LOL thank Amanda. BTW, i made a similar post on paneristi and marked it OT and wasn't shilling, yet it got deleted for some reason. And a few posters had asked for Al's contact info. So I posted up asking why they deleted it. SHould be interesting to hear their reasons. I've posted up both my other Archer purchases with no issue, so unless someone hijacked it overnight, I have no clue as to why it was pulled.

Wow... got my response. I've pasted below verbatim. Needless to say, I'm stunned: Hi John,
Your post was deleted because we received complaints that you are involved with the company that produces this watch. If the owner is a friend of yours then it's a bit more than an OT post.
Thanks for your understanding, Gary

"Not only am I the VP of Marketing and Communications for the Archer Watch Co.... I'm also their best customer. " ROTFLMAO!! You are certainly the lowest paid VP I've ever heard of.

You are certainly the lowest paid VP I've ever heard of. Hmmm... good point. Obviously someone sent him the link who lurks or posts here. Proof positive that when something is taken out of context, it can mean anything. Bollocks! I need a raise!

You know to some extent doesnt nearly everyone 'shill' on paneristi... aren't most of those strap makers great buddies with lots of different guys on the forum? so everytime they buy their mates straps and post the 'hey everyone look at my awesome new strap by thestrapmaker' isn't that a shill too going by Gary's email??? I'm not being a smartass if you are reading this Gary, I spose it's a massive can of worms I'm opening and it also takes the fun outta straps and the paneristi mentality.
