·Bickering? This is called a discussion and all of us involved are actually decent forum friends. Perhaps you should not play moderator.

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersJust curious: what does his nationality have to do with his tenacity?
Gosh, of all the content in this thread you might have picked up on, you decided to comment on this?
I think, perhaps, this says more about you than anything else.
I was being descriptive, he is a friend, he’s American, he’s like a dog with a bone.
Fred reminded me of him.
End of.

Completely irrelevant.

Does it? That’s a nice deflection.

You can try and spin this any way you want, but the sub-text here is not flattering, and the implication is that Americans are annoyingly tenacious in a foolish, myopic, or dogmatic way. At least that’s what my friend said when I showed him this thread. Oh, sorry, my Black friend. Just being descriptive...

Fred likes the sound of his own voice, most of us here do.

·Where exactly are you seeing this? The foolish, myopic etc etc, where was that stated or implied? You are either over sensitive or trying to pick a fight, neither is a particularly welcome trait.

Wow, You remind me of an American friend of mine - he too is like a dog with a bone when he has an opinion to defend.
Now, try it like this: “You remind me of a friend of mine - he too is like a dog with a bone when he has an opinion to defend.”
So you’re saying the addition of the word “American” was just an innocent descriptor, with no other implications at all, either overt or subtextual? If so, we’ll have to just agree to disagree.

Actually I know a Welshman like that too, and a Scot and ...
Get a grip.

you do realise that by asking the question and supplying your predetermined answers , you are having a conversation with yourself?
As far as I am aware, Fred is American, my friend is American. Fred reminded me of my friend.
If my friend had been Kuwaiti, I would have said Kuwaiti friend.
You can read into my description of my friend whatever you like but that doesn’t make you correct.

·When it comes to newbies some of y'all need to work on your bedside manner. If someone posts about a watch they're interested in then don't make the guy feel like an asshole for liking it. ... Over-the-top negativity is just going to make newbies gun shy on posting their next potential watch.
Straw man argument. The only time a newbie may feel like an asshole is when he/she behaves like an asshole. Nobody gets called an asshole for simply liking a watch, no matter how bad. I don’t see ‘over-the-top negativity’ much either. Most of us are quite sensitive to a newbie’s plight, depending on whether they’ve bothered to do any homework for themselves before troubling us.
And, ‘how much money’ is separate from evaluating a watch. I think it’s a complete mistake to start talking about money before you’ve objectively evaluated the piece.
For me, money only enters into the discussion once I decide I’m interested. If I’m not interested, then I don’t care how cheap the thing is. I’m not a reseller like you are, and I’m tired of trying to get rid of what I shouldn’t have bought in the first place (because it was sooo cheap).
I think it’s another newbie error: buying something cause it’s sooo cheap.
I know you’re capable of being picky, @janice&fred , cause we’ve all seen your photos of Janice. 😉

·Ok gentlemen!
Back to the watch.
It is an old watch and looks correct except the second hand.
Condition is so so and if OP likes it he can buy it at the price he is comfortable with.
The end.

·What would be perfect, if OP returned and let us know the price he wanted to get it at and how the bidding ended. That'd be the end all of the 2 pages of discussion.

I frankly enjoyed the discussion above 😀, but can I just drag it down a moment - maybe as much for my benefit as PeeBee's. No-one yet mentioned the OP picture of the caseback. I feel the highly uniform and non-reflective finish of the horizontal s/s element might be that special one achieved in a, er, photo-shop. If so, the point for our new friend is not necessarily to run, but simply to beam a couple of extra questions at the seller. Maybe there is no problem. Asking can't hurt.
