Everyone has a right to post or make an inquiry about anything they wish, but the following are a bit frustrating to me:
- Help me pick out a watch. Please work to upgrade your judgment and self-esteem.
- Please compliment me on my new watch purchase. Good grief!
- I love or hate my AD. Please just deal with that. I believe there’s a great deal of difference among individual dealers so it’s hard to generalize.
- I know what Rolex or Tudor’s business strategy should be better than they do. I suggest offering them your management consulting services.
- I banged my watch and have a little scratch. Please “man up”.
- Will X or Y watches be the best investment for me. Nobody knows and modern watches are doubtful investments anyway.
- Can I safely take my watch to country/city X. If you’re comfortable taking yourself and your family there, the answer is yes.
Sorry if this presents me as a bad forum member, but there it is.

Like you said, everyone has a right to post whatever they want, but the following is VERY frustrating to me.
- I think posts that I have no interest in should not be allowed on the forum because I can’t help myself from clicking on things I don’t want to read. Like you said, “Man up”, its just a forum.
Your reason for coming here isn’t the same as mine, which isn’t the same as the next person, so on and so on. If you don’t like what you are reading - close the window. What you came here for 30 years ago, 10 years ago, even 10 months ago isn’t always going to be the topic of interest. Times change. Interests change. Why people collect watches change (investment, etc.). Deal with it.
I personally am sick of the threads complaining about about the other threads. If you don’t want to read it, DON’T READ IT! (Myself included, with these thread bashing threads!)
