I know it's been beaten to death, but 200 just seems like an arbitrarily high number - especially for members that aren't chatterboxes. I love Omega watches and originally joined so I could post a WTB, I'm looking for a rare women's omega model for my wife but at the rate I post she'll never get it in this lifetime 🙁.
Whenever someone does that they always get outed for trying to get around the 200 post limit

The 200 post rule precludes you from posing a WTB or FS ad in the related sub-forum, but it doesn’t stop you from starting a meaningful thread and getting feedback.

No, if you create a genuine thread and discuss all of the details about the watch, why it’s important to you, how you’ve tried to find it, and simply ask others for ideas, it won’t be a WTB thread and should be okay. When people simply open a thread as a thinly disguised WTB without any added value, that’s what gets called out.
Is this what you’re looking for? Not for sale, just reference- I’ve never heard of a black tulip before.

Yes that is the watch. It's also known as the Cermet. It came in both men's and women's sizes and also in an even rarer gold color.
Well, if your only purpose here is to use the forum members to help you find a watch, then the 200 post minimum is doing it’s job perfectly.
This is a forum for fellow watch enthusiasts to hang out and have mutually beneficial discussions. Buying and selling of watches between strangers is best covered by e-bay, Chrono24, WatchRecon, etc.
This also reminds me of the TV Seamaster’s from the early 70’s. If she likes the form factor and can’t find a Tulip, perhaps the Seamaster would be to her taste.
I think he was indeed half joking- black tulip has been active in several threads.
I think we all come here with an agenda initially, some to learn, some to buy something specific, some to sell- but when it works out as intended, we stick around and become part of the community and enjoy the friendships and education.
I think the 200 post minimum is arbitrary and capricious.
And I should get some credit for using the word capricious, too.
