Gerald made a good point. I think exceptional watches should be excluded from the normal rule. I find it very entertaining following a live auction that might set a new record for a desirable Seiko. OK but where do you draw the line and how is that fair to the high rollers? Just my opinion. Is not being apprised of an auction until it is over a hardship? We could make a rule “once a watch passes X dollars we can post a live link” but I say it’s wrong because some members here could still be in play. They don’t want their grail to be unnecessarily tipped off to another bidder. But that”s just my opinion. And until then it’s the rule, Ruke #6: 6) Spamming, trolling, advertising / self-promotion, links to live auctions and sales sites are prohibited. I would draw the line for Seikos that only appear for sale in a blue moon. I will make the following point to support this statement. A while back i posted the auction for the 5718 that Estrickland ended up getting. Quite a few members enjoyed that one.

I'm pretty much out of the watch acquisition game, so you can take this for what it's costing you. The way I see it, no links to live auctions means NO links to live auctions. If you want to or an auction, what does it matter if we wait a few days to see them?

Completely agree, even though I’m quick to click on the links to see what magical piece of horology is out of my price range this time. One rule for all auctions. Unless it’s one of mine, then you can link it all you like to start a bidding war!
