Hello Ling

I'm not sure why you conclude that I am beating around the bush.  I have stated quite clearly the posting of brands here seems inconsistent to me and I'm trying to better understand how the determination is made.

My impression was that to be considered for posting here, the "whole package" would need to be of very high quality, and the watches that Jocke posted don't fit that description in my opinion.  Counter that with what Sarapaneva does, and it does not make sense to me why one is here and the other is not.  As I have said previously, I have nothing invested either way in these 2 brands and only used them as recent examples that have been posted.  I'm just trying to understand the decisions being made.  If people here see this as some sort of attack, then they are mistaken - I don't care about it enough to attack anyone over it to be honest.

MTF has posted some "rules" that are followed that may explain some things, and in particular 2 things in his posts in this thread I didn't know before have come out in the open.  One is that brands may request their watches are posted in a specific area.  The other is that it appears that if one portion of making a watch is very "artistic" in nature it makes that okay to post a watch here, even if the movement is a run of the mill item.

Since you used the word "alleged" I take it that you don't see any inconsistency, and if so you are entitled to that view.  I don't really agree, but I am but one voice here.

Regards, Al
