    I have one for trade. It used to be The Stig but now looks like a deformed willy. I can't get all the hair off but find that it works like an exfoliant on clags. I am looking to trade it for a hooky Rolex. If I don't get what I want soon I am going to use eNay (why do people get all Les Dawson-like (thezbians) about eBay like they can't say it? eBay eBay eBay

    Exactly so!!

    Congrats on that process of deduction. :)

    Now I'm just waiting for Eddie to work his magic on the new SC sub-forum.

Presumably we would all have to declare ourselves washed before daring to raise ourselves out of the gutter to congratulate our betters.

    Does anyone have a soap on a rope they fancy bunging on sales corner?

    While we're on the subject of separate areas, could we have one for nato straps? Where people could stick their tatty nylon pieces of tat on wholly inappropriate watches and everybody could congratulate them on their fine choice in private?

    It could be right next to the Rolex subforum, where people could post pictures of wholly unremarkable watches and congratulate each other on their distinctive taste for buying exactly the same watch as everyone else on the forum.

    Yes, good idea. I have some further sub-forum suggestions:
    - Rolex versus Grand Seiko threads
    - Grand Seiko threads
    - Bremont threads
    - 'What watch shall I wear while on holiday / getting married / to my job interview' threads

    I saw a thread on a forum recently about what watch to wear at a funeral.

    I'd like to think this is a reference to the ED209 malfunction scene in Verheoven's superlative 'Robocop' but I'm pretty sure it isn't.

    ...given the demographic, perhaps: 'What watch to wear on a first date with your sister?' is still a question for them to ponder.

    Oh, novel response. "They don't wear a Rolex because they can't afford one." Firstly, your inference from my remark is #FAIL. Secondly, weak sauce is very weak. Old weak sauce is even weaker.

    Imagine the dilemma he must have had over his shoes, shirt, tie, suit or Hawaiian shirt and shorts. Best advice though was to think outside the box!!!

    Good god. This was the best response in that thread:

    Remarkable that such a ludicrous post gets so many replies, myself included ;)

    There are equally ludicrous threads on here, maybe less frequently though.

    Perhaps instead of a new subforum, EddieDaBoss could simply remove all forums except Sales Corner, George & Dragon, and the Bear Pit. There seems to be very little watch talk left here.

    But,truth is still the truth. No 1 reason people criticise Rolex- sour grapes!
    Kid yourself all you want.
    More Kleenex?😃

    Why are you posting such immature drivel on this thread?

    I used to be a bit of a Rolex fanboy, but if you think the horological world starts and ends with the golden crown, then you need to get a life.

    Eddie - please just set up that SC sub-forum and we can put this thread out of its misery. :) It's gone off at a useless tangent.

    There you go again, pleading to the mystery being in the sky. Do you even have proof of this beings existence - where's the evidence (as with recent threads, Google and the like do not constitute evidence)

    But I didn't criticise Rolex. You may have suffered a reading #FAIL.

    I was criticising people who think they are cutting edge for liking Rolex. But thank you for stepping up to take the paintball to the forehead.

    So what do you think?? (- and I mean Eddie - not the rest of the great unwashed, who's opinions count for nought). :)
    I think if that's what you want, you'd better start your own forum with your own rules.

    Wink Oh well, I'll take that as a 'No' then... :(

    Not much more to add on the thread then, apart from the stream of 'I told you so!' posts that will follow, nevertheless.

    Nope that's been covered. If a defendant, a stainless steel or white gold watch on a black strap that is not recognisable to the general public.

    Of course your going down if there's a WIS on the jury!

    Well at least he got the Principal's attention, and that alone fills his little bosom with pride.
    The fact that he got a spanking doesn't come into it.

    The Bear Pit would be less fun as a rant-free zone, without Sales Corner staying as it is at the moment.


    The fallout and griping on there, due to SC, is pure comedy gold. Please don't alter it........

    Clearly not much on today as I mentioned earlier. Remember, the tablets go down easier with water.

    I see you are a cyclist.

    Bored now, end.
