Recently, an important number of the posts in this forum are about Speedmasters. I suggest: wouldn't be easier for all of us (those interested and those not interested) to separate those in a subforum dedicated to them?.

I am not trying to start an argument or step on someone's toes. Just trying to make things here easier, more functional.

Opinions, please?.

If the mods believe I am out of line (which is not my intention), please delete the thread.

 

This has been raised before and the Mods decided to keep things as they are.

Before you know it'll be like WUS with so many forums, sub-forums etc it's hard to navigate. Completely agree with cross-pollination, that's what makes the WRUW thread so good.

 

I agree. I want the forums to be easy to use and navigate through. WUS is a good example of a huge unwieldy, tiring, forum that I dont have the patience to sort through.

 

I’m a new guy here, well newish, and it totally worked on me! I came here to learn about Seamasters and Connies and in the process got interested in Speedmasters. Where before I was completely indifferent to them, I now want one! In the worst way. If they had been walled away in another forum, I would never have picked up anything about them. It would be like the Rolex and Tag posts that pop up; I just ignore them! So, I heartily support the one, big, happy Omega family approach!

 

A "Sub-forum" for Speedmasters would totally confuse me.

 

Totally agree here, it is only in the last 18 months or so that things have become somewhat lop-sided on OF ( should that be lollipop-sided for the Speedmaster fans? ) Who's to say in a couple of years things aren't completely different. These things come and go, then it was 70's colourful Omega's...then it was golden Connie's and De luxe Seamaster's...

 

This.

 

I'm still on the lookout for a 1980s Speedmaster to finish my decades collection. I'm also looking for any gold speedmaster with gold bracelet, so long as a LE. Please send leads.

And I just made this post so I could say, this thread is meaningless without pics.

It's plenty easy to read this message board without a speedmaster sub form.

 

OK, there is a general agreement about NOT doing it.

 

So... can we have a subforum, about subforums, about subforums, about subforums?

 

Let's have a poll (pol? pole?)

Sorry, haven't done a poll/pol/pole since I was on WUS.

 

Yeah, you could have 2915, 2998, 105, 145 then if it ain't pre-Moon it must be post-Moon. Then you could have Radium, Tritium, SL lume. Straight lug, Lyre lug the possibilities are endless.

 

I would pay money to see you do a pole........dance.

 

In my opinion the things are good as they are...

 

We should have a subforum where your opinion can be debated in full.

 

I for one like Constellations (not just pie pans )
And unlikely to ever buy a Speedmaster.

However, even I have been glued to my seat waiting for the next instalment of the Soap Opera that is
‘rare Speedmaster holy grail jet black non-wedge dial’

The knowledge and discussion on the forum (about all watches - yes even LCD ) is what makes it worth reading

So even though there seems to be a lot of ‘Speedy traffic’ at the moment - another vote for leaving things just as they are.
