··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorAlthough I agree with your definition of what’s considered original there are many avid and knowledgeable collectors who disagree with that definition. Disclosure notwithstanding, you’ll find frequent lack of consensus of what’s considered tropical, cream, vintage, keeping good time, etc. Even still, some sellers may not be skillful enough despite the best of intentions to adequately describe a watch.
They can disagree all they want.
Hey, try telling a flat earther the world is round 😉
I do agree with you completely with the tropical etc

·1. People who post a pic of 3, 4, or 5 watches with a caption like "don't know which watch to wear today/Too many to choose from".
2. People in watch groups who ask "should i buy this watch?/which watch should i buy next?"
3. Sellers who don't ship out of their own country.
4. Ridiculous shipping fees - $25/35/50 to ship small parts like end links, buckles, click springs...

·The first antimagnetic Railmaster, Reference 2777-2, was produced in 1955. It is a civilian successor to the 1953 military antimagnetic, the RAF Reference 2777-1. The reference 2914-1 Railmaster was produced in 1957,as was the 2913-1 Seamaster300 and 2915-1 Speedmaster.
Therefore, IMHO, the new Railmaster LE is the 60th Anniversary of the 2914-1, which was actually the 2nd generation of Railmaster.

·Showing your shoes in the background of your wrist shot. I don't care how vividly colored, unexpectedly hip, or fantastically stylish your shoes are, I am just tired of seeing them in wrist shots.

·Motivational selling bumps like, “Let’s get this one sold!” Or when a watch is not selling and the seller raises the asking price in an effort to signal that the asking price is fair and you better buy it now before you miss your chance at the fair asking price (which nobody is jumping on)

·Ditto
Or posts a photo of their 5 identical examples of an exceedingly rare and valuable watch, at least 4 of which never see the light of day outside a safe
I know the feeling

Who on earth could be doing that? 😗
Personally, i think it looks fantastic to see so many of the same model together, as a collector, it tells me that it's going to be that much harder to find a nice piece for myself.

I hear you, but I also appreciate the knowledge of some of these members (that’s come out of their experience of owing 5 examples) and, frankly, the thrill of the chase tends to be the real high in this hobby for many (I don’t own multiples of anything except Pogues, so this isn’t me speaking from experience...).
