Cheers for the evening reading, thoroughly"enjoyed" the jripper and ev3rclear posts, bit like the chemtrail and flat earthers on Facebook; can feel the blood pressure rising but can't stop reading just to see what's going to happen next!

Ah I remember the 'Ev3rclear' series.

Douche-baggery of quite a high order, and a remarkable audacity to come back from the 'dead' (ie. banned) again and again. Funny in spots, but a great example of how hard our mods work in blocking some of the nonsense that come from the scum of the (horological) universe.

Holy fυcking lulzzzz...

"I don't plan on making any money, I just want to start out with some 200 dollar sea masters and finish with some 100 thousand dollar speedys and subs ...but, you see I won't actually be making any actual money because it'll just be equity in watches which I promise I'll never sell to finance my eventual Peruvian marching powder habit...Promise!"

My oft repeated advice for new (and old!) members is to sit down in a comfy chair with a thermo of coffee and sugary treats and start with the earliest page of threads in the "Vintage Omega Watches" subforum and read until you reach the newest posts.

That's how I got the idea for the "Throwback Thursday" post, when i re-read the threads for the second time 😉

NOTE: On a number of threads, especially those with Speedmasters, you shouldn't look at the prices quoted 🙁

And our latest classic

The thread was closed before I had the chance to introduce your new name:

Standy "Two Boats" Jackson 😁 /pythonreference


To actually add some content to this thread, I'll suggest that people have a look at the "Show You Unusual Chronographs". A great thread, though it at some point ends up "just" being a show case for chronos, uncommon or not.

Who posted the "pretending to sell a watch" FS post? That was single-handedly one of the greatest things I've ever read. Major props to whoever was clever enough to do that.

I believe the first was member event horizon:

I did one myself a little later on a different, more direct note:
