Why is this thread closed?

Seriously? Am I missing anything?

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. ?

Just like the thread you started which got locked.

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

Exactly that plus its clearly stated in each forum what topics can be posted in each forum trouble is some are to stupid to read it.

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.
