What's most annoying?

We all have our pet peeves, especially about a hobby we are so passionate about and even more so on the internets. Actually any of the questionable offenses listed lead me to immediately block someone...

Asking a question that would have been easier to Google

Asking "is this watch real or a fake?"

The 981st poll asking the same of five questions

The 3,748th post asking "is Invicta a good brand?"

Are redundant/repetitive polls dumbing down/detracting from WatchCrunch?

Same poll, just minutes apart. Not counting the hundreds of other polls asking the same question. Are redundant/repetitive polls dumbing down/detracting from WatchCrunch? (See example below...)

Yes, impose pause before new members can post polls.

Yes, limit number of polls member can post in a week.

Redundancy is the spice of life. You are an old grump!

Institute penalty for redundant polls. RULES!!!!!

Who makes the best French fries?

Everyone knows, I like French fries. If you don't like fries, you are dead to me, have no tastes, are an epicurean disenfranchised low-life sort who does not deserve to eat solid food, etc...

McDonald's, of course

Chic-fil-A, what Jesus would choose

Local burger joint-name the place

I hate French fries. I hate life. Leave me alone

commented on Which Tudor Master Chronometer? · 9 hrs ago

The 41mm BB wears huge. Flat case, flat lugs and is a brick on the wrist. Owned both the blue and the gilt/red when they came out.

Get a 58. You can thank me later.

commented on Which would you choose, Sinn 104 or Squale 1521? I know that one is a pilot's watch and the other a diver's watch. But both appeal to me. And for now, only one of the two is an option. · 10 hrs ago

Have owned five Sinn models. My kids got three, I sold the 356 because auto chrono upkeep is too costly. Bought another 556 for myself. The 556 is the gold standard GADA comparison for under $2K.

Owned one single Squale model. Root Beer diver. Tried it on, flipped it. The single most overhyped homage watch out there. They are selling $500 watches for $1500. Steinhart makes better homages for significantly less money.

Not even a close comparison.

Fight me.

C. 36mm of charcoal black, unscratchable goodness.

And for less than either of the above.

Look. The same poll. Again.

I like French fries.

Congrats @rompec

For this week's theme, I have nothing. Rainy weekend and may try to get a shot. Or may stay camped out binging Netflix.

This Traska and my Sinn 556 I.B. have become my two standards to measure any further GADA/Sports watches against.

If a potential candidate cannot outdo those two, at two significantly different price points, they aren't worth buying.

Is badge whoring ruining your WC buzz?

I love the community here at WC with one exception. Badge whoring. Surely I am not alone in hoping admin will come up with some restrictions to limit ability to post polls for new users, as the poll b...

Yes, limit posting for new users!

No, I enjoy the same polls reposted every two days

I like French fries.

Fix this, now!

What's the one watch you bought that you choose as your only watch?

My current collection, sans gifts, has all been purchased since June, 2023. Woke up this AM and was hit, once again, with the thought of selling them all off except one. Of those I have paid for, what...

Current setup/SOTC 2024

Considering the price of these winders on Amazon, they are quiet and get the job done. Only two more pre-orders inbound for 2024. Saving for my "Big 3...
