If you email: info@miltonsjewellers.com one of his team will pass it on to him.
There'll be an enquiry form on the watch's page and a link to contact details at the bottom... unless it isn't a watch from him, in which case stand by for short shrift.
I think Haywood should start offering some kind of virtual confessional service :untroubled:
Haywood Milton, agony uncle! [emoji106]
thanks guys, also for PMs, will get in touch
It is my understanding that Haywood keeps his PM box full intentionally, so as not to get bombarded with continuous requests for this, that and the other. I would take the hint seriously and try not to intrude his personal space and time.

He's not being obtuse, he's talking about the ambiguity of the wording of the first post and advising the OP accordingly.Quote:

I have used HM’s shops quite a few time in both Liverpool and Chester.
Just ring whichever shop your intended purchase is at.
I have had nothing but great service every time.
He wasn't disagreeing with you, just adding to your post.Quote:

Look, we could go round in circles all day like this - I could reply 'and it seems you wish to engage further..', but it's becoming a little embarrassing, no?
I was responding to the sarcasm in your reply, but you're right - obtuse was strong. What I meant was more deliberately obtuse - as in missing the point on purpose. You chose to add in 'free time', 'personal email' and 'Whatsapp' - none of which I even mentioned. I'm sure you're not actually obtuse.
The question, rephrased, was this: Would HM take it as an intrusion if someone were to email him about a purchase of one of his shop's watches. I guess there's only one person who can answer that question and it's not me or you! For the record, I have HM's personal email but would never share it on the forum out of basic respect, hence pointing the OP to the office address in post no.2, so perhaps we're not in disagreement as much as you think.
Genuinely, have a nice weekend.
My original post to this thread was just to generally clarify that HM does not seem to want to be contacted on TZ in his business matters and I surmise the whatsapp the OP was asking would fall into the same category. Some TZ members that are truly obtuse have seen fit to contact HM at work to demand all kinds of watch related favours. That’s why I, like you, would never share his personal contact info. Not that I have it, mind.Quote:

I was talking about personal email, whatsapp and all those things you didn’t mention, because that was what the OP seemed to be looking for and that was what my first post was about. I wasn’t replying to you, I was replying loosely to the contents of the OP. When you seemed to disagree I clarified what I was originally talking about. That is where the messages got mixed, I believe.
Indeed it would seem we actually don’t disagree too much. As you said, only Haywood himself can tell how or if he would like to be contacted. I believe business email would most likely be fine, the general email you provided in post number two would certainly be fine. I wouldn’t think about whatsapp or any other means that might be intrusive and that was my point from the get-go.
I will most definitely enjoy a peaceful weekend at the cabin, the first weekend of my four week vacation. I hope you have a good one as well.
Well………. That was fun to watch.
Not exactly sure why so many jumped to some sort of defence of HM - I’m sure he has a tongue in his head.
And I am pretty sure he would not be arsed in a month of Sundays.Quote:

It demonstrated perfectly why he keeps his in box full.
Reading through the thread I can’t even see what the disagreement is about.

We are all quite protective of HM because he's only one chancer away from a PR headache.
Threads like this are good as they also let HM know the forum isn't a mass of needy over-sharers but a respectful group of enthusiasts.

I'm very conscious that both here and in the real world most tz-uk members are thoroughly decent and considerate.
A member of seven years here because I enjoy much of the Rolex content (albeit less so recently), I don't think my trying to keep business separate needs to be defended, but possibly explained. There are sometimes overlaps and it is imperfect, but directing business enquiries through my shops or websites would seem logical, especially if a small number would abuse private forum messages, demanding time, research and other work as if it were a duty owed by any member who happens to be in the trade.
Unfortunately the first reply gave the OP an incorrect email address (it's .com), but most people can find my businesses and me for themselves in seconds with Google.
Before I blocked my inbox, I was increasingly receiving direct enquiries (often with many pictures) asking me to look at a watch that a member was considering buying elsewhere, hoping if not expecting that I would give them my considered opinion of it. Sometimes these were courteous or apologetic, recognising the burden requested, but with multiple, highly-regulated companies to run, 80 staff and something of a life beyond watches, how could I justify giving that time relentlessly?
Here are two different examples of private forum message exchanges that contributed to my decision to leave the inbox full :
"Is item XYZ that you are selling genuine?"
"Of course it is. Out of interest, how do you think someone advertising a fake XYZ as real would answer?
"There was no need to make me feel like a fool. I'll buy your item, but then I intend to leave the feedback you deserve."
hi H. can I just walk into st james having lost my complete lv bezel and they will replace it there and then? is it that straightforward?
thanks H.
[ tz-uk member ].
Hello [ tz-uk member ],
This sort of question should probably remain on the open forum rather than being directed at individual members. My life would be spent answering individual questions!
I suspect that for a full bezel replacement Rolex would probably insist on a full service at the same time. Ask them by phone and they'll probably tell you.
KRs,
H
thank you.
I will ensure that I do not take up any of your valuable time in the future.
Don't misunderstand me [ tz -uk member ], I'll try to help a forum member on the main forum or where they approach me for something that merits my individual attention, but I can receive up to a dozen messages here a day --- and as many by direct email --- from members whose questions could be answered on the main forum. I didn't mean to be quite as short as that might have read, so please accept my apology and should you need some small favour to make amends, remind me of our correspondence.
I enjoy being a member here, but I really do just have to watch my time a bit.
With kind regards,
Haywood M
please save your valuable time and mine by not contacting or interacting with me in future. thank you.
Low rent stuff, but multiply it by five on a daily basis and there comes a point where anyone says "enough!"
What a depressing collection of epistolary knobbery.
Now you're here HM, I am thinking of buying a watch from you but need more photos, can you take some please? Oh, and as you're quite a distance from me, can you post it? I'm not 100% sure it's for me so can you send it on approval please?
Just PM me m8.
People eh, don’t you just love em?Quote:

What do we think? :indecisiveness:
I can already see the guessing game begin. Draft thread brought to the next level.
At least we know, for the record, some of those who have his email.

tmoris - I'm afraid I don't understand. Despite the assistance above and my stated wish to separate business from the forum (as I am sure our host would wish), I continued to receive alerts from tz-uk including one a few minutes ago saying that my inbox was full but that you had just tried again to send me a pm through the forum. At the same time, no message from you appears to have been sent through any of my websites or their associated email addresses.
You may have done better with more relevant Google search terms, perhaps "Haywood Milton Rolex." Follow your nose to "Our Watch Team" and if he's mentioned there, you're on the right site!
Stuff it, Eddie will be as sick of this thread as the rest of us. If you still think I'm worth chasing, find the miltonaires site:occasion14:
Ive been pointed to miltonsjewellers.com and also to miltons.co.uk (where I actually sent an email to a guy named Phil and received a reply from Paul that Phil's on vacation). I also found numerous other sites. Glad to hear that miltonaires is the correct one, will resend there..Quote:

Sorry, I was frustrated on HM's behalf and was uncharacteristically sarcastic.
I'll go and have a cup of tea to restore my usual tolerance.
Shame on you HM for missing my PM, it was about a 5512 Military Submariner I picked up at an Isle of White car boot, the old dear had loads of provenance too... If only you had an empty inbox :icon_biggrin:
On a related note,
Thank you for you time today Haywood :)
Really appreciate it, I owe you a dram or two if you make it up this way (decent stuff too!)
