Yet when a post pops up such as “never wear your 1000m dive watch in the hot tub it will destroy the seals and cause damage” I never see a “prove it” type request.
I hope the fear mongering and rumors of damage, bad habits etc. end but it will take the watch community to promote the end of it. I personally hope we all agree too.

Wow bro, no one is actually asking for people to PROVE their incoming new watch… they are just recounting a long-standing internet tradition of using this popular phrase that essentially means “we’d like to see a photo.” No one is LITERALLY asking them to post pics to PROVE their incoming watch.
TRF clearly has a diverse population of members from teenagers to people in the 90s, so it’s not surprising this reference would be lost on some.
