    If said rectum had a belt sander in it, I would agree.

    "Please note the watch will not be able to be shipped until 13th July. Sorry for any inconvenience caused."
    It's because it needs some more polishing. ::facepalm2::

    And I can just see you saying it has a wonderful charm to it if wasn't Alex selling it.
    Time to move on from the witch hunt every time he posts a watch for sale.

    That's a bit of a worry as a buyer really... Sort of the opposite of a fully working watch.

    If there were evidence of lessons learnt & behaviour moderated - I might, at a stretch, agree with you

    You evidently were never the recipient of a disguised email / fake account email offering to buy a watch, you were simultaneously asking advice on, from within the Forum

    Besides.....Nowt wrong with a good witch hunt.....if it catches Witches

    And as your avatar strap line says........."Hey he asked for it "

    Wow $10k USD for that watch!!

    Crazy high. Or am I just really out of touch?

    So glad I bought my Ed White 12 months ago. I'm no longer collecting speed masters. Simply need to move on now. So sad.

    If it was sold to a buyer, who actually coughs real spondulics

    In which case.... Potentially watch out for newbie Forum post "Just bought this on eBay....Did I do OK ? " .....,alternatively "Does my wrist look big in this ?"

    Suspect we will see this particular watch again

    Appearance was a little too engineered for my taste......"Hey look at me ! ....I am definitely not bright & shiny...therefore I must be the real deal "

    You're absolutely right.
    I was never the recipient of a disguised email, and I have never asked advice about a watch on the forum.
