We should, but then again it would only be a few of us left on the forum.

Well,banning is a bit harsh, but I think the threads should be quickly closed as they are pure speculation posing as fact.

I miss BC's wacky threads, Bristol was at least entertaining.

One thing I expect is at least from tomorrow we should close any fake threads citing Basel new models. Till today, it is fun but tomorrow it will confuse everyone between real and fake threads!

No one will be confused after tomorrow. Everyone will know what’s real and what’s BS.

We’ll all be on Jocke watch until then.

Would be better if they would all be condensed or people posted in the same thread.

Recently banned thread



I didn’t notice any banning but damn the Rolex Gen discussion was getting mobbed by foolish nonsense. Clickbait is okay on occasion when playful but when everyone is doing it and many are repetitive...

I heard from a very reliable rumor-monger, who knows a guy who works at an AD, that the new Explorer will be Platinum.

I already knew the Milgauss was going Pt. It's very cool that the Explorer will be Pt too.

The clickbait belongs to the Jokes section methinks. Continued “fake” images is what we have really been seeing.

So should posting a virtual fake Rolex picture cobbled via photoshop be treated with equal penalty as posting a picture of a physical fake Rolex?
