I'm actually dead-set against that idea. And here's why...
You can put a "noobie" limit on inquiries and a member can simply set up a new profile and start over with more inquiries. I can tell you that one too many times have I gone out of my way to help identify "Grampa's prized Omega", only to see it turn up on eBay a couple of days later. No matter how nice we try to be, someone will take advantage and use us as an appraisal service for their watch business.
With respect to the original poster, one has to suspect that someone who would really want the correct information would have enough common sense to realize that without decent pictures, even the most learned horological scholar can't identify a phantom watch.
I consider myself a cynical optimist. Maybe I should use that as my tag to find posts?
