I thought Volker Vyskocil didnt make it to his first watch and he became a hype legend..
How come i read that others ordered his watch and paid their deposit but till now didnt received it?! He was my era and its been like more than 10 years..

It was in 1978!
forty-one years have passed: As the Good Book says “At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. This is the manner of remission: Every creditor shall cancel what he has given to his neighbor. He is not to collect anything from his neighbor or b...
Agree...
The lack of courtesy in failing to convey any explanation for failure to deliver as well as an apology is perplexing.
