A marketplace for chronographs, dive watches and other tool-type wristwatches and timepieces

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...]

In Response To: Re: Sadly it all helps ()

I get the sense that you don't work in the IT field. Your AOL address is a pretty strong indicator, no offense intended. IP addresses are no more permanent than email addresses. Any savvy user will know how to obtain a new address. The idea that the problem can be eradicated on the back end only leads to two things, a false sense of protection and an uneducated user base who believe they can rely on technology to replace good judgement and common sense. I am also a believer in the theory that the most elegant solution is the least complicated one. Yours appears to be fairly complex. I'm sure the moderator of this board does not want to spend his existence playing policeman on the sales forum. So far, not one tagged picture has been produced when requested. This would seem to contradict your claim about the ease of producing them. Justin is taking his own time and doing no harm to anyone except rip-off artists. What could be simpler than that?
