Dang it guys, I have been here for awhile now.  Although I visit the site almost everyday but still have less than 50 posts.  :?  toon1.gif

I don't post much and I rather read since most members here are at much higher level of knowledge on watches than me. 

I don't know what's the big deal.  All I had to do was email Oscar and asked his permission.  That easy, on the otherhand, I don't sell watches regularly either...

Yeah!!

hinky: The right way to spell hinkie. :)
Something that is out of whack, just a bit off, wrong, confused, suspect.
Example: His directions were a bit hinky, no? That milk taste hinky to you?

Hmmm...

"Mr. Hinky (Hinkie) Dink" is part of a phrase in Devo's song Through Being Cool.

Now, it makes more sense to me! :D:)

Interesting to read these follow up comments.

I didnt set out to annoy anyone, my mistake was not spending a few days seeing what this forum was about before trying to "hawk" a watch in a manner deemed as "hinky". My apologies.

The first thing I saw when I went to the sales forum was that you need a posting history *OR* get a mod to vouch for you. This imples that you dont HAVE to have lots of posts as long as you could establish that you were a honest person with a good reputation.

I would have thought that a 5 year history on ebay and a few other recent references (all from guys who ARE regular members of other watch forums and quite possibly this one too) would have been sufficient.

For what its worth, I have only recently got the watch "bug". I know I don't need to explain that you have to own and wear a watch to decide if its for you or not... the few that I've bought I've decided were not for me, so I wanted to move them on, at a small loss. Thats the price you pay for being able to "try out" various watches, but it has helped me to work out what I do want.

I thought I was just doing what everyone else seems to do - buy, swap, and sell - in either the search for their perfect watch or just to experience the pleasure of wearing a different one all the time. I mistakenly assumed that this was the place to do it, but from the welcome I received, apparently not. Its a shame because I would have been happy to share my experiences of different watches I've owned, in hindsight I should have done that first before saying I had one to sell.

I'm sorry if you felt that I'd stormed into your private forum trying to do anything underhand, and I accept that you prefer to deal with people who've established themselves as one of "the gang" you can trust and view with suspicion those who are not. Like I said, I'll just sell it elsewhere, and I know the eventual buyer will be just as happy as every single other person I've ever dealt with has been.
