    What happened to this thread, it has been removed today from OF?

    Are we not allowed to discuss around the virus and it’s following economic impact and on vintage watch pricing and effect on auctions?

    Curious to hear what happened.

    What happened is it was being taken over / hijacked, by people who solely wanted to discuss/ extol on the Virus: not it's tittle subject. After having to remove many posts, it was clear it was not going to work in the current world environment. Perhaps in the future, after the Virus is no longer front on the world stage it can be tried again.

    Ok, maybe we will be more mature later on for this kind of discussion here on OF.

    Yes. I was wondering this also. Apparantly during my sleep things went wrong.
