SYD, why don't you donate the proceeds of the sale to the forum and become a VIP??

You've been here a long time and have gotten alot of knowledge and support here bro.:sub4me:

I will bro. I do respect the rules of this forum with all due respect to idk. A comparison pic was just posted at the last minute when somebody admired the 42mm. I thought a 40mm beside it would really enhance the comparison.
My apologies.

The 1 day lag of the tag may or may not be nuked depending on the judgement of the mods, but the comparison pic was for the benefits of the buyer so I think that can be overlooked..

Personally I don't see any problem with posting the reference shot. The intent is obvious enough, the nuke was silly.

Having looked through the original sales post, I completely agree. The intent was very clear.
But ultimately rules is rules.

Sorry ThinkBachs. You need to be VIP to have the option of comparison shots in F/S threads.

If it was truly nuked due to a reference shot then that is rather amusing. I can understand there being rules for old dates, tags and selling multiple watches etc, but that rule just seems irrelevant.

SYD, no problem.:sub4me:

Look everyone, the mod did what he did cause thats the rules.

Think of a guy who posts a watch for sale but meanwhile shows five other watches just slightly off direct frame. Guys will do this to sell mutliple watches in one listing (I do Not think that was the intention here, but its not my call) back door dealers will do this to sell many watches without following the rules (I do Not think the poster was trying to do this) we clearly don't want unapproved dealers selling this way.

The poster made a mistake with his pics, the mod overlooked it and let it slide. Then the poster made another mistake and added another pic (not allowed by the rules), the mod stepped in and did his job.

The poster was Not banned. The sale was taken down and I believe the poster can still sell his watch. So really no big deal.

Before I say too much. You should know, I just read the first post but I am somewhat familiar with the case as we have a staff posting area which we can review sales and sellers.


Syd, is this a formal complaint or is this a grievance?

What outcome do you want to see out of this?

Before you answer read this please.

Selling is a privilege here. The rules are set by staff but there are always different situations that may/may not fall in a grey area or a misinterpretation might be made.

It's your turf but we own the sandbox and you are not the one holding whistle. ;)

Continue, I am listening.

IDK did his job accordingly by the rules. I may have stepped over the line, by posting a comparison picture. My only intention was to bring the 42mm Sub into perspective when posed along side the 40mm Sub. It was for the buyer's benefit to clearly see the difference that could help him decide. I was in no way trying to deceive RWI by trying to manipulate things to sell more watches.
But like you said, I am just playing in your sandbox and not holding the whistle, and I respect that.
Thank you for giving us the privilege in selling our watches.

Next time, just send it via PM or like others suggest, become VIP. ;)

We made this option only available to VIP's. How hard is it to understand?

Same thing for phone apps. The free ones only do so much. If you want all the goodies, upgrade ;)
