"Also, my first paragraph was stating the difficulties for new members to buy rep watches."
There is no difficulty at all. Member arrives, looks for or gets pointed to the TD list. Chooses a TD. Chooses a watch. Pays the watch. Gets the watch. Walks away.
Exactly like that - itīs a fast, easy and clean procedure, exactly like going into a watch-shop, choosing a model and walking away.
The thing is newcomers later start with: Oh, but I bought version 2 and didnīt know there was a better version 5.1; I bought from maker A.) but the one I wanted is from maker B.) and to avoid this You have to read beforehand, just like with everything else, a photo-camera or a laptop for instance.
"Not every member can spend time reading/posting just to be able to buy a watch here."
Yes, that is exactly what he should do, if he wants to buy the best model of...., the finest movement with...., the most detailed...., itīs history, what versions there are....
for instance Your signature, You can just go and order a TC 16610 V6 and thatīs it, 2 or 3 months later You have it and You have a fine watch at a fair price.
When I have time and Iīm in the mood, Iīm happy to help out any fellow member with information if itīs available to me. This may be a different situation when just selling a watch with a loss, while having a normal life, other things and a job to do. With longstanding members You answer a few questions, get the payment, send the watch.
You have not dealt with noobs and fail to see that a majority of Noobs, in total insecurity, seek free consulting from longer standing members about everything, without doing any own research. Itīs a 100 posts bombardment like: is this the best model available? is the bracelet resizable? can You resize the bracelet for me? would You please open the caseback and take a shot so that other members can confirm it really is an Asian ETA; which dealer is it from? can You send me the link of the dealer? I looked on the dealers site and it is $220 cheaper - why? I wanted to pay with WU, but now I want to pay with Paypal; Can You pack it? Would You please unpack it and take another shot of the caseback? What are the flaws? What are the flaws compared to....? Is it exactly like gen? Why is it not like gen? Itīs too expensive if itīs not like gen; how do You set the time? Do You wind it? Can You tell me how to reset the Chronograph? Is the movement reliable? Why did You put a Clarks crystal in? I read the Sternkreuz is better; do You think a gen crystal would fit? Why canīt You tell me if it does fit? Do You know who could tell me if it fits? Is it waterproof? Do You have proof it is waterproof?
I e-mailed You one hour ago and You did not answer ........
I sent You 9 e-mails and You do not respond (in the last 90 minutes)
I donīt want it anymore, sell it to somebody else, Bye
and thatīs why it is not a very good idea to guide somebody through the first purchase when You are a seller, unless You have the time and patience for it or didnīt really want to sell it in the first place. We are just simple, easy, good-natured and helpful watch-enthusiasts who want to get on with their hobby, just leave that first-timer hassle to the TDīs, they rationally just answer in a single phrase when the questions get too many: go buy a gen!
