MAJIC Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Me personally, Ive had a fake Omega watch now for over 6.5 years and it looses perhaps 45minutes a year. Pretty good considering the Thai price tag. Looks wise, pretty good also, Im regularly asked about my watch, if only they knew it wasnt the real deal. Therefore, Id take Thai price over British quality anyday.How bout you? Omega is NOT British, it is SWISS!!!! but I agree that British has not mich of a quality, thus i would also choose Thai price Sent from my HTC One XL using Thaivisa Connect App I do hope you think differently,when you are being flown,by British, Rolls Royce Jet Engines,have a good flight! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJIC Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 In general, i rather pay extra for quality. There might be exceptions but not often. Problem is however finding good quality as price does not always mean better quality. So you start off with British quality, but end with Thai price tag. So thats another for Thai prices yeah? I bought a Thai copy watch once,it was great for about a week,then unfortunately the Cockroach died RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJIC Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thai price vs. British quality? Hmmm...you mean like Thai engineering vs. British engineering? I heard that the Thai automotive industry is winning the war with the English automotive industry. I wish someone would start a thread about that. Well of course the Thai Automotive industry is winning the war with British Autos,Thai Autos are all Japanese Engineering, assembled in Thailand,don't they teach you nothing in school!

MAJIC Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 OK I'll bite. Why would ANYONE want to walk around with a fake Rolex? And if it looks so good, make sure you don't dangle your arm out of a vehicle window if you visit Manila.......you might lose both! Ummm ..Could it be a fake person?

MAJIC Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thai price is fine for anything where safety and security isn't a concern. Start on tools, electrical appliances safety devices and give me western (not just UK) Quality everytime. Classic example I use an adaptor to plug my UK plug into my Thai socket, these adaptors last 2-3 weeks before they melt because a cheap inferior metal is used on the contacts that heats up and causes the shell to melt. Similar item bought in UK is now 2 years old. Ok tthen, Im a tradesman, we use Makita grinding disks here in Aus which are made in Thailand. So that kind of throws the safety security thing out the window. Now the adapter you mention I also have a Thai 1 and its been fine for ages now and the UK adapter you have, was it made in UK? Kris, do makita grinding disks cost a lot less as other disks ore not ? f not then its not Thai price, as far as i know about Makita is that is a great brand that is certainly not cheap. I don't care where something is made i care about the quality of it. If its Thai and quality im happy to buy it. No they arent cheaper at all, but then it shows Thai quality. Makita is up there with the best. Sorry to disappoint you,most of Makita is made in China,under license from Makita! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJIC Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 How do you define "British Quality" ? I know the term German quality, but never heard of British quality. Maybe that is because there is no such thing Considering the British, Americans, French,and Germans, Invented most major things,it goes without saying the rest of the world,has a lot of catching up! With apologies to Countries left out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJIC Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 The Brits were just lucky with their language, if it was not English it would have been an other language. Wow big accomplishment. The Brits were just lucky with their language Huh? Are you for real? if it was not English it would have been an other language No!! Really? The British didn't force the World to use the English language, it evolved as the most useful language,and fairly easy to learn. During the sixties the powers that be decided on a new European Language (combining several European countries language)called: Esperento,unfortunately after years of pushing to adopt the new language,with no real enthusiasm to learn to speak it,the idea was permanently shelved.
