I also hope Wilddyan can see this for what it was and not as an insult to his integrity. Should he continue to positively contribute to this community, he'll surely be extended the same courtesy someday. :)
Absolutely, and thank you. I was concerned that someone else was using Dan's photos, so I of course checked the sales listings first, and when I raised the fact that I knew the watch, the photos and the owner, it was first ignored and then met with a challenging tone. Not exactly conducive to receiving more helpful comments about watches which a new member is requesting in multiple threads.

Anyway, no harm done and good luck to the OP finding "a nice beaten up but still good condition Snowflake"

The real story hear is TRF is a community that watches out for each other. Can't tell you what it meant to me to wake up to a PM from Vincent65 making sure I [or anyone else] wasn't being taken. That kind of support and due diligence from friends across the globe is truly heartwarming.
I'm honored, blessed, and humbled to have such a great [earth sized] community watching my back.

I didn't say anything because was a private conversation and to be honest I shouldn't have put the pictures up. After I had Dan mentioned keeping parts of the conversation private, so decided to keep whole thing private.

Apologises Dan, I appreciate all the help you've give me.

And after all that no one said if $3.6k was decent for the 1st one (Not Dan's)...

Well, it should have been obvious to you why I was 'so concerned' and you chose to ignore the fact that I had identified the watch. Dan is a friend of mine and it was not apparent that his watch was for sale, so I merely raised the question. I was also mindful that you may be being scammed by someone who had used Dan's photos to take your money. All you had to do was say you had been talking to DP about it, so when you asked the reason for my concern I made that comment, because it appeared that you were avoiding the issue.

You took it out of the 'private conversation' realm when you posted Dan's own pictures of his watch up on a public forum asking for comments and 'advise'.

My advice is keep private things private and public things public.

Edit: PM sent to DP

Thought those pictures looked familiar. Love that watch.
This whole post is a little odd.
