Okay, the omega rolex site has been linked on this forum at the top there. I've filled it up with a decent amount of info, but I'll be adding lots more. I just don't know how much I should put into it. Would a forum be a bad idea?

Anyone got a resource I can use for reference to add more stuff? Photos? Anything would be great :)

Not sure about the idea of another forum...this is of course an entirely personal, and probably selfish, idea for my part :wink:

Well selfishly, while my interest in watches in general is probably higher than the average member of the public, my interest in brands other than Breitling is significantly less.

More generally, I would be concerned that the non brand specific elements of the site would result in duplication with things like the general and off topic sections here. Also, and I hope that this doesn't sound like I'm being superior, the Omega and Rolex crowd is a generally bigger group of people and it may be harder to maintain the atmosphere that we have here. Our Panerai loving friends know what I mean!

Finally, there are more options for the Omega and Rolex crowd. Breitlingsource filled a need not adequately filled by TZ or WUS, the same gap is not so obvious for the other brands.

Just my 0.02

It would be based on traffic.

I don't know what type of traffic you have on that site, but this forum doesn't have an abundance of daily posts.

That site is quite slow, it is similar to where this site was when I started it. But I didn't think a forum over there would take anything away from here.. just a different crowd, but I'm definately leaning against a forum. Just figured, it couldn't hurt.. either it makes it, or it doesnt.
