Some one said start a thread,

Some of us have been around for a while, so why not re-live some of the Classic,s we have had here.

We have had cheese threads, weasel threads and many more side splitting and informative threads. So pick your favourite old thread for the newer ones to see what this place is all about.

Will start of with a train wreck that happened a while back ( Grab a or for this one )

It was of mild interest to start with.
And then a couple of days later I picked it up again.
It just seemed to draw one in like the Sirens, or a whirlpool.
Not only here, but at "that other place", it started brewing like the control rods had dropped and the reactor was going to go China Syndrome.
I was still working then and remember my first thing in the morning (05:30) was to see how it was proceeding.

Ah, them was the good ole days...........

 

Ah I remember the 'Ev3rclear' series.

Douche-baggery of quite a high order, and a remarkable audacity to come back from the 'dead' (ie. banned) again and again. Funny in spots, but a great example of how hard our mods work in blocking some of the nonsense that come from the scum of the (horological) universe.

 

Ahh that was certainly a good thread. Jrippen was a handful for sure. Lot of OF knowledge went into that thread. Good stuff.

 

I find myself going back to this thread often: https://omegaforums.net/threads/types-of-watch-guys.40712/

It's just too accurate.

 

Where's "Your Speedy makes you happy or is good for you because....."

 

Who posted the "pretending to sell a watch" FS post? That was single-handedly one of the greatest things I've ever read. Major props to whoever was clever enough to do that.

 

In memory of Denis @ulackfocus, this one was memorable.

Guiltily, I have had a few memorably shitty threads of my own. I have also stumbled across some gems that I will try and locate.

 

While the train wreck threads are always fun to look back upon, here are a few I learned a lot from that illustrate the collective depth of knowledge that sets OF apart:

One of the biggest highlights for me since following OF closely was the important education on the effect of Helium on the weight of watches... classic!

Also, there are some interesting thread links in the 2016 year end thread...

Would you believe that I finally stopped lurking and signed up for an OF membership after reading (and LMFAO) that very same thread? )

 

Wow that Jedi post gets better and better way worth reading all the way through.

 

This indeed was a good one! "Malarky!" LOL

 

Are we doing a flashback episode? Are the writers on vacation?

Some real gold here, and the fun of OF is the good mix of all types of threads. It's the veritable America of watch forums!

 

The best sales thread: https://omegaforums.net/threads/reluctant-sale-speedy-triple-date.23251/

 

Here's a thread on classic threads: https://omegaforums.net/threads/throwback-thursday.45364/

 

I liked this one. Some titanic discussion points.
