Speedmaster 145.012-67, questions regarding the movement??/Question to Dan S!

Guys, first of all, I am back from a lovely week in Greece with my family and relatives, we had a wonderful week with the usual sun, beach, food, brewski and family loving!

But back to my post…
I managed to follow (and bid, and even won!) some auctions while I was there, and this post regarding the movement of a watch sparked a (Dan S) fire..

So here we go:

Dear @Dan S ,
I have had some time to digest your posts regarding your opinions of me and my posts.
And TBH, when I started to read your first post (you have now edited it a few times....),
my first thought was that somebody had hijacked your account, had it been sprinkled with emojis, it must have been…😉??

I thought first that - Hey, I can't be friends with everybody!
I work in the construction business, and some guys there eat barbwires for breakfast.

But then I thought about it for a while, and that I should do something about the whole situation.
I have learned through my experience in life that some things can't just be said (written) without clarifications or explanations.
And in this case, new members like me and also first timers might get discouraged with their thoughts and questions?

I myself enjoy watches and interacting with other fellow watch lovers.
I like the search for potential watches (Bargains are the best!!), researching, asking questions if in any doubts,
and doing the auctions itself (win or lose!!).
It is very exciting/thrilling and of course very satisfying when winning.
And I also like to share with Forum members the feeling during the journey.
And there is also a bonus where everybody can see the possible current value of the watches.
I have also understood that some of the members think my posts are interesting and good entertainment,
combined with a little "how to do an auction 101"??

I have followed most of the posts done here for at least a year or more regarding Speedmasters and other brands that I find interesting, and I can't recall or remember any of these posts that received such ugly and humiliating answers from any Senior Forum members?

There are of course the comes and goes (what is my fathers cousins brothers watch worth..🙄) that get whipped…

I have always thought (and still think) that this Forum shared the common joy and feeling of watches, buying and selling them (or planing to buy/sell), assessments, showing what we have and how we got it, future plans and the normal stuff that we can chat about?

I do understand by following your posts and answers to other members on their posts that you have great knowledge about watches,
you do take lots of your time and effort to answer peoples questions, and I have received lots of help and info from you as well.


But your latest answers and comments to me felt really patronizing and humiliating, and since you have edited your posts (on this thread) more than a few times, me and my posts must really bother you?

You could have sent me a DM and we might have worked this out?

We do have lots of senior members who regularly do posts (with links) on upcoming auctions with comments, assessments etc..
The Forum even has a ”Sticky” regarding upcoming auctions on E-bay…
There is also a Swedish watchforum (Klocksnack.se), and there are daily posts on up-coming auction where the members comment on the watches regarding condition, value etc.

So I have done a compilation showing all my posts regarding auctions, with comments that could matter?

Please do me the favor (and maybe other Forum members??) and give me an honest answer -
What exactly has bothered you so much?
I do appreciate an answer since you have publicly flogged and whipped me here on the Forum??
And you never know, I might learn a thing or two (just like with watches..)??

You obviously deserved it. We’re on a watch forum, discussing obsolete luxury items whose importance ranks up there with issues like global warming, political unrest, and economic instability. Your behavior regarding auctions and what you post related to such is VERY important. Don’t screw up again!

Well...was thinking of doing a 3-D version, but the guys at Pixar didn't answer my emails...😉

Sir, YES, Sir!

Fortunately I didn't have coffee reading your post, it would have landed right on my desk!
Extremely amusing and made my day!
We have to sometimes focus on the bigger picture, and realize that there is a world out there...

Cheers!

Thanks for those thoughtful words!
And to be honest, this debacle is a drop in the ocean comparing to spending a week with your relatives...!
Who want's to eat and drink, what and when and where....and so on...😁
For a whole WEEK!!
