not sure, what the point is to post that same watch again after 4 weeks with almost the same thread title.

Why don't you come up with something new or is your intention only to generate clicks and interest for your business and flog that watch later in the FS section here on the board?

I am typically a fan of PVD watches, but for some reason this one just doesnt look right. It looks cheap, imo. Maybe its just the picture?

I'm with you Bondtoys. Enough of the 'viral marketing BS'. This is a watch forum where we discuss watch topics. Another topic just to drive attention and traffic to Black-Out where the OP is clearly involved per his LinkedIn profile.

Who wants to start a pool on how quickly this will be in the FS section? I'll take 3-5 days

And my other threads are to draw attention to what? Gold and Vintage Rolexes?..... Can you even READ the word Black Out on the dial in this thread... if so your eyes are better then mine. And after all the "investigation" have I captivated you enough to get you buy a watch from me? GTFOH

TRF is NOT the place to sell cool customized watches, I'm not stupid. But I can sure generate a lot of hate here by just posting a picture of watch I'm wearing. Which is why I included the Poll... just to prove the prove that point.

Some of you are so hateful, negative and bitter. Like the Rolex company pays your mortgage... get a life.

I have seen some nice watches on DLC. The classic GMT looses its class when coated though. It is not nice imho.

Maybe a better pic would give a truer representation of the watch. Maybe one slightly further away to get the full effect of the strap/watch combi and one where the crystal isn't so "milky" in colour. It looks at odds with the black concept.

Juries still out for me.

Edit: When customising, would you also coat the crystal with ARC both sides?

Much better on the bracelet.

You need to loan it to Jocke so he can take some pics.

You're exactly right when you say that TRF is not the place to sell cool customized watches. However, is the perfect place to create 'buzz' and generate traffic to your websites and sell your clients' watches.

You have been quick at trying to build a reputation with a few vintage watch postings, the Hulk Sub, the WTB three Milgauss watches thread, etc. It's just part of your plot as you blog for a living.

Not trying to be hateful, just objective and smart. Just read my post on your other thread about the DSSD. I am in advertising and I know how the strings are pulled behind the scenes.

Just keep in mind you are not Ogilvy, Burnett or Bogusky!!!

I actually purchased one of those WTB Milgauss watches from a member here .... all in my plan. YES!

And, It would take digging very very far into google to find my websites as I have nothing posted here. So you are either not that smart or not in advertising. You just made how many members go straight to google? Glad to have you on the payroll.

It's funny that through all of this, I am one of the very few members that uses a real name and transparent profile. No hiding behind screen names.

Look me up, read about me, PM me, Facebook me, ASW me, Linkedin Me. Meet me at the IWJG show next week. I welcome the networking.

I welcome praise, objective criticism, and questions... but I've decided not to respond to any more blatantly negative posts from grumpsters
