Possibly because the rules say you aren't allowed to sell others peoples stuff. There are really very few rules, but that is one (constantly ignored however).
I agree James, no damage done, let's all move onAll good in the hood
i wasn't selling anything though
It might be worth reading some of the stickies in order to familiarise yourself with the few rules we have in here.
i will do and thank you.

If you are shooting for 18 pages, your choices are:
A. A thread about Seiko vs Rolex
B. A thread about poor Richemont service
C. A thread about how Swiss watchmakers are gouging unsuspecting customers and ripping them off
D. Poor fortunes and impending demise of Swiss watch industry
C. This is a sure fire winner- some thread about pseudo sentimental BS related to watch which makes members go- oh! Such a heart warming story and make them feel good about themselves.
It is all tongue in cheek lest some sensitive souls take offence.
read a few mate and unaware of any I've broken.if i have i don't mind being pulled up I'm a big boy (figuratively speaking) :d
oh you weren't speaking at me :d

Spikey forum to get into this one. If I was a cry baby I'd have left a long time ago...
lol
i have an accurist will that do
Haha.. See my last post!
You only joined in May this year so not that long ago surely? I recognise the forum self polices as it needs to and in most cases that's a good thing so long may it continue.Spikey forum to get into this one. If I was a cry baby I'd have left a long time ago...
Yes please. PM sent
Better self-policing than mods. No contest.
Definitely!
Go for quality not quantity if you are looking for responses and you are new like me. I've started a few threads purely on watches (and a clock) that interested me and got a handful of replies but very informative and much appreciated (including about a Quartz Sekonda so don't worry about your Accurist!). There are some amazing and resourceful people on this forum.
OP - have you thought about contacting Watchfinder to sell it.
I knew somebody would bite... Like I said, its spikey :) May!! That's ages ago man...
LOL - and hmmm NO.
It is a lovely watch.

You may 'LOL' away to your hearts content but they're the most reliable buyers there are.
[QUOTE=Wallasey Runner;4040616]but as a dealer and paying the 10% that would probably be okay.
I heard most dealers do not put 10% in the fundraiser more like £50 a watch
Call the police!!!
Okay Grand old chap, that quote comes up as mine, but only the top line was mine, the second line came from a different post by someone else.

I think you meant E rather than a second C and I believe it was this point which tripped you up recently was it not? Taking the mick out of the sentimental doesn't exactly fit with the contrition you showed after the recent incident when people suggested that you had soiled your draws, metaphorically speaking of course.

Ha! That's why I said- tongue in cheek.
Anyway, his was genuinely heart warming story as well as a couple of respondents who said they were brought up by their grandparents. Plus, he was a genuinely nice guy.
To add my tuppence. When I first joined the site no newbie had done a hello post . So not realising I started my first post with a question regarding de-gunking a Seamaster. Things kicked off merrily.
It's actually not easy getting a feel for the site and I know one individual who is too terrified to ask a question ( he's no wall flower either) it Probably help to have a newbie thread running.
Just to let anyone interested know - the buyer has pulled out and the watch is now relisted in Sales Corner if anyone is interested.
Hardly surprising really...
Fair assessment, though I would respectfully suggest one update:
DELETE: A. (Rolex appears to have won that TZ-UK debate, by weight of population.)
ADD : A. "Look at my new Rolex everyone. Aren't Rolex Great"
It is all tongue in cheek etc etc..
Strangely enough there is (or was) a Jonathan Brett working at watcfinder...........
According ' to my sources ' (ie an old thread in watch talk) jb the OP was 'formerly chief buyer' at wf
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Yeh I seen that, google Jonathan Brett watches and watch finder comes up in several links..
Work for watchfinder - Become chief buyer - gain load of horology knowledge - question, why do I work for these people? - set up rival company - sell watches to old employer; erm NO..
Plot thickening....

I think that might just be why Watchfinder was suggested to the OP....
Moreplease .... This is running on....
Are you trying to say Rolex buyers are overweight?:-)
Atleast, one aspect of life will become boring the day Rolex vs Seiko debate is settled.
Or when we stop posting 'look at my shiny new watch' threads.
Having read post #1 several times,does that JB have English as a second language too ?
It depends if you read post #1 before it was hastily edited so as not to fall foul of the 'is this a disguised sales post' rule?

Daddel.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
If you say it in either charlton Heston's voice or Richard burton, it's easier!!!!
I can't hear Burton saying anything other than "No one would have believed, in the last years of the 19th century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space."

Thanet Technical College ?
When I was at school in the 70s the Technical College by us was were people went to do woodwork.
He's a CEO now, so done well ;)
Thanet always reminds me of Billericay Dickie by the immortal Ian Dury..
I'd rendezvous with Janet
Quite near the Isle of Thanet
She looked more like a gannet
She wasn't half a prannet
Her mother tried to ban it
Her father helped me plan it
And when I captured Janet
She bruised her pomegranate
Cheers,
Neil.
Agreed, but it depends on the size of the organisation. If he was CEO of The Goldsmiths chain then I would be impressed, but if it is one bloke in a shop, then not quite so impressive.
I was singing this the other day, must've read "Billericay" on a web page somewhere. True story. ;-)
