Patek Philippe

Here are the rules: 1. Break the rules you get banned- no warning ⚠️ I want quality of discussion not quantity E.g. A blanket statement, no fact or evidence or statistics I gave the OP a chance: www.watchprosite.com I produce facts, still waiting ...  

Hi Imran, I appreciate your deeply felt posts about Patek and your desire for quality discourse about PP. Certainly, having challenging (yet civil) conversations is stimulating and it can be good to challenge quick opinions. But, please don't be so quick ... 

Had it been a reasoned response with evidence and civil: no problem A statement that says Such bad finishing- quantify it Or quoting high price: when the Patek is cheaper That’s the problem Ive put up with it for too long. So extreme measures needed Opini... 

This is a "luxury hobby" for want of a better word. Not a visit to the Doctor or some political crisis debate. Not sure such heavy handedness is really required.

All Breguet is , is a tarted up cheap lemania Panerai movement are crap they keep breaking down Vacheron overseas is a Royal oak wannabe that doesn’t sell All Richard mille are ugly overpriced crap for rich people with too much money Royal Oak offshore is... 

Imagine you get banned for sharing opinions .

it is always sad to have to announce such measures. It is so amazing how negative people can be. I never understood why people react on post in a negative way. I think it is often better to not comment, why wanting to hurt people or brands. I think the ma... 

Initial. You ask facts. However, the facts cannot always be documented. If you have visited watch factories, you know that only a few are open as (Piaget, Omega, Ulysse Nardin) and allow you to photograph the process of making watches. For example (AP, VC... 

first as a keen historian I need to make you a humble apology Stalin was not an appropriate avatar to put up, the point I was trying to make although valid didn’t reference to Stalin So I sincerely apologise The Iron Lady makes for a better avatar....she ... 

Without any doubt, the Patek Philippe forum is the most difficult to Moderate. I do not envy Miranda his responsibility to keep this forum civil and positive. Over the last 10 years on this forum, I have seen a lot of things on this forum. Patek Philippe ... 

Haters will always have something to say, Patek should take it as a compliment

Sadly its needed. Best Blomman

....it can be considered quite offensive to the party this right is exercised against. In our society- like in any civil dispute - It shud be the 'actions' which fall under the Rule of law and never the speech/expression/choice. Yet, we all are collective... 

And so long as people don’t confuse free speech with an opportunity to be rude/offensive, it’s fine. I also believe that Imran is making it clear that the forum won’t be a platform for Patek haters. I totally agree with him on this. It very quickly degene... 

...anyone who produces unsubstantial evidence or correct him/her if an ignorant statement is made but banning someone is above limits IMO as long as the discourse is still about watches. Now If one doesn't have time enuf to patrol such statements that is ... 

read the following statements All Breguet is , is a tarted up cheap lemania Panerai movement are crap they keep breaking down Vacheron overseas is a Royal oak wannabe that doesn’t sell All Richard mille are ugly overpriced crap for rich people with too mu... 

If I would have used your - at least for me - extremely inappropriate Stalin signature, would you have banned me immediately? I have been standing my whole life for respect and careful, attentive speech and handling. And freedom of opinion! Please, let th... 

That Stalin reference was disgusting. There is no place for that on any fourm. Tony

Stalin was not a good idea.

wrote two answers. These two posts and my reply (I answered that I would take my freedom as a small, humble member to observe, how fair, respectful and open-minded these rules will be handled) were deleted immediately. Strange, this whole thing. Doesn’t f... 

He is entitled to make that opinion

Then realized it is an old post so felt guilty about reigniting a controversial discussions. I must say i am very happy with the reactions of most posters here as they show huge civility and passion. Thank you also for the moderator and for admitting his ...
