Hi Erik,
Very nice read. Thanks for the link.
I didn't know that Jock had been banned/suspended from TimeZone. (I hope Google had the correct translation).
What was the issue about, do you know?

Jupp banned and his posts deleted i belive.
Jocke been critizising timezone for beeing so biased and pushing brands just for advertisement reasons..  They got a bit angry with him...

Thanks for sharing the link ... I just love GO's understated, functional and classic design.  If i were to get only one watch this year, i will get the Pano Inverse XL!  I know this one is probably not in line with the true DNA of GO (as some critics say), but I just love the design!

Jock is a very interesting character. I've always enjoyed his posts on rolexforums. TZ will be a much less colorful place without him.

Well, all the more reason for Malaysia Watch Forum to be kept as commercial free as possible.

Jocke is a very interesting character whose posts are often informative and entertaining. He's also a very good watch photographer.
Just came as a surprise to me that he was banned from TZ.

Hi J; I found it interesting that you showed a picture of a cat in your
recent 'Pussy' post; cats are supposed to have nine lives & we don't. I
have a well developed (some might even call it peverse) sense of humour,
but jokes like this have no place on Timezone. There are plenty of places,
of which you are well aware, where you can post that sort of thing. All of
the moderators & managers on TZ are fed up with your antics, if you are not
prepared to write to me within 24hours, stating that you will observe ALL of
the TZ guidelines in future, and make also an apology on the Public Forum for
your recent posts, then this will be the last time we communicate and I will
have no alternative left but to ban you from TZ.

Good Luck
James"

So that's the cause of his expulsion from TZ. Those people have no sense of humour unlike the fun lot at Rolexforums.
