Since it says on the top "closed" it must be closed!!!
I think according to TRF rules, one cannot initiate "should I sell my watch?" threads here (i.e. outside the "classifieds"). |

I can’t read the OP’s mind, but a skeptic could read that post as trolling for a sale.

Mr G is probably correct as to the technical reason.
But also, asking unanswerable questions isn’t ideal. Like asking “should I dress to the left or right at work tomorrow?”

Because it's a sales thread that should have been deleted, rather than merely closed.
Do you think that your "stupid question" is a Rolex Watch related topic that belongs in the Rolex Watch Topic Boards. ?

Maybe because people ask that question a lot and sometimes those threads turn a little ugly?
Maybe because it could be seen as a hint that the OP is trying to sell the watch |

Unfortunately, it’s illustrative of the majority of threads being posted.
Should I buy? Should I sell? Should I trade? Did you see how much “so-and-so” is selling “X” model Rolex for? Do you think it is appropriate for “so-and-so” to be selling “X” model for $$$? Should “so-and-so” be reported to Rolex? Do you know what my AD told me? My AD has no SS Rolex in stock. MY AD wants me to buy a diamond ring before selling me a Rolex. Can my AD require me to buy a diamond ring before selling me a Rolex? How can my AD sell me a Rolex if he has none in stock? Is it safe to go on a Rolex waiting list? |

In the future, of course, we will consult with you prior to making any mod decisions.

Ok I think I understand the implication.
