Reinvent. There were people being automatically nasty based on the name. I suppose that'll start happening again now that you've outed me.
Hey I would imagine most won’t give a damn. It would be different if you were banned but you can pick any name you like within reason. Look on the bright side, at least you can post some watch pics now.

But Tom. It was sharp of @padders .. I'm impressed. Anyway, I liked you under your old name. Although I can understand sometimes it's nice to start all over. If only that would be possible in real life!

Since it's [email protected], why not? 😀 That's the address I use for "I bet this will cause me spam down the line."

He has an ear for "voice". Mine is distinctive.

That tale rang a bell so I took a look and here it is being told before:

https://omegaforums.net/threads/con...th-crosshair-and-meister.110360/#post-1453882

the relevant quote:


“I have a dial on a Seamaster where some printing was added after the fact. It's clear to me that the above dial was printed all at once. I think your theory has merit.

Tom” AKA VetPsychWars

I wondered where you got to.

It was clear that skunkprince had been here before. Were you banned or did you just decide to reinvent yourself?

Well, that was some impressive investigation. Unfortunately, I think there may be a rule against having more than one account. Not sure about that though, I could be thinking about a different forum.

Not aware of any such rule and I've been on here for a while now. Regardless, I am only using one, and I am not using it for evil.

I’m not going to get in the middle but I believe skunk man dumped his old account so he isn’t using two. I’ll leave it at that just piping in as I purchased a couple things off skunkprince and everything was cool and he was a pleasure to deal with.

Tom, that’s you!? I couldn’t recognize you with the wig and makeup 😉

How do you dump an account? I understand he stopped using it, but he can resume at any time. Anyway, I don't care.

I indeed have been discussing the watch in this thread as have others, and since you insist then ok I will discuss one of your listings. One of your listings features a watch that obviously lost a fight with a piece of sand paper on it's case back and you call it a "calatrava" when clearly it's not a Patek. Remember...you asked.
Why I call the design ”Calatrava” is another discussion and belongs to another thread IMO.

About the caseback it looks brushed and since other examples from the same reference looks the same I thought it should be brushed and didnt mention it in my listing.
But if you got more knowledge about this reference and think mine has a caseback in poor condition I can add that in my listing.

Mine


Other from the same reference:

The last one is from another active listing here on the forum:

You complained that I wasn't discussing your listing. Like I said, you asked for it. You went off the rails that I dared call an old seamaster I spotted as "interesting" yet you call a regular old Longines you are trying to sell a "calatrava". So...why not cheer up, post a cat pic and let it go.

Why I feel the Calatrava discussion belongs elsewhere is because there already exist lots of threads when this is discussed on the forum. I still feel none of your post are discussing the particular watch in your threadstart though.

Is your opinion that the Seamaster is not a redial? And that the case only has wear and has not been polished?
