·I never go to WUS, but gotta say watchrecon pulled up a WUS lead on an 24mm mesh Omega bracelet for $199. This was a few days back. Worked out great. But it was a total pain sorting through the web interface.
I'm not familiar with WUS rules but with watchrecon and watchpatrol always searching WUS I've noticed that I get alerts upwards of 6 times a day for the same watch because people are bumping the sales ad, all day long...... even once a day is a little much, but no joke 6 times a day on a single ad 😵💫. I finally had to stop the push notifications on my phone which did result losing on a deal that got scooped as soon as it was posted.

··Omega Qualified Watchmakerthat's shocking, but maybe they don't have control of what ads go up on their site? Maybe google tries to match the most relevant ads to their website.
They have had issues with adverts since Ernie sold the site a few years ago. I sometimes get pop-up video ads that I can't get rid of, etc., and each time I report them and things improve, but I do think things slip through.
Any suggestions that they condone the advertising or selling of fakes is off the mark...

·That's a little sad. I frequent the WUS forums, and have learned a great deal off of the Vintage subforum. I think that subforum is a gem. Everywhere else... not so much. The advertising is very, very offputting, though. I do understand that it is necessary to keep the site going, but showing advertising replicas is a shocker.

I think they allow bumping every 12 hours IIRC.

·It's not a place I frequent much these days, far too many little Schicklgruber's over there for my liking.

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.Started with the Blogs, then found WUS. Pretty quickly realized it had a troll infestation, but I saw a reference and followed it to the UG sub-forum here. I don't even remember my password or user ID. OF is all I need.
