Well you can see some groups formed in Facebook got hundreds of members within weeks with almost hourly or minutes posts and comments because of the very users friendly mobile platform.

We are on the phones almost all the time, so apps like tapatalk really bridge the gap. I had tapatalk installed like within months of the forum launch because this is the behavior, everybody is going Mobile First. Like banks, telco etc.

Noticed when I load tapatalk, it shows there's like 400 followers for SCS. That's so much more than our active posters.

While posts are declining, it's also because of our location. We are a small country, after a few meet ups or trades, people get into whatsapp groups too. Instant IM chat it's like the good old IRC days.

But the forum is here to stay. There's no other better place to lol for historical information and other knowledge.

Try searching for things on FB. It's always a spoon fed culture, where to buy ah ? What's the price ah ? Etc etc. Replies in comments and that useful info get buried.


Via a mobile device
"the forum is here to stay" - with massive respect, Roo. Will do my best things interesting. :)

Welcome back Bro SUPAN. Hoping you'll come around your 'amnesia' and remember your old username and password. But this will do for now. Cheers. Image Image Image

never stop learning. You'll only stop learning when you're dead. I think Plato said that.

I am very new to this forum. I think I really missed out a lot. God knows what took me so long to find this forum. Glad I did, though. The SCS watches that were put up on WRUW threads over the last few days looked hot! Too bad I have no chance to own a piece. Anyhow, hope that when there is another version, I will have the opportunity to own a piece of history.

On a separate note, are your watches on a winder or is that a watch box?
