This forum is for BUYING, SELLING and TRADING only--not for discussing watches. Please limit postings to specific ads for buying, selling or trading watches, parts or accessories that that match at least one of the following categories:

Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings.

Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]

You are correct that discussion of watches, particularly Omega watches, should take place at Zowie, and we welcome your excellent photos and descriptions there. Your descriptions and histories of the watches is most welcome.

However, without prior experience with you and your significant collection, the tone and style of your original post appeared to be one of a well documented sales listing and in violation of our rule against commercial solicitation in our discussion forums ("No "For Sale", "Want to Buy" or other commercial messages; these messages belong on our ChronoTrader Sales Forum."). A number of our posters had the same impression and contacted me publicly and privately to obtain your contact information.

As I misunderstood your intent, I seek to correct my error and apologize for misunderstanding. The original post on Zowie has been restored, and we look forward to more of your comments and participation at Zowie regarding Omega and other watches. Note we have a long tradition of discussing other (non-Heuer) brands of watches on the forum as well.

Welcome to our family
