My view is that we should encourage the QC pics - if you don't want to look then don't but it is incredibly helpful for noobs. This forum relies on patronage and if we can encourage others to become VIP Members then all to the good.
This is considered the friendliest of the forums so let's show that. I have no expertise with watches and am grateful for the support of a number of people on the forum.
