I don't mind the posts about what to buy. Depending where you are in the collecting/ownership game you may need some unbiased input. Filter the comments, as I always read some that are thoughtful and informative and some, not so much. I do think TRF is a community and most members here, that have been around for awhile, are thoughtful and provide perspectives that are based on experiences. I don't even mind reading this post and commenting, as that is what we do. I think members should ask away. Some of it will be good and other posts will be closed and I will move on to the next post. Such is TRF.

If I couldn’t make up my own mind about which watches I liked and asked the forums opinion, I would have no watches. See below.
I decided what I liked and I bought it.

The longer your here the more amazing it is that people cant make any decisions it seems on anything. I never have a problem deciding what watch is next on my radar. You would think someone buying a Rolex would be fairly well off and be somewhat successful. You would think they would have no problems making decisions. For me to keep my sanity I just dont click on any of those threads.

But what you will find, is most of these posts tend to be about 'value', it may not be in the title but will usually rear it's head in the post itself.

But the original post was about 'indecisive members' and I shared my view on the cause of this. I have said and many share my view, Rolex has unfortunately become "the brand to flex" in the modern social media age.

Are Guys that indecisive these days
This whole discussion kinda cracks me up.
This is a watch forum. I thought the point of it was to be able to discuss watches with other people who share an interest in watches as well. If the discussion doesn’t interest you maybe you should start a new forum called “My Forum, My Rules” As for “flexing” I’m pretty sure I don’t come here to see panda videos, get medical advice, landscaping ideas or exchange recipes. Showing off your collections or asking questions is exactly what a forum is for. I enjoy seeing all of the collections, big and small, old or new, in my reach or way out of it. I don’t care if you disagree with me or vice versa. Life is way too short to be pissed off. I’m super happy to see other people enjoy themselves. As for questioning someone’s manhood based on what they do on the internet - sounds like fake tough guy, punk talk I bet you wouldn’t hear face to face. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The more I read these posts on this particular thread, the sadder the reality is of the age of intolerance that we suddenly live in.
I don’t disagree at all that some of the stuff asked on TRF is silly but I choose to chuckle at it rather than get my panties in a wad. What doesn’t interest me, I don’t open or read. If I open it and not what I expected, I move on. Why don’t the whiners that can’t seem to ignore what doesn’t please them just simply list what is perfectly OK and acceptable to them to be a post on TRF? Then get the mods to approve and post it as a new rule and there you’ll have it, now it will be all your way.

Please add “is it safe to go to place x?” This is insulting to those members that live there. So, if you are worried, just don’t go. Man Up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If I like the watch then I buy it, don't like, then it's gone, period. I've owned and sold the BLNR and LVC and broke even back before the madness, still no regrets. I alone chose my career, my wife, where I live, where I travel, what foods I like, whether to wear a jacket when it's cold outside and my favorite color among other things. I don't understand this living life by public committee voting from a bunch of strangers. Edit: I believe there's a distinction between seeking advice vs having no direction. For example, I'm going to Disney World, any tips? I'm considering buying a Range Rover, can you tell me about it's reliability during your ownership. Any suggestions for a good white wine at xyz restaurant... |

It’s a watch forum, what exactly did you expect? No one is forcing you to be here, or read every thread. Maybe I’ll start a thread about how I hate when people start threads about not liking some of the threads that get started in here.

I don’t have a problem with it. Personally, I buy what I want first, then I tell everyone about it, but it’s ok to solicit feedback from others on these forums.

But putting dates aside for a minute, the argument is that men want to marry their mothers therefore they ask a watch forum for advice? How does that make any sense? Wouldn't they be asking their wives to make the decision for them under this argument? On the date vs no date, I asked another watch forum for advice on this - they introduced me to the SD4K. So glad I asked for opinions! |

No harm asking for an opinion. But, I instinctively know what I like. Watches no exception: I know the steel Submariner is the ideal watch for me. And I never have to ask whether it’s too big!!
