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.
