TZ-UK

[Bravo73]

I seem to recognise a few usernames that frequent both the AM PH forum and TZ-UK.

A recent joiner seems to be kicking up bit of fuss with his quest for the mythical land of the 'Sales Corner'. Hmmm, I wonder who it might be...

whats tz-uk.......sounds like some sort of terrorist group....

I joined tz-uk when I wanted to buy a Rolex Submariner, was very dissapointed when I found out I had to make ots of comments to be able to access the classifieds. Ended up buying new so worked out OK in the end.

Exactly what happened to me. So I never bothered going on it since.

Just a bit stunned that I have to wait SIX MONTHS to be able to sell a watch on there!!

Ah well, their forum, their rules. It's a great place so far, lots going on; a proper geekfest!

I do occasionally pop in, but usually its when Im looking to buy or sell something...I guess exactly what the rules are to prevent, but Ive been on there long enough now

[petecowie]

so for anyone thinking that at some point in the future they are going to be in the market for a nice watch, join now....

You're not wrong about the geeks. Even more than on here!

There is one way to circumvent the SC rules (sort of): list your 'FOR SALE' watches in your signature. Then any prospective purchaser can get in touch via PM. You do, however, run the risk of upsetting the site owner/overlord, Eddie Platts. You might then get your account zapped, otherwise known as the 'glitch'.

Oh, I first read about your escapades in the 'Bear Pit'. I'm not sure that you will have access to that section yet (it's also time/post count dependent, I think). That's were the real 'fun' goes on.

I have been on there for 3 or 4 years (flyerboy) and I must say there are a lot of knowledgeable members on there. A few "interesting" characters but on the whole a great forum with some genuine WISs (Watch Idiot Savants) ready to help. I believe the the Sales Corner rules were introduced to try an encourage active participation in the forum and also to discourage dealers/traders/chancers. Worth joining if you have an interest in horology.

Cheers, Gerry

before I put it up on there I have for sale shortly an IWC Spitfire chrono 3706 (39mm model) on steel bracelet, all boxed with papers, bought new by me in 2006 ...will be well under market rate because it has a ding on the case from working on the car

I've been on TZ for many years and have traded many watches there. Personally I prefer the PuristS and have organised a couple of get-togethers with people coming from all over the world to attend. I just prefer the atmosphere on PuristS.
