Post Quality Pictures
We cannot stress enough how important it is to post multiple, high quality, clear photographs of the watch in question from as many angles as possible, the most important being the dial, caseback (inside and out) and crown side. The amount of assistance people are able to give is directly related to the number and quality of photographs provided.
All members are able to upload images directly to the forum and the mechanism for doing so is fairly straight forward."
Also, you might want to be clearer about the info you seek, and less abrasive, you'll get more assistance that way. We are not a collective public service.
Ah, so “we highly recommend considering” is a rule? I was told to follow the rules. I have yet to see the rule.
If you saw the photo I posted, which I suspect you did not, what I was asking was quite clear. When you know the Speedmaster iterations fairly well and you see one most people have never seen before, the question “what is it?” is no less clear than asking “what is it?” when served an unrecognized dish in a restaurant.
Also, why do I get the feeling that if I merely posted a screenshot of this now missing Instagram post, I‘d be similarly piled on for “using someone's Instagram photo without their permission”?
But right, I’m the abrasive one. Asking what a watch is, then snidely being told to do research, and getting no further reply from the owner. Then being told to follow rules that don’t appear to be rules, because one member has their panties in a twist that they didn’t get to see the watch I was asking about.
Then the watch in question, which was called a possible put-together by one user, disappears from Instagram, with no explanation. So apparently the real issue isn’t that a strange, possibly Frankenwatch anomaly was queried and then deleted. It’s that I didn’t follow unwritten rules. Got it.
Had the watch not been questioned, would it have disappeared? I wondered why there were so few comments on it at Instagram, despite 1100 likes. Comments can be deleted by the account holder. Just like photos can be deleted.
Call me crazy, but I’m far more interested in why a rare watch gets taken down after people ask about it than I am in chiding the person who shared it.
But let’s not discuss any of that. Let’s focus on the fact that I posted a link.
I’ll be sure to work on my abrasiveness. And next time I see a Speedmaster that I figure might be interesting to folks here, I won’t bother.
