It's why I stay out of there.
Beware, this the Sterling watch nutter is around outside the fora, and really expending way too much energy about a $70 watch.

"The seller has shown no interest in making the purchase right and shoots off arogant, easily disprove replies whenever dealing with the inquiry. This is a company without class. I will make no further purchases and alert the usual watchdogs."
Well, he can at least craft a pun. Watchdogs. Get it?
/\ I ordered a bottle of Sterling Vineyards wine once and sent it back because it wasn't filled with molten silver.
Lol.

Also...classic use of mishandled legalese from the guy.
'Archie Luxury' videos on YouTube.
Australian who does expletive-laden watch reviews. Black humour?
Explore further and he also has videos on why the IT industry sucks. Then you find one where he loses his job in the IT industry. The contractor salary he was getting did not really match up to his expensive tastes in Patek Phillipe etc. Throwaway insults about Thailand also feature in other videos.
Maybe a very elaborate trolling operation as well.
Looks like a younger, Australian version of Sam Allardyce.

I'm a fan of Archie Luxury, he is bi-polar and there is a position that a lot of it is not black humour and not acting, he is as manic and in serious debt in real life due to his watch fetish. Some of the Thailand stuff, I haven't watched it all, started to go over the line too. But it is real storming the reality studio stuff and shows how empowering the internet can be to reaching out to a global audience at very little expense. Okay, in this case, the costs of serious bank breaking watches.
It's incredible how expensive watches can get. Last time I was in Target, I noticed Timex Easy Readers are going for a good $35 to $40 these days! Ridiculous.
Hep not sure if you are saying it is all for real.
I think he has set up a character that dear old Jim would be proud of. Jim and co. never went down the Internet route.
Archie also has a multiple divorce theme going on in some of his videos and Sir Les Patterson-style Thai knocking shops references.
He calls himself a method actor too. You decide.

A couple of times he has stepped out of character, but some of the commentators on his Youtube channel have stated that his problems with job, wife and massively overspending on luxury watches is for real. Is art imitating life, or life imitating art?
^ Archie is cutting his prices. $10 for just a reply - no video.
And you can advertise on his fridge too!

There should be an Archie Luxury iGent equivalent.
Might have to change the language but it could work. Jim definitely missed a trick with YouTube.

Those two aged plastic surgery enhanced agony aunts he wheeled on was a stroke of genius too:

That whole thread on AAAC is increasingly, even more so than normal, the domain of the indescribably boring or excessive compulsive disorder sufferers who spend their time trying to take the definitive photo of a specific pose with the same trinkets they had on the day before.
I would like to help them, but my profession lies in a slightly different and non medical field.
Still, on a lighter note, good to see Uppr Crust has a new husband.
