Good catch !!

 

I think the 200 post rule is sort of irrelevant in these cases. This is the “hey I’m a new member and my grandfather left me this old Zenith” post. Mysteriously the original poster is gone after 5 posts (whatever happened to the woman with the Wakmann?) and we never hear from them again. I feel like if people are PM’ing them it’s caveat emptor

 

Exactly! The 200 post guard rail goes out the window as soon as someone decides to go off-road.
Don’t go crying when you end up in a ditch.

 

I try not to be too much of a cynic but I'm always suspicious of the “hey I’m a new member and my grandfather left me this old Zenith” post, for the occasional very real temptation to PM the individual. The 200 post rule, although not infallible, works well and I'm glad its enforced.

 

I wonder how many PM’s were sent to the dude with the Alaska Speedy…I’m sure @dsio knows.

 

I'll admit I PM'd that guy who showed up with all that NOS stuff with the Minerva pocket watches. Shortly after I sent the PM I was like, wait a second... this is probably a bad idea.

 

That was another example of a hit & run. Did anyone get any of those? There were some really unrealistic ideas (probably perpetuated by the guy) about what that collection was worth

 

After a couple messages back and forth he responded that he had some family matters to focus on and couldn't deal with the watches for awhile. After my recent acquisition my wife will kill me if I buy another watch so it’s a moot point for me now.

 

Well done, team. Onward...

 

I think most of us are safe from temptation if it’s a Zenith…

 

I kinda like Zeniths

 

I could be dazzled by the pretty colors on a Rainbow chrono.

 

A good reminder to listen to your spidey sense when something seems off. It's hard to tell someone they are being shady. It's easier to say to yourself it'll be alright, I'm just being paranoid. This nice guy couldn't be a thieving asshole.

Glad no one was taken. High likelihood this guy has taken others though. An unfortunate reminder to me to stay vigilant.

 

Me too

 

That cover girl is a looker

 

Don't shit on my M.O. bro.

When I hit 5k posts is when I unleash my fake collection of fake super cloned Sericas.

 

FYI................I think you said this out loud. Zip it!

 

Can't wait for the long story

 

I assume your fake Sericas will actually work properly.
