    Understood @Kay995 . Intro’s usually post in the member support or open discussion.
    We see many new members posting newly acquired collections (maybe picked up from Craigslist) and trying to sell them with dark and blurry photos of a watch box like you posted, trying to circumvent the 200 post rule for selling -which tends to be a red flag.
    The tastes on this forum are as diverse as the population- the income brackets are equally diverse. We have members with $50-100k watches that wear G-shocks daily. We also have many member that can only afford a $50 watch and they are equally respected-there really is no snobbery here (there is a lot of ribbing and poking fun- all part of being part of a community).
    if you want to introduce yourself, make a new thread in the members forum- take your collection into daylight and take some nice pics and tell us a bit about yourself.

    Will do an thanks for the direction. I'm not trying to sell anything, just looking and showing my new/old watches.

    Well, from those terrible photos I still can't tell much. But if those Rolexes are authentic (which I doubt, especially given the defensive reaction), they're still loaded with hideous aftermarket parts, except for the Sub of course. What Rolex reference is the one with the lion dial?

    Yeah but you still keep the G Shocks in a separate case!

    cross pollinating beaters with the good stuff leads to all sorts of nasty things.

    i now have a Timex hanging about because I was careless about storing a Waltham amongst the Omegas.
    Its bad ju ju man!

    Yeah Dan S my phone's camera sucks, sub is all original, datejust has authentic rolex aftermarket bracelet from another datejust an I had a jeweler set the diamond bezel. the I don't know the reference to rhe precision it has a custom made dial made special for the watch or I was told it was custom made for the person before me. I didn't like the 34mm size so I had the jewler put a new bezel on it with diamonds to make it a 37mm but Speedy an the other omegas,tissot,Paul picot is original.

    It might not be the phone, just your current skill set. This was taken with an iPhone 6

    I appreciate it. unfortunately I have a $80 Android phone no quality photography is going to come from this p.o.s. phone. My laptop has a better camera though future posts I'll use it instead.
