Most answers can be found below.

Peter, now you've gone and spoiled all the fun. Now all the newbies will go to those threads and all the repetition will be lost. Our overall post count will now see a significant drop off and we'll have far fewer new threads to hijack.

however, i have more recently seen a repetition of threads... in part due to an influx of new members (welcome by the way).

so my question to my fellow members is... which thread makes you yawn? moan? or groan?? (jj that is not groan in pleasure on sight of a sheep wearing a platty! lol)

some of the threads i yawn at are...

how do i clean my watch?
oh god i have a scratch!
i can only get 5% discount!
can i get it wet?
its 0.04 secs a month too slow...
i dont wear my watch everyday, why does it stop?
if i buy said watch, will it make me rich?
is my gmtII with the 3186 movement rarer/better?

etc etc you get the picture...

yes, i do understand that i dont need to read every thread...


on a constructive note maybe there should be a sticky on most common threads, or on how to use the search facility...

ps i hope i havent offended anyone in any way, shape or form.

I find the forum interesting too. When I see a contribution to a thread I have been tracking, I'll check it out. How disappointing when it turns out to be a reply such as "X2" (with nothing else).

with all of the self professed geniuses on this forum I am sure we can come up with some topics that will rock our socks off (so to speak)

You've got a good idea, but I think it could be better. You send your watch to me so that I can take it apart.

What was wring with my Entry Level post?
It posed a valid question.
Slightly better than can I wear my watch if it rains etc etc.

[harvey]

this thread needs to be closed down... getting too repetitive lol

[Timber Loftis]

Two ones I'll note:

1. This crap thread.

2. Wristshot ___day and/or What You Wearing ____day.
(i.e. drag out your tired old pics we've all seen before and blow a little bandwidth on them, please)

Being a new guy around here I'd better watch what questions I post in the future! LOL.

[astcell]

Any thread positing guns.

[Prince]

What gun do you accidently shoot yourself with while wearing your Leopard Daytona?

What part, Martin? The "shooting yourself" or the "Leopard Daytona"?

You crack me up again Jocke

[entropydave]

...will the plating rub off my white gold Rolex?

That grinds my gears... who'd spend all those $$$ on a WG watch and not know what it is made of?

Maybe it was because of the Leopard Daytona :rofl :

And the constant questions about doing mundane things can get old, like "Can I wear my Rolex while...
A. Walking on a sunny day
B. Telling time
C. Washing my hands
D. Watching television?"

Those make me laugh. Which is a good thing, really.

Post counter race on the forum is annoying, not the newbies.

I don't see how you can possibly do item B, Jamie!

And laughing IS a good thing!

It's turning into "I got a DSSD!!" or "I got a Milgauss GV!!"
