There is another thread where the OP makes up some weird story about losing an old ladies watch. He posts a few weird things about his story and asks for help finding the exact same watch to give to her so she doesnt know it was lost or stolen.

I make a thread, and in the OP make up some improbable story about a precious dial that I accidentally ruined. I than post that it belongs to an old lady who is very sentimental about it and if anyone can find me the exact same one so that she won't know what happened.

I was trying to make a funny thread not trying to trick anyone into buying "fake dial" that I don't even have.

You let this "Joke" go for more than 12 hours before you admitted that you were lying. Not cool, and still seems like you were up to something fishy until you got caught

I made the thread after 11 pm and said that it was a joke the next morning. Everyone seems to be so uptight over here.

Don't worry, I wont tell anymore jokes here

Me: "A horse walks into a bar and orders a drink"

Forum: "What a pathetic lie you are telling!!! A horse would never walk into a bar and order a drink, that preposterous!!! I cant believe you kept me up all night without telling me it was a joke! Not cool man! I bet you were just phishing for someone to buy a drunken horse off you"

I posted about the old lady on the first page of the thread... my 4th post in the thread. You never mentioned an old lady in a single one of your posts, before or after me.

I dont know why im bothering with this... I guess im board.

BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!

According to to forum clock you originally posted at 5.19pm . You made further posts "bolstering" your story at 6.53pm and 7.22pm. So you where on line for 2 hours playing with your little "joke".
You made another post at 5.27am, you made a further post at 6.18am, then your "its all a joke" post at 6.22am.



Nice work!!!!!

I've just deleted the OP's FS thread of his 5513.

I just can't trust him and would hate for the transaction to turn into a joke.

and also dont try to ask for help in tricking old ladies when you lose their stuff ;)

You are the worst joke teller in history. I fail to see how you were joking from the above clarifications.....
If I were to see you running with a pair of scissors in your hands I would not stop you....
For the record I would much rather watch Twilight.

Good grief, hlimrolex....let it go! Whatever you were up to/attempting, it certainly did not go well. You should have cut your loses right away, but by continuing as you have been, well, you see the result.....

If anyone is interested, I just ruined my submariner when I was in the shower because soap got on the case and I over-wound it but it was very sentimental to an old lady and I want to give it back to her before she realises what I did so if someone can give me a replacement for free I would appreciate it.

My story makes about as much sense.
