Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 479 was away for one day, I will never leave my computer again Dear friends and forum members,

I left the office early yesterday cause I had fiever. came back today and a fire had started. I talked to John in the morning and ironed things out. I personally admit the unprofessionality of the reaction of all parties involved including myself, John and the rest of DOXA. I need to make things clear here, as rumors seem to spread faster than a virus. Although I think it is further improfessional to discuss internal business matters in public, and all of you who own or work for a business know exaactly what I mean but because we dragged you all in, I need make some explanations here:

1. John was not fired because of salary issue. The increase was granted to him before this all started.
2. The reason behind the mess is that 2 grown ups (I apologize to the 2 persons here explicitely) have behaved like children in my eyes. Both are my friends and I will not cover either because they both know that loosing their temper has caused a great deal of problems. If you ask me what is next, I dont know. Time should heal all thes wounds.
3. All new DOXA SUBs are 100% Swiss made brand so I do not know who started this stupid rumor. John assured me that he never mentioned anything like that and I trust him
4. DOXA's core business is building watches, so everything like straps, caps, watch rolls, etc are not necessarily Swiss made. As I have nothing to hide, I will put a list of origin of all what accessories that come to my mind:

1. leather straps EC
2. Watch rolls EC
3. Caps far east
4. T-shirts EC
5. Watch cylinder EC
6. rubber straps are designed in the US, made partially in the Switzerland, EC and China
7. printed matters EC
8. shipping boxes EC
9. plastic boxes for parts EC
10. tools for bracelet replacement EC

As I have noticed that many dont even know that there are 2 Johns here. Both of us have served you in the past and I wish my dear friend John would be able to stay. Apologies have to roll in every direction to dilute the personal humiliations and insults that have taken place yesterday before the situation could change.
