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...]

Re: FS: Hamilton Fontainebleau Chrono-matic

Why is it so bad?
It is just my opinion!

: I normally keep my mouth shut but man, your comments are just plain
: wrong!! Your comments so far have no merit nor are necessary. If
: you have nothing positive to say or a question related to the
: actual product because you are interested in purchasing it, then
: keep your comments to yourself. Feel free to debate with me, but
: tell me your qualifications that makes you an expert for pricing
: or design? Have you designed or built a watch yourself? Do you
: have a doctorate in horology? Do you have training in
: horological appraisals? You are welcome to share with us your
: qualifications and some data to backup your thoughts, so we all
: know why your comments have any merit or value!

: Your comments on various posts about things being expensive, or
: ugly or whatever it may be, are just simply dumb. So I suggest
: you take a back seat, enjoy the posts, and have fun making
: comments either to yourself or your own group of friends; or
: wait for a post on a discussion forum to share your OPINION, but
: this is a SALES forum, and does not require your
: "expert" critique.
