Here my history.
Ondrey (http://www.papi-knives.com/damascus-folding-switchblade/) accepted my order on watch in the summer 2010. In the end of September He were ready to start to do them and have asked the deposit.
On September, 25th 2010 I have sent the deposit. In the middle of January 2011 Ondrej have written that watch are practically finished and have asked final payment.
On January, 19th I have sent final payment. But watch I have received only in May 2011г.

Watch look very cool. They have liked me. But my happiness was short. Has passed two days and watch have stopped.
Rotor did not charge a spring watch. I have been very grieved by it. Ondrej have recognized the mistake and promised me to repair watch in the summer when I'll be on a vacation in Czechia.
In the beginning of August 2011 I have arrived to Czechia and have sent him watch. There has passed week Ondrej have written that all well and watch work correctly.
I had a long trip to home Ondrej and have received watch. But has passed two days and watch have again stopped. Rotor again did not charge a spring watch.
In the end of August I have returned watch to him. To me are not necessary watch which do not work on it I has asked Ondrej to return to me funds if you cannot make rotor which charges a spring of watch.
He would write that I did not worry also He will make rotor which will charge a spring. I have believed to him.

But by the end of December 2011 I had no watch. I am tired to wait and have asked Ondrej to return to me funds. By this time I any more did not have good feelings to watch.
Ondrej have refused to return to me of money. He have suggested me to send me watch or to sell them for me. But to me are not necessary watch which I work not correctly (rotor does not charge a spring watch).
About it I have written to Ondrej and have offered after returning to me funds to do with watch that want. In current of month Ondrej very seldom answered my messages but each time refused to return to me funds.
Ondrej wished to return to me watch having placed in them standard for movement ETA rotor. To me are not necessary such watch.
In the beginning of February when this history became known publicly Ondrej have written that will return to me of money when will sell watch -
"I will send you the money when i sell the watch, sometime in the first half of the year ".
"sometime in the first half of the year" does not work for me. About it I have written to Ondrej.

I have written Ondrej-
" Ondrej I any more do not trust your promises. I do not wish to wait more.
I have paid full cost watch but have not received working watch
I do not ask you to cover some transfers watch across Czechia and Russia.
Please simply return to me $2250 which have received from me for watch. "

Has passed more than year when I have paid full cost watch.
Has passed more than seven months when Ondrej last time promised to repair watch.
Has passed more than three months as I have asked Ondrej to return the finance for watch.
Has passed more month when Ondrej has written that will return the finance.
I still wait returning the finance.

I believe that this history should be known all to not have problems with Ondrej.
If you have begun business with Ondrej do not do the deposit and before payment check up result of work Ondrej.

Is a lot of good watch brands besides Breitling. But who of them make watch in damasteel? :rolleyes:
 
I believe was not. Ondrej lives in Czechia. He it is registered at other forum as papi.
But since Ondrej has website I believe this information will be useful not only to members of a forum where it is registered.
 
Hi Erni,

i spoke with him ones on a knife fair,
but douse not really matter anymore because his knifes making days are more or less over ?

but he should bite the bullet and make this right for you

Hello martin

I am not assured that correctly has translated your message. But I shall answer as has understood.
I too had two meetings with Ondrej. And I trusted it.
I saw two knifes Ondrej's and had one. They are really made well.
The owners a forum ban Papi. But unfortunately Ondrej has not made actions for the solve of a problem.

Take care,
Erni

I till now wait when Ondrej will return to me of money.....
 
Hey everybody

Now on August, 19th 2012г. Ondrej promised " I will send you the money when i sell the watch, sometime in the first half of the year ".
I have sent Ondrej PM and email have taken an interest when he will return to me of money. But He has not answered.
On it I think Ondrej will not return to me money.
Has passed already a lot of time Ondrej has not returned to me money and does not answer on PM.
Now I with pure conscience can tell that Ondrej has stolen my money!!!!

Ondrej Berkus you the THIEF!!!
 
Ondrej today has sent email:
Oh, i'm sorry, i was too busy explaining to all my friends that some russian prick is spilling lies about me on the internet.

Anyway, you are not getting anything from me (though i am partial to paying for you to get some english lessons, cause i'm tired of reading your bad english), since you made such a mess with your lies. The only way you can get the funds back is taking down all the bs you posted about me immediately, and this is the last time i'm offering you this solution.
Otherwise, my lawyer will be contacting you and filling a lawsuit for slander and lost wages.

Ondrej


I think in comments there is no need....
 
Hey Ondrej how you live on the money stolen at me? It is sweet? You Sleep easy? Conscience does not disturb you?
 
Continuation of history.

Two months ago Ondrej has sent email that it is ready to return to me of money.
We had the agreement that he will return money in several parts.
But for two months I have not received from Ondrej any cent.
I some times asked at Ondrej when he will start to return money.
Each time he wrote that will soon return money.
Has passed two months. Now I understand that Ondrej again deceives me.
I on former have no watch and money.
