David, Glad you came over.....things had been going south there for a while. try to put the craziness behind you and realize that you're among friends again.
As to the Ban Hammer swinging....well, it got me as well...they didn't even have the courtesy to inform me that I was banned. They just did it.
I'd like to think that they did me a favor. the change has literally beathed new life into the hobby for me.

Shawn BOTH you and David got banned at the SCWF? Was this due to the recent fiasco over Tigers BS 6 long page thread?? IF that's the case then there must have been a lot of others who were banned that we dont know about! Were your bans the 7 day ban or permanent? |

Rene,
Yup, it was due to the 6 pager thread over there. Apparently, someone didn't like being called out on a lie.
I have no idea how long the ban period is nor do I really care. The plain fact is that they swung the hammer with no warning and out of retaliation. My only notice was my inability to post on threads.....no pm, no email just friggin cut me off after the fact......real gentlemen in my book.
anyways, the last few days have done so much for me in the way of revitalizing the hobby.
It's fun again and I even celebrated the occasion by snatching an unmolested 6309-7049 off the bay this evening.
It's the first step in rebuilding my collection and signifies a new beginning for me. I'm a WIS, I just can't believe I let the garbage over there frustrate me so much that I actually off gassed my entire collection.
Happy days are here again my friends
Shawn

Thanks Tim, the 6309 isn't close to being perfect .....but it's a one owner piece which means I'll be the first to crack the case open and service the ole girl. The original dial & hands appear clean with a soft patina. The case will need a clean up, crystal and gasket set at a minimum. The rough spot on this one is the insert.....really faded and in poor shape. So I'll be hunting for a better condition insert in the weeks - months ahead. The great news....the watch hails from March '79 and is a German market version. .....I've owned dozens of 704x divers over the years but never a German market specimen. Heres a link to the ended auction......it wasn't the cheapest one that I've ever bought, but a great starting point with a little elbow grease www.ebay.com/itm/121120916542?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649best shawn |

The dial and hands look great, love the creamy patina. I also love the German day wheel |

I can't profess to be entirely up to speed with everything, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but it appeared to me that the 'admin' guy came in over the top of all the other mods and threw down some bans which did two things: finished the whole debate on SCWF and culled people.
I seriously doubt that some of you would have been banned but for that intervention, as it would have most likely, like all these squabbles do, worn itself out.
Anyway live and let live...

I'm really sorry to hear that, life sure is a bitch at times & the bad sooo often happens to the good.
You've plenty of buddies here though who'll help you through the bad times. Hopefully, being banned might be a blessing in disguise, I'm sure you won't have to listen to any crap here.
Keep your chin up mate

I didn't really visit the OT section on SCWF so I have no idea what happened. I'd bet it was some petty BS that got you banned.
Don't worry about it man . . . . you're among friends here.
I'm really sorry to hear about your tough times and I'll pray that you get through them. Have faith!

I seriously doubt that some of you would have been banned but for that intervention, as it would have most likely, like all these squabbles do, worn itself out. I tend to agree with that assessment. It appears that "Admin" was putting on a "machismo" demonstration, backing his "no mod will be insulted" dictum. (I took an extra dose of Fukitol at that time.) |

The way I see it, Admin sucked the life blood out of the forum...many key,contributing members were treated like kids behaving badly, with him playing the role of an allmighty principal.
