Your mission, should you choose to accept it, a little weekend fun for those currently without a girlfriend or mistress, how to recognise a typical TZ-ER walking along the street or on the tube, 1) Is he wearing a Barbour Skyfall Jacket? 2) Shoes Grenson or Loake? 3) Rolex Submariner or Omega PO? on a nato? walk up to him and shake his hand whilst saying I declare you to be a WIS and I claim my £10.00 Keep your eyes peeled TZ-ERs and good luck.

Probably wearing a very expensive set of headphones from some bizarre almost unknown maker.

It's more likely to be an MX5

Lol.
Plus, they'll have parked their Specalized mountain bicycle (with updated parts of course) close by.
You will also be able to tell buy the closeness of their recent shave with a antique badger bristle brush and hand made soap washed off with distilled water...

At least one of them will be at a market stall selling every kind of tat imaginable!
Plastic Faberge egg anyone??
Or buying up every kind of tat imaginable to flog on Sales Corner?

The back-to-front handlebars is a dead giveaway. If you're not in an MX-5 they'll be saying "you should have bought an MX-5".
"A man of little significance"
Judging by the OT sales in SC they wear XL size Barbours and yet have size 7 brogues. You can't make eye contact because they have vastly expensive shades on. Despite wearing a £5k watch they are shopping in Morrisons for parmos. This is of course assuming they're human TZers.
The NATO strap used to be the Masonic indicator of WISDom until the hipster crowd discovered them.
Whilst they save for an Aston Martin hopefully a good deal on SC

And if he is, I bet you that he says that he cannot chat for long as Eastenders is about to start.
No he has the boxed sets of Lost, 24 and CSI, of which at least one set is un-opened.or he spends all his time on ebay looking for fakes!

They don't walk anywhere, unless it's with their spaniels or labradors. They're teleported into ADs to tyre kick haute horologie
for hours, getting free champagne, asking the Saturday boy obscure questions about Jules Audemars' taste in lemon curd,
being given the semi-mythical "freebies", not buying anything, then posting on here amazed & outraged that the Saturday boy didn't know that JA was allergic to curds, that the champagne wasn't vintage & that prices are just stupid these days.
Oh, and they had a deconstructed Greggs' steak bake for lunch in the Social Dining Room & Jason stopped at their table to say hello.
They have an ATB to ride to work via the park, to keep in shape and save the environment, then drive a 6 litre Fat Boy Range Rover Sport to the weekend cottage in Devon with Tamara and Justin, at which time to get in the holiday mood they wear their Orange Monster and their Ralph Lauren Polo shirt, they wouldn't dream of diving unless its the Galapagos or Cocos Islands, the Barrier Reef being a bit common.

He won't be wearing Grenson or a Barbour jacket as they're always size 8 and XXXL - no-one can buy the bloody things!
Seriously though, th giveaway of a WIS, not necessarily a TZ one is wearing a NATO, esp. something like a Rolex on a NATO (yeuuugh) because no normal person would ever think or know to even try it.
One thing is for certain, and that is you'd only be able to F2F this TZ-er in the City or Canary Wharf. RMSD wouldn't be an option.
....whilst saying that "it's not in the spirit of the forum" about anything they're unhappy with, and pseudo-moderating SC on their smart phone.
Given some late night postings, the spirit of the forum seems to be pretty high octane.
Best wishes,

6.75" wrists, size 7 shoes and wearing an XXL jacket.
Shouldn't be too hard to avoid spot.

They'll use their iPhone to take 'quick & dirty wrist/pocket shots of their watch in the wild', and when they meet their watches say 'hello/hi' to each other.
They'll be carrying an old tea box that 'their' cabinet maker will be turning into a display case.
They may not be wearing a watch as it will either be in the safe, or with 'their watchguy' for its weekly service and refinish.
They'll probably bore the strides off you talking about F1/restoring their shed.

Whilst linking their Ginger Girlfriends looking for Norks and Buns.
A F2F if either you are sat down or they are stood on an orange box, given as they only sell jeans or chinos that have a 30 or 32" leg.
Whatever you do, don't upset the potential TZ-er as he will likely be carrying a custom made knife.
When you ask what he paid for his watch and the reply starts with "Well it owes me...".

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
More likely to be an overweight middle aged man in a M&S jumper (grey preferred) with coffee stained teeth and a limp
RIAC
Your typical bear pit ( baby house ) dweller will be very very easy to spot.Pastey faced and slack jawed as they have no hobbies or interests except constantly pissing and moaning about sales corner or some new herbert who dared to ask for some advice. They will then defend themselves by claiming 'It's not bullying, it's the spirit of the forum'. They will also be wearing a patch on their cardy that says ' long standing members do it better in sales corner'
Idiots

They'll undoubtably moan.
A lot.

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
If they're American, their watch will be wearing 'shoes' often made from old holsters.

Whilst wearing £250 designer sunglasses in a country that gets no sun.
To be fair, if the person was a typical TZ-er, he'd (and it would be a he...) be a pretty helpful person willing to do favours for people he has never met. As much as we mock ourselves, I have witnessed some wonderful acts of kindness on here.
Of course, that is coming from someone who doesn't own a Berber jacket, prefers to buy his shoes new, uses a plain old Gillette razor, doesn't carry a knife, own a Rolex, drive an X5 or understand the appeal of a NATO strap. That said, I have been known to moan and I do have an appreciation for ginger women and norks. hehe
Where have you been all my life
RIAC
He will be in the Barbour concession of a department store saying to the assistant "Do you have exactly the jacket I'm wearing but in a variety of sizes."
Stuck in a 70s rock music time warp where anything less than thirty years old is 'modern rubbish'.
Any size/colour they don't have in stock would be the one he 'would've had in a heartbeat'
Your forgetting he will be an amateur photographer who will endlessly pull you up about shutter speeds, aperture settings etc etc....,
How true? Can I get that with a black collar and removable sleeves?
Had to trade the cameras to buy the watches!! Perhaps that's why we take so many of our photos with phones
Drinks coffee made only from the most expensive beans, which are ground and brewed on equipment which weighs about the same as the average family car, and completely dominates their kitchen.

He will tell you that vinyl is better than CD, that he is a scientist and can prove that speaker cables make no difference and that only fools watch anything other than a Panasonic TV.
And for chrissakes don't get him started on BMW run-flat tyres.
The worrying thing is that I relate to 80% of these statements.
Perhaps a quarantined area of the forum could be arranged, where those infected to say 60% WIS or more could be kept under observation as a warning to the rest of us. Anyone care to devise a scoring system, or maybe a WIS-ometer app for iphones.
