 5 years is a big drop in income for service folk.  I expect some did well when they embraced the use of synthetic,  probably drawing in more customers than those that didn't use the new fangled substances , i bet fairly short lived though. The more frequent service makes more sense to me, not for just the service but for the regular check up inspections that might pick up impending faults. As far as epilame goes, wouldn't it be great to be able to fumigate the complete movement in a sealed jar of heated stearic acid, 🤔 now theres a thought 😅.

      AS2031-57E solar panel - mission: impossible

      By Albyon · Posted

      Imm going to close the discussion by attaching the photo of my super-titanium after several vicissitudes finally working. Purchased as not working I replaced the battery and for a stroke of luck I found its semi-new solar panel which, having verified its operation, seems to recharge the accumulator perfectly. I had taken this watch almost by bet, with 40 euros I brought it back to life. The initial half idea was to resell it to finance another purchase, but.. it's definitely a nice item. It would need to check the impermeability but it's a pleasure to see it on the wrist 😃

      Insert the movement inside the case

      By Albyon · Posted

      In fact the secret is to go gently and find the way without forcing, and the movement enters without problems

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Sure! Some very accomplished repairers never use epilame! I have often wondered if it is worth the trouble. Not using epilame will shorten the service intervals though, but that could be better perhaps both for the owner and the repairer!? Speaking of oiling, I just read this: After WWII in the 1950s the first Synthetic Oils came on the market. Most watchmakers did not rush to use these oils since they were bad for business now that the watch serviced with Synthetic oil would not come back to him for service for another 5-7 years he would lose a lot of income. ~Ofrei.com   Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if it would be more correct to think of epilame as a binder rather than a repellant. Until convinced otherwise that's how I will think of epilame.
