webfact Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Activist: Test Prawit’s friends to see if watches fit their wrists By The Nation Anti-graft activist Srisuwn Janya Anti-graft activist Srisuwn Janya has called on the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) to call in friends of Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan to measure their wrist sizes. Srisuwn said this would be a way to prove or disprove Prawit’s claims that the expensive watches he has been wearing belong to these friends. On Tuesday, General Prawit pledged to resign if he was found guilty, but insisted that the luxury watches he has worn on various occasions were borrowed from his friends and had already been returned to them. However, Srisuwan said all of these friends must be called on to prove Prawit’s claims. If they are the true owners, they should be able to wear the watches perfectly. Srisuwan said Prawit’s latest claim is mere nonsense. Some of the watches, he said, are limited editions, meaning they are made to order and have numbers showing who ordered them. The scandal arose after Prawit was seen wearing a very expensive Richard Mille watch during a photo session with the new Cabinet Facebook page CSI LA has reviewed media photos of Prawit and, as of Wednesday, it was estimated that he has worn 24 luxury watches. The total price, based on market value, stands at more than Bt30 million – far higher than Prawit’s estimated income during his past three years in office.

rkidlad Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Keep cranking it up. Lovin' it. Good job they still have the political ban in place. I think the protesters numbers would be sizable. I guess that's why the people in power wanna keep people silent and subservient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Better still ask to see the original receipts,and if bought overseas,receipts for taxes paid.should not take weeks to do that,right........and no,the dog ate them will not be accepted. regards Worgeordie Edited January 17, 2018 by worgeordie add on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Are we going to see Somchai pretending the watch is too small, OJ Simpson style? If it don't fit, he quits! I can't believe he's still going with the "borrowed" line, the equivalent of a child claiming the dog ate his homework. Seriously though, wouldn't it be better to see who bought those watches and when? Obviously the lenders will have receipts. I'm guessing some of these mystery watch lenders are also military guys on meager salaries, that could be interesting. Out of interest, anyone else on here have 20 or so watches borrowed from friends? Didn't think so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call Srisuwn. So sound as though watches are his, but you have to catch him. House arrest Benny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sead Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 As stated before. All of those watches are registered and have s/n. Also a book with dates of services made. Shouldnt be to hard to track down the owners and to see who wanted some special treatment haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Dude Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 No watch collectors share or lend watches of that price as they are easily scratched and liable to lose value. A giant pile of steaming freshly laid BS is what he is telling everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isaanpaul Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The best Prawit can do is to buy replica's, and show this to the NACC afcourse with a big smile. Thai people understand this to have replica's,and he can walk with the real one's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Each of these "friends" needs to provide proof of ownership, purchase and taxes paid. This needs to be verified by the seller via serial number etc. If they are Junta buddies then ensure they were declared in their asset declaration. Let's see how that goes.

Stargeezr Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Prawit saying that all the watches were borrowed is total lies, as no one in their right mind would lend such expensive watches, that are worth a lot less if scratched at all. Time for the investigaters to go ask owners of such watches and see how many would actually lend them out. Prawit has no shame, or is not very moral, too bad the good PM has such a friend.

Chongalulu Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 These old dinosaurs still fail to grasp that social media holds a spotlight up to the transparently flimsy bullsh1t stories that they used to be able to get away with for the consumption of the ill educated.

tigermoth Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Wht a load of hogwash. All watch bands, except a very few, are adjustable to the wearers wrist. It would prove absolutely zilch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
