I again have been banned again


After some thought, who cares. it was a mistake to think anyone would find the story amusing.

EDIT: Reading comprehension FAIL on my part.

People there are constantly posting about Marina Militares... not to mention that 75% of all Invictas and Stuhrling Originals are replicas... the only brand on the Shop even remotely original in any way is Android.

P.S. You *DO* realize that by posting specifics about your temporary ban here, you may have just made it permanent, right?

Umm.....he's referring to WUS, not WG.

One track mind?

Oops... missed that. Everytime someone comes here wailing about being banned, it's always about WG, so I just assumed without reading further.

Carry on...

Not wailing, rejoicing actually that a forum exists like this.
Was a general comment ( on daily posts, not in the forum per se) on why a HQ watch is not cheap to maintain. If you want to “look good” on the cheap buy a replica/invicta and toss it or sell it on the forum when it needs work and say no papers, no records but runs fine.
Like they do anyway. I inflamed the mod not the poster/poster. Who I think was slowpoh anyway.

I can take it

Ridiculous.

I had a great time. Unfortunately it was not today

Based on their rules, I'm not surprised they banned you. Nevertheless, what you say does make a certain amount of sense. I've been reading a lot on the replica watch forums. Some of the guys that are into replicas know more about watches than most of the people that buy the "real thing".

SO, Invicta, and others are look-alikes, or knock-offs, not replicas. I personally have never gotten a replica, but I do own a few knock-offs.

Your argument reminds me of an old Chrysler LeBaron Convertible ad on TV. The car and a Mercedes Benz 500 SL are show driving down the Pacific highway in California. Both cars look fantastic, and quite similar. They pull up to a scenic look-out. The Chrysler owner opens the trunk of his car which is full of money. The voice over says.

"The new Chrysler LeBaron Convertible. Think of it as a Mercedes Benz with $50,000 in the trunk."

the only brand on the Shop even remotely original in any way is Android.

I love the Androids I own and the customer service is second to none... but even Wing has had his share of copies.... Alien watch... bullet watch and some offset thing come to mind.

I made mention that when I owned a Mercedes, it cost more on that car to change the oil than the Ford. 5 times more and an appointment. If a person, ( I did not go into the forum of that watch brand ) wants a HQ product but then decides it is far too expensive to service it then buy the chevy. Problem was not the logic, it was ONLY because I used the word “replica” in my comments as an explanation. And now the so called mod has piled on extra violations for not posting a price on an ad. I have no ads running. I am really pissing this guy off

As someone reading this from the outside, I'm finding this entire thread incomprehensible.

Because you don’t know the weirdness I have experienced

Being banned for just writing the word replica. Not to buy one or in favor of it, just the word in a comment regarding watch maintenance. Now I have to explain this. Fuck. Replica, replica fuck.
Explains why email and message boards are a complete fucking waste of time to

I got suspended for recommending someone search for 'watchuseek' on Youtube (the mods don't like what comes up).

Its hilarious really :-)

I left Watch Talk Forums because the sanctimonious asshole John B. Holbrook II edited "Damn" out of the title of "Damn Yankees," a hit Broadway play and movie, because it offended his Christian sensibilities.
Of course, this fucking hypocrite had no compunctions insisting Catholics were not Christians and other crap. He makes Rick Santorum look like a Liberal.
Point is, forum mods and owners who have little going on in their real lives become All Powerful Beings on the internet to compensate.
