As a noob, I very much appreciate this rule. Wish other forums would pick up on it. Joining a forum just to sell something seems like taking advantage of the forums generosity. Maybe registering as a sponsor and posting in the dealer section would allow an exception to the 200 post rule.

Sorry, it took a little time... as I didn't want to condemn you airily.
So I took a scientific apporach:
As the discussion is about posts, every post counts that is


But what is the definition of "about Omega watches"?
My attempt:
- A direct post about an Omega watch
- A reply to an Omega watch
The last part was not unequivocal due to thread drifts. So I decided that the post had to provide infos on Omega or had to be a follow up still concerning the same subject. If there was a thread drift to Longines, these posts did not count.

So I searched for Omega and Syrte. This resulted in 219 posts on 11 pages.
This alone did not convince you (see above) so that I had to count.

The result is ....

I did not review all of the 219 posts.

Because you underestimated your involvement in Omega!

After 7 or 8 of the 11 pages, I already found 77 Omega related posts not counting the strap advices for Omegas.

So what do we learn from this?
1. Even with little knowledge on Omega as you repeatedly tell it is possible to make many qualified posts here.
2. Don't condemn yourself easily....
3. Don't make assertions you are not sure of. There is always an idiot (like me) who checks them.
That js a brave endeavor! If the ratio you found for the first part applies to the other pages, it means about 100 or 108 of my posts over time may have been about Omega watches— and a number of them were vey basic replies to total newbies.
So I’m glad to see I wasn’t so far off the mark...
More importantly, everyone here was a newbie once and yet found a way to contribute while learning.
