This forum is for BUYING, SELLING and TRADING only--not for discussing watches. Please limit postings to specific ads for buying, selling or trading watches, parts or accessories that that match at least one of the following categories:

Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings.

Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]

Re: FS: Rolex Explorer II ref. 16570

I am sorry if you are annoyed by my presence. Just to be clear I was only accusing those that seemed suspicious (yes, 3 at first glance seemed to follow the format but the dealers are exactly the people the scammers were copying their listings from). Perhaps you haven't looked back to see just how many have been scams and that a few other members were very close to "donating" their money to them.

Perhaps you should ask them if they appreciate all of the information that I have posted? I haven't seen anyone else post all of the details of the scammers they have dealt with. Is it shame? Can the others in the past not own up to their own naivety? This is not an innocent forum anymore filled with only people that can be trusted, I'm sorry if you don't like this or feel bad about. It's not my fault and to be honest so what?? I asked couple people to respond to their listing, can they not be bothered to provide more information on a multi-thousand dollar non-essential luxury item purchase? Heaven forbid!

Like I said before, I'm done. You guys works this out. Daniel, I'm waiting tomhear your solution for all of this instead of just your displeasure from my comments.
