Operator of the TZ-UK Forum says (in e-mail and on TZ-UK forum) that I was not banned.

My privileges seem to have been restored.

: As Stewart brought to our attention in his posting --
: http://www.chronocentric.com/forums/heuer/index.cgi?page=1;md=read;id=63845
: -- there is a debate raging on the TZ-UK discussion forum,
: regarding the authenticity of a Baylor watch like the one shown
: below. Here's a link to the thread --
: http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?273357-Funny-how-fashions-change

: This watch had been acquired by the gentleman who owns and operates
: the forum, and he and several others are defending the
: authenticity of the watch, against some skepticism from Stewart
: and from me.

: To make a long story short: Jack Heuer confirmed to me, by e-mail
: (a) that Heuer ceased producing the private-label Baylor
: watches, in either 1958 or 1959, and (b) that he had no
: recollection of this particular model of watch. I posted this
: information, along with my suggestion that the watch was not
: made by Heuer, as it was produced well after 1959. Within
: minutes I was blocked from viewing any of the TZ-UK forums and
: banned from posting any messages. Soon after that, I received an
: additional confirmation, from our best expert here in the US of
: A (who was with Heuer from 1962 to 2002), that this watch is a
: fake. Of course, the operator of the forum and his buddies
: continue to post messages claiming that the watch is real, and
: challenging my information, while blocking me from even viewing
: it. [How many times will we hear the suggestion, "They
: can't prove that it's a fake."]

: Of course, I have no idea whether or not the owner of this watch
: (operator of the forum) actually believes that this watch is
: real. One thing that I am sure of: blocking people who do
: research and provide accurate information makes a mockery out of
: the term "discussion forum".

: So I am signing off on the discussion of this watch; it's more fun
: to discuss the real Heuers!! Indeed, the more I visit other
: places, the better I like it here on Chronocentric /
: ChronoTrader.
