Before you ask, the best Submariner out of the box right now is the Rolex Submariner ARF 904L A2836. Keep calm and carry on DJ'ing (or whatever you were doing)

But he won't know where to buy it from, don't forget to lead him to the trusted dealer section with a gummy bear trail.

Funny enough, I deleted the last line before posting, and it was the link to the website of my regular TD, lol. I thought it wouldn't be fair to mention just one TD (^_^ )

With all due respect Rawbe. You also had to start somewhere I've only just come across RWI. I have been a member of rwg for over 8 years

60Steps With all due respect, I started by reading for years before I even made an account, because the information is even available to guests. I did not start by making a sales thread that had to be nuked by mods because I can't read the forum rules. I'm simply telling you why those 'noobs that PM'd you' probably went silent, don't blame the invasion, that was definitely your own doing .. or perhaps nobody ever contacted you at all and you just wanted something to post in order to fit in and get your post count up so you can list your item once again. Either way the community keeps an eye out for these types of scenarios. Cheers.

I really don't need to try and fit in. If there is a way of checking have a look and see who contacted me. What is wrong in posting. Isnt that what you have to do to get your post count up. Your jumping to conclusions . I'm not new to replicas and have bought from TD before. You have moderators to review content and rectify Not to insult them down.. ........

School holidays + Uni holidays + Christmas Cash = Douchebaggedon

On another line, I have been reading some old posts (talking about pre 2015 or more) and I see really cool posts, educated opinions, healthy discussion, etc. Most of these have people with more than 3000 posts or so, actually. But none of these users are around anymore, and instead we have a whole legion of people with no avatar and lazy names posting crap all around. What happened? How do we go back to that?

I'm sure there must be some sort of filter we can put in place to block lazy kiddos that just want to find the best sub and then harass all sellers until they get one. They bring nothing to the table, and ultimately they just erode the trust we all have in m2m, which is a cornerstone of this hobby.

Or we can go for Tucker 's advice. I quite like the idea.

We were quite the erudite bunch back then! Not sure what happened. Probably all those Smart Phones, Facegram and Instabooks. :)

Rawbe Says the guy who plays with radio controlled cars ... You come across as a complete tool mate, why don't you wind your neck in a bit and lighten up.

You're on a watch hobby forum talking shit about another hobby? I have cars running 225 km/h that I've personally done all of the modifications for, pinion/spur ratios, etc. That's 1:10 scale on road electric .. about 80 km/h short of the current world land speed record, if you classify that as "playing with radio controlled cars" perhaps we are all on here just "playing with mechanical replicas". Have you ever accomplished anything, let alone contributed anything to any forum? Or do you just come here to leech, talk shit, post a NUKED sales thread? You're in the wrong place. Nobody here likes noobs like you that come in with these terrible attitudes and expect everything to revolve around them. Read the forum rules, learn something, and contribute, maybe then you will fit in here.

Just goes to show how real the noob invasion is when the noobs are in the thread getting agitated and attacking older members ..

Yeah, I use to do the same thing with my actual cars. But this way when shit hits the fan at least I'm not in the car LOL. I can stand on the sidelines and watch my $2,000 full carbon car blow up, then figure out what went wrong and build it again.

It's you that has the attitude, I've looked at your posts. I don't much like bullys and you're the worst kind, an internet bully. All done from the relative safety of behind the computer keyboard in your mommy's basement, because you wouldn't have the balls to say the things you write face to face. I've never created any sales threads, let alone have one nuked and I've never leeched or asked anything from anyone here, so don't write shite about me you chump. I worked offshore for nearly 30 years where clowns like you were dealt with swiftly. Now, run along and play nicely with your (fast) radio controlled cars ...
