    I am looking to sell however, on the for sale thread it says that I do not have access to post on that thread. Any advice?

    I know some of the guys are going to say it's been asked and answered... before you can post in the Sales Forum, you need to have a total of 200 posts. You now have 10, another 190 posts and you will have access to the Sales Forum and you can post your watch for sell at that time.

    All the answers to your question can be found in this link:

    Go to the sales forum and read the sticky thread that says “Please read”...

    The answers are in there...

    200 high quality posts ;) Nothing gets us out of bed like the opportunity to rain scorn down on someone who is racing towards 200 posts just to sell something. The goal is community engagement.

    I am not racing towards anything. Checkout my posts and I think you’ll see that all I am trying to do is engage with the community and learn from the rest of the forum members.

    Thank you for being kind and simply answering my question. I am new to the forum and I figured I’d ask the other members rather than stare Stupidly at my computer screen trying to figure it out. Some of these guys seem rather sensitive about asking for information that is “already somewhere else”.

    I understand... maybe, I’m not good using the site’s search engine, but, I’ve tried a search, only to find after I started a thread that my question had previously been asked and answered.
    There is a good group of people on the site with an enormous wealth of knowledge and experience. Take it with a grain of salt. Welcome to the asylum. Have fun.

    This forum, just like every other forum, is full of all kinds. Those who ask questions, those answer questions, those who stare stupidly at the screen,...
    That is the way of the internet, don't expect otherwise.
    I haven't seen your posts yet, but welcome.

    There, FIFY ;) (Note the winky emoticon, it means I'm having a good natured dig at you).

    Sorry you got your nose out of joint over the responses.
    We get many questions from new members who only want to use our forum to sell watches and crack the shits when they have to meet certain criterea, so some members may be a bit short after responding to dozens of identical questions.

    The sales forum is also well documented with rules (at the very top of the page), so you hardly have to "stare Stupidly at my computer screen trying to figure it out".

    I 'spose I'll go on your shit list for my response, but if not, and if you can handle some banter and blokey shit stirring you'll get along fine here.

    People might seem touchy, but after settling in, you'll start to see what sets them off. Every week a number of newcomers show up expecting forum members to be at their beck and call and then throw a fit when people decline to serve as their personal vintage watch valet.
    The forum has a culture of its own, overlaid atop the separated-by-a-common-language nature of Anglosphere intercultural dynamics. (Us) North Americans easily overreact to Brit/Aussie modes of communication that are coded in our culture as 100% hostile but are, as @JimInOz says, merely blokey shit-stirring. You seem like a good sport, so take some time to get the lay of the land around here.

    @krogerfoot, I spat my coffee out reading your second last line.

    Reminded me of a Navy helicopter pilot I work with a few years ago, said that was the one reason he like Aussies so much is the can say the C word so eloquently and often and don’t get offended by it or getting called it, like Americans do.

    ... and funny how British & Aussie modes start at opposite ends of the formal / informal spectrum, yet we usually communicate pretty easily. I'm sure there's a book or three in all this waiting to be written :coffee:

    I would remind the members that we have women members on the forum and that in the US at least, women find the use of , and veiled use of the word in question extremely offensive. Even if joking. Lets not have any more of it.

    Was in Okinawa on a US base and a lieutenant I had worked with for a few days and got on pretty well with, asked if I had a filter, I replied “Whats a filter”
    Think he is still laughing at my reply.


    Find the British are very tolerant of Australian informalities and actually expect it and thus it doesn’t cause issues.
