I wish I could unsee this. That watch is all kinds of f****d up, even without the swastikas. Burn it.

Daydate1803, you joined OF today and this is what you choose for your first post? It’s not a curiosity. It’s offensive.

Hi, i would like to share this
🤮

Sorry if its offensive
Seriously?? IF it is offensive??? Can’t tell if a watch covered in swastikas is offensive? F@ck off

Editing my post as @janice&fred was 6 hours late to the thread and have no idea what happened... The OP was looking at a swastika emblazoned Omega with possible interest and was verifying the watch was not a redial. A giant swastika had been painted on the dial, which they shared several pictures of. As well as a picture of the caseback, which had another swastika engraved with I believe "SS" next to it. If Fred had looked at the time stamps of my post against when the OP was edited, they would have seen the photos were taken down after my comment. However, still odd you take offense at my anger/post over the original post of interest in this piece 👍👎
I think the problem has been fixed already so no need to type offensive language to virtue signal. Perhaps you should change your name to "showboat"?

Did not see the post and just googled what "swastika" means. 🤮
Thank you for your offensive reaction.

The quoted text makes it clear that the OP was still up when that response was written. And getting offended about the word "f**k" in a thread involving swastikas seems odd.

Offensive is offensive. Two wrongs don't make a right. It was already established that the OP's picture was in bad taste. Anyone else like to pile on?

Let's move on. The photo was in poor taste and the OP used poor judgment in posting it. To his credit, however, he did remove it when I pointed out that it was offensive and he said "Sorry." We have had many other new and esablished members who posted offensive content only to double down and make it even worse when they were called on it. I'm not defending the post and I can understand why Scarecrow Boat would react harshly as many others would have done had they seen the photo, but it's over now.

And maybe you, the "Virtue Police." I'm not going to apologize for the emotions in my initial response, which was made before the OP was deleted, btw. I find it disgusting the OP would "like" to share and discuss the "originality" of such a grotesque piece. Even with the OP deleted, the topic of the thread was mentioned in the very first reply... With that, for you to single out my response as "offensive" is disappointing to say the least.

You can’t be serious?? Where have you been for the last 100 yrs? You’re own private Idaho?

You just can't let this go can you. Obviously I thought both the OP's post and yours were wrong, hence my "two wrongs don't make a right" response. We both know what the point of my response to you was about. It was referring to your grandstanding, foul mouthed jumping on the band wagon AFTER the OP apologized and said he will delete his post. I don't need you to point out to me the poor taste of the OP's post with dramatic descriptors like "disgusting" and "grotesque". I'm Jewish and know all about it. I also think some others might not know enough. Some feel this crap is merely war memorabilia. That's sort of true so a bit of leeway might be in order. Relax.

English is not my native language.
I am living in Germany and not in my private Idaho.
So I do know „this kind of symbolic“ very well. Unfortunately. I know the word Hakenkreuz and I dont need any ironic questions from you, so please dont do that.

Fred, you did not see the original post with the images attached, so please stop acting as if you know what you are talking about. The original poster was in discussion with the seller of the watch and wanted to verify it was an original dial. It was not. It was not war memorabilia or even close to it. It was redialed and restructured to imitate "military" styling. Whoever did the redialing went further to add the symbols to the dial and engrave into the caseback.
I don't need you to point out to me the poor taste of the OP's post with dramatic descriptors like "disgusting" and "grotesque"
It was disgusting and grotesque. I don't need to you tell me not to describe it as such.
We both know what the point of my response to you was about. It was referring to your grandstanding, foul mouthed jumping on the band wagon AFTER the OP apologized
We both know the point of your comment is so you can stand on your soap box and project your holier than thou position at me while being an offensive hypocrite elsewhere. I was viewing this thread the same time Greg responded. I was typing my original response out while the op published their second response, which is why mine and theirs are a minute apart.

You know nothing about me but yet you have gone the extra mile to make it known that your opinion trumps my emotional response.

Anyone else like to pile on?
You just can't let this go can you.
And yet, here you are. Joined this thread 6 hours after the fact to pile on and repeatedly try to make your point known.
