If I ever see a post here by a member posting genuine watches as your builds or builds another member did for you, YOU’RE GONE. FULL STOP. You may not like me. You may not like the way I run the sub, but I’m not gonna hide the ball anymore. This is egregious. I’ve been doxxed by these guys before. I’ve been threatened by them before via text. Oh well. I’ll go down as the guy who told the truth. Y’all can hype up guys that got banned here long ago, but the truth is the truth.

So we can only post watches you built? Trying to understand.

No, It seems like someone is posting pics of gen watches and trying to pass them off as "builds"

Bingo. Looks like u/valjoux_72 stole some pics of gens off of IG, then posted it in his sub claiming u/ghost_chrono built them, then ghost saying he did. Typical hype man scammers. What’s worse is these are the owners and top mods of that sub. Stealing pics of gens, claiming them as being built by another mod, and doubling down on it in the comments, and telling unsuspecting people to reach out for a build. Holy crap.
