Are any of these QoS Ties?

Just found this website and was wondering if any of these are QoS Ties. There are a couple that I think look like the London tie.

    Great find asd007.

    I'd take a punt on code FT 0011 being the 'London' tie.

    Am I correct in thinking "take a punt" means take a chance?

    This one looks like it could be the London/Mitchell's Apartment tie: http://www.luxties.com/tom-ford-ties.cfm?idtie=1934

    Sruzgar had that tie, although it looks similar to the 'London' tie the dots are spaced too far apart.

    The one I mentioned is definitely the one you're after.

    FT 0011 on page 6.

    It was there but now its gone.

    I suspect this site only has a limited number of each tie.

    And in this case someone got in and cleaned 'em out!

    No worries! Congrats on your purchase! Make sure to post some photos when you get the tie!

    Apologies asd007 I didn't mean to jump in there & stop anyone else from getting one of the ties, I thought they'd have more than one left.

    Some sites list how many items they have in stock but they don't seem to do this.

    Maybe you could ask Redsleighdown if you can still get on the list he's putting together directly to TF for a 'London' tie.

    I always try to act quickly if I see anything that's hard to find as the chance goes once they're out of stock.

    Always order for yourself before you let everyone else know is my advice.

    The only sad thing is that you won't be able to get it for the same price.
  • asd007asd007 Posts: 225MI6 Agent
    The problem is I wasn't sure and I was seeking opinions. The same thing happened to me with something I found on Tiedeals.com. I guess I've learned me lesson now. Why do I have to learn these things the hard way.

    I did give my opinion on the tie before I ordered one mate so you did have an opportunity.

    You could e-mail them to enquire if they have any more or are getting any in stock.

    No problems 007 and a half. I was just venting frustration with myself. A positive take away from this is that we know that luxties updates their website immediately.

    Glad at least I could help someone get one.

    asd007,
    Great site find! It's nice to see others carrying TF ties. I spotted a tie that looks to be similar to the champagne Bolivia tie, so I pulled the trigger and picked it up. Once I purchased it, the item disappeared from the site as well. They must only carry one of each tie. Here's a pic from the site -

    I'm hoping it's a match! At the very least, it's a good looking tie.

    Kind regards,
    Craig

    Not again! I was just going to purchase it since I got home from work. I'm going to have to be a Jason Bourne fan or something.

    Congrats Craig!

    130$ for the 295$ ties? This is so unfair.

    Sorry, my fault...I gave him advice to post his question about the tie to a public thread for help since I am not a tie expert...I didn't realize he wouldn't get his ties he wanted and he was the detective who found this great site...really bad, sorry.

    It was a bit gutting what happened re. your tie find so...Would asd007 please email me, I may be able to help out. Please note that this is NOT to sell you anything, I just might be able to point you in the right direction

    Hey, I just want to make clear that, although frustrated, I am very happy that members of our community were able to acquire these items. I will always do what I can to help other members, as many of you have done for me.

    On a side note, I emailed support at luxties.com and asked them if they had any more of the ft 0011. They response was:"I inform you that we are checking about the tie you desire and during next week we will let you know if we can get another one.

    Please just confirm us if you desire it in dark blue with little grey dots."

    I have only seen pictures of the London tie. I thought it was black with white dots. Am I wrong? Could it be dark blue with grey dots?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200432127770 Theres a few on Ebay too, including a nice gold one.
    Dont wait for your ship to come in. Swim out and meet the bloody thing.

    Andrew,

    I know what you mean by missed opportunities. I missed out on the same TieDeals tie you referred to above - the Greene Party tie, thinking it might be the wrong color scheme, etc. I was hoping people were going to weigh in on it, and instead it disappeared into the internet ether. Sorry to have jumped on the Bolivia tie here. I didn't know you had your sights on that one as well. Again, it may or may not be the tie - it's hard to tell based on stock photos. God knows you can't trust the photos on TieDeals. It's really a crapshoot. I'm sending you a PM with some additional info. Good luck with your tie search!

    Kind regards,
    Craig
