Prawit Wongsuwan speaks to reporters Nov. 28, 2016

 

BANGKOK — The national anti-graft agency said Monday that its investigation into the undeclared assets of the junta’s second-in-command isn’t over till they say it’s over.

 

Although Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan declared the matter “already over” last week, National Anti-Corruption Commission secretary Worawit Sukboon said officials are still gathering evidence and questioning people about the case.

And they have the kind General's permission to say so.  

[Eric Loh]

Read my lips, Prawit say. It's over.

[longtom]

Yeah yeah, keep up the pretence ...

It never started. 4 months to tell us he borrowed them all from one guy who's now dead. 4 months!?!

 

Ridiculous story. 

[Sonhia]

It is pleasing to read a positive report. 

[RichardColeman]

Reporter looks like he's bored with the same old answer

[sammieuk1]

Yes they can watch him go to the USA.

[Juan B Tong]

MEMO to staff.

 

Great work researching for the names of recently deceased

rich watch collectors. Great work contacting the heirs and arranging things.

 

But I need more watch sources.

 

Now lets try to back that up with some more names of recently deceased luxury watch collectors.  Key staff to initiate contact and make preliminary arrangements.

 

It seems it's not over yet.

 

Avoid fakes!

[Anak Nakal]

Not over because Thai people remember!

[canopy]

Might it be possible to prove just one of these watches was manufactured after the lender died?

 

[nausea]

Oh, I'm sure it will go on, and on, and on, and on ... .

Not without the serial numbers of the watches that he doesn't have.

Sold maybe; just check all the receipts and warranty papers which will have the date of sell on it. Or find the dealer and check their books, i doubt they sell that many Richard Mille watches every week.

 

With some brands you can also check the serial number to derive the production date (this was true for Rolex in the past; now the numbers are more random) but remember that a watch easily lies at the dealer for months or years before being sold (except some models/brands which have a waiting list). Especially watches with gold sell slowly.

 

Why not just go to the supposed owner of the watches (his relatives) and ask for the paperwork? Every single serious watch collector in the world keeps his purchases as complete as possible (receipt, box, papers, tags) so sure the dated guarantee papers are there including receipts with credit card numbers on it.
