If I am hoping to get unbiased feedback, I ask my question, and then sit back and read the answers, without attempting to steer the conversation or to inhibit responses that might be counter to my own opinions. If I disagree with an comment, I can just ignore it in making my decision.

If I couldn't tolerate a range of responses, or I didn't want to publicize a watch for sale, there is always the option of approaching people privately, or paying a consultant for an expert opinion.

Well said.

There are plenty of members who behave / or think like OP which is some notion that a posting is "proprietary". Please...
