Below is an excerpt of the entire article on Fratellowatches. Click Only 75 Pieces - The WatchUseek Edition Rattrapante ‘Challenger’ by TNT to read the entire article.


There is no need to introduce WatchUseek to you, the biggest on-line watch community on this planet. In the past, a number of limited or special edition watches have been created for WatchUseek. However, last weekend we came across this WatchUseek Edition Rattrapant by watch manufacturer TNT. As you can see, a very interesting 'bullhead' design with a rattrapante complication inside.

You know, having a "WUS Watch" made by a company infamous for screwing up another forum's limited edition watch is a perfect fit for WUS members. Most of them on the Public Forum are dipshit n00bs anyway. As you'll see in this hysterical parody, I'm certainly not the only one with that opinion:

Doesn't the price say it all? €900 for a limited (to 75) edition watch when the base movement costs €400. It's certainly not going to be a rival to ....... well anything worth having, actually.

We were all n00bs once; even n00bs don't deserve to get fleeced.

What gets me is the instinctive, knee-jerk suppression of dissent. That's no way to have a discussion.

See this even richer example from TZ-UK http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?273357-Funny-how-fashions-change
which has the owner defending the authenticity of an absolutely absurd piece against Jeff Stein and Stewart Morley, who know a thing or three when it comes to Heuers.

We weren't all dipshit n00bs though. Have you read the bullshit that passes for discussion on the Public Forum of WUS? Half baked 'facts' from members that can't tell their ass from a hole in the ground, inane This vs That, and a bunch of stupidity.

No I haven't. I found out a little more than a year ago that I simply couldn't take it any more.

WOW, just spent a bit of time going through that entire thread over at TZ-UK. Quite a learning experience! The owner over there has absolutley no integrity what so ever. To not be able to discuss a watches originality, pedigree and history openly...I thought that was the whole point of these forums.😒

Having spent quite a bit of time over at WUS before becoming a member here there are some good people over there. having said that...there are also many wankers over there as well! I use that previous term with specific purpose...I was given a "Profile Warning" infraction for using this term. I had told someone they were acting like one and to stop acting like one. This person was spewing so called facts about a certain posters Omega watch that even a noobie like myself knew was wrong and misleading. I think this persons intention was to get the watch at a greatly discounter price. I mentioned this to the moderator who sanctioned me but they didn't care...priorities are not what they should be over there!👎

That's rather concerning to be perfectly honest. It would be like us banning Desmond for calling a Constellation a redial.

A forum is as good as the people who actively involve in it. Except scammers, I don't recall this forum has banned anyone. Even the hard, stubborn, arrogant and foul mouthed members.
Facts and good analysis trump emotional opinion anytime.

The point of most forums is $$$ for the owner. They'll impose restrictions as they see fit, meaning they'll restrict or completely ban discussion that's counterproductive to making money. For example, TZ is owned by Antiquorum so any auction format that competes with AQ like eBay is not permitted. Some forums have other restrictions. If you wanted to link somebody to the page on the seller's website that you bought your strap from, you couldn't do it on Watch Talk Forums if they weren't a forum sponsor. Most forums will delete posts without warning and don't even notify the original poster, and sometimes even ban the o.p. on the first infraction.

You guys that aren't regulars on, or have come from, other forums have no idea how great it is here. Anything goes as long as you aren't a spammer or total troll. Hell, I'm about as blunt as a Louisville slugger and have the tact of a dock worker and I'm supposed to referee things!

Yeah, but a little dancing squirrel or a heated rant now & again make things interesting.

Cannot be better described and I appreciate.

Perhaps, this is the only forum around that is totally democratic, interpreted the old fashion way. Today, we still do shout and scream we are in love with democracy. Unfortunately, guided - that is, do as I say but not do as I do.

Thank-you.
