I thought Massdrop was all about deep discounts. There's nothing deep about this discount. I'd also think twice about purchasing from an unknown brand.
sechtawNo this is not a deep discount. But it is a discount nonetheless. I also know a bit about them. I found the brand through kickstarter a few years back and have continued to support the "micro-brand" today which is pretty well known in the "affordables" communities in the watch forums. I personally have the Lew and Huey Acionna, Cerberus and Phantom Dial B, and the NTH Vintage Blue Nacken and each has a design that I personally love to bits. Is it an unknown brand? Kind of. Janis Trading doesn't have the marketing budget of a Citizen, or Bulova. They are a small brand that makes quality watches. Every watch I own from them are daily wears. Will I buy more form them? Heck yes. I just wish more people can appreciate the quality and care of what Janis brings to the watch world. But if this means I get to show off my watches because I am one of the few that have these watches, I guess I'll get to feel "more special" lol.
kpjimmyHow much were you paid to comment? I'd still rather put my money into a known and trusted brand, rather than someone who operates a business from their house.
sechtawLol I was not paid at all. Believe it or not people buy micro brands too just like people who buy micro beers. But each his/ her/it's own. Means more for me lol
sechtawOK you aren't buying it, can you move aside and let others make a decision to purchase?
Not entirely sure why you keep harping the unknown factor. It's unknown to you. Period. Go and peruse the other drops that you do want to participate in that are not unknown to you.
sechtawYes, but what is the purpose of the rambling? Ok unknown to you. You say it's an opinion. Ok you gave it. Wait, now you say I have an opinion? "how much were you paid to comment?" was a statement that really had no purpose other than berate me. Move on....
Get off your cross, use the wood and build a bridge to get over it.
kpjimmyI will ONLY but micros from now on. You're often getting a much nicer watch for a fraction of the price. I'll put my zelos up against any Tudor, Oris etc. And those are two of My favorite companies. I would much rather give my money to the guy running the business from his basement than the capatlist devil corporation.
