RWG has always been the place where we share knowledge about watches and out the scammers and fly-by-night shysters. We always say "trust the seller, not the watch". So where does that leave us when a member that had been here for NINE YEARS goes rogue? I recommend using the Feedback system here more. A LOT more. If you have a positive sale or purchase experience, let us know! And if something didn't go as planned, be honest and let us know. That history of good performance may well be the most valuable tool on this site. Maybe that can substitute for "years in the saddle"?? A noob with a proven track record here is far more likely to convince me to enter into a transaction with him than a long time member with no feedback.

It's hard to imagine the mentality that would spend so much time and effort on this. I couldn't be bothered to,put that much effort into an online campaign if I had genuinely been wronged. Life is too short and I have family and friends to spend my time with.

Just arrived in the mail from Watchfinder. Looks pretty good. What do you guys think of it on the brown strap I had lying around? I might order a dark brown oiled leather from gunny

This is not RWI and you can post QC pics here but " (after much reading around , knowing which is the best version of a particular model, what to look for, etc)" to quote jonathanw is best practice.

Yeah I can't believe that it's still going on Micky. Anyway, you're appreciated here

+1 for what Nanuq said. Please leave feedback as both a buyer and a seller. Once you've paid for an item leave 'funds sent' or similar on the thread. Once the funds have been received the seller should mark the thread as sold. Common sense also plays a part. Whilst there maybe several people stating 'PM sent', it's only when funds have been sent and received that the item should no longer be on sale. It is a bitch when 'good'/long standing members go rouge but it happens sometimes. Be vigilant, be careful and don't send gift payments unless you can afford to lose the money (not that that is the case here)!

Sounds familiar to my situation, related I wonder?
