Having said that, the 'threading' of posts can sometimes be hard to follow, especially on a long technical discussion

: I presume you mean 'watch related' Jeff?

: Anyway, I'll kick off..

: What discussion forums do you visit regularly?
: I regularly spend time over at
: http://www.tz-uk.com/forum/index.php .
: I find it a nice relaxed forum, where I can educate myself on other
: watch brands etc. There is no heavy moderation over there, and
: there is a nice mix of people, new & vintage watch lovers.
: It's mainly UK based from what I can tell. I know a few of us
: 'OTD'ers hang out over there too.
: I also check out the Cal. 11 website Facebook feed to see what's
: happening, get the latest on what David is reporting on over on
: Cal. 11.

: Apart from there and here, that's about it really.

: Which discussion forums that you visit are "in"
: (getting more of your attention) and which ones are
: "out" (don't visit as often as you used to)?
: I used to post over at WUS, but it's 'too big' for me, a bit edgy,
: and if you say the wrong thing it can cause waves. A bit over
: moderated IMHO.

: Which social media do you use, relating to collecting vintage
: watches? Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, or others?
: Also check out our 'Vintage Heuer' FlickR page. For nice watch
: photography, I also check out
: http://www.flickriver.com/groups/1161362@N22/pool/interesting/
: which is basically a FlickR 'pooling' site for image searching.

: Which of these social media are "in" (getting more of
: your attention) and which ones are "out" (don't use
: them as often as you used to)?
: I'm not really into the Twitter, Facebook etc, I guess I'm old
: school.

: Which are you favorite blogs, on the subject of vintage
: watches?
: Whatever I can find really. Not a regular reader of many.

: Anything else that you might want to share with the
: community?
: Yes.. what I like about OTD is that it is proper old school. I used
: to think, "Why doesn't Jeff upgrade the forum to a regular
: 'normal' looking forum", where you can track posts easier,
: edit topics etc etc. But I think the 'old school' forum is part
: of the charm. There is no 'post number chasing', no inane posts,
: posts are considered and well written/executed. I like the way
: you 'know' the regulars, not be constant posting, but my name,
: by the quality of their posts. (Having said that, the
: 'threading' of posts can sometimes be hard to follow, especially
: on a long technical discussion).
: In other terms, it keeps the forum concentrated, to those who
: really want to discuss Heuers. On the other hand, I do like some
: of the banter that goes on. Like the post recently where someone
: (forgive me I forget) posted a photo of a drawing his daughter
: had done. I love the picks people post of where they are
: Franchesco, David etc.

: Hope that helps in some way!
