I sincerely apologized.

I started a thread this morning. Not sure What I said or did not said, but a few members were not happy. My thread was closed before I could response. Please accept my sincere apology. Please point out what I did wrong so I wont do it again.

Regards, John

You told a story about someone calling your watch fake, then told him (in so many words) that it was fake. Then posted on here asking what we think about your watch that you never said was authentic or not.

When you make a post like that you need to CLEARLY state that the watch in question is original. From the way you worded your original post and the way you evaded the subsequent questions, it sounded like you had a fake.

I can make it simpler for you guys.

Don't discuss fakes on the Forum.

There is a watchout sub-forum available.

You appeared to be toying with the other members with the "about my watch. is it fake? The funny thing is I start to believe him" stuff.

The thread was closed before you were torn a new one.

I could be wrong but it seems like only 20 or so minuets passed between your last post and the time it was closed That should be enough time to respond shouldn't it?

Hmmm... I read the original post and it seemed like he was just saying that it was fake to get the conversation over with since he was the center of attention.

So, to the OP...is it a fake?

Thanks members for your inputs. I found out I broke the 5th rule in TRF. Again, I am here to offer sincere apology for my wrong doing. I felt such an idiot. I did not want to reopen the subject. Case closed. Lets move on.

Hey John, it's great that you've apologized...but others have asked you if your timepiece is authentic. You know that if it goes unanswered you'll have a stigma.

Of course this my preception and 2 cents.

Agreed Al.!
It appears we will not get the answer to the question that has been asked so many times...
Real or fake, this thread, just like the last is going in circles!!
