In this instance I doubt a person
@divetime, it’s an interesting discussion.
I believe if a person is offering a watch for sale publicly, they have chosen the medium and the publicity.
The internet and Instagram are very powerful sales devices, made available publicly by those who created those platforms.
Sellers can make a lot more money and reach a much broader audience than with old fashioned ways— but if they avail themselves of the internet to reach an international audience, they have chosen the consequences.
They put themselves out there.
As the Americans say, «you cannot have your cake and eat it». The French have an equivalent saying, « you cannot have the butter and the money for the butter ».
Especially if it comes to public discussions of flaws or misrepresentations.
Compare with companies. If a company wants to offer its stock to the public, it has to accept public disclosures about its business.
If you do not accept that: keep your sale (or company) private. No one’s forcing anyone to sell on the Internet.
I agree people should be careful when they’re discussing other people’s watches on forums— sometimes they make cavalier comments, I personally find it inconsiderate sometimes— but when that happens and comments get out of hand there’s often someone who chimes in to correct the course.
It’s a well known fact groups can be rowdy, but groups are also often more intelligent and knowledgeable than a single individual.
(Edit / add- I realized while I was typing others posted similar thoughts- I agree with them).
Syrte! Totally agreed and couldn't have said any better! Thanks for this. During this discussion I already received private messages from a collector. He was proud to post a piece of his collection on IG and to share with others. He was not amused to find his watch as a thread to be posted as a redial. And I agree with him. It is everybody's personal decision. I m thankful that this is just contrary discussed. Happy christmas to all of you.
Just wanted to add that in Danish it is "you cannot blow and have flour in the mouth at the same time" 😀
The big difference for me is I was seriously interested in buying them and did ask for help before I did 😀
Somebody listed equivalent phrases in 8 languages including Danish!
Polish, the wolf is full and the lamb in one piece,
The Italians say you can’t have the barrel full and the woman drunk,
In Spanish you can’t attend mass and ring the bells,
And in German, you can’t dance at two weddings at the same time.
Portuguese for you @Tony C., wanting the sun when it’s raining on the field of turnips, but no swahili, sorry.
Though it may be considered politically incorrect by some, I like the Italian version the best!

Oh- I don’t doubt it! I find the languages of the South Pacific equally beautiful akin to the Romance languages. Sadly we English speakers got the worst of Latin and Germanic with some inane grammatical rules thrown in.
