No, it didn't. If the graphic is not too big, you can attach it to the post. When you are in the post window, you will see a bar at the top with a "paper clip" icon. Click it, and you will get options for attaching your graphic directly to the post. The only other way is to have an account on a graphics server, where you can call your graphic with the [img] tag.

Try it... :thumbsup:

...it works.... now I can show pictures....
Yep! And that brings back a lot of memories! :agree: :thumbsup:

[ProRally]

So, with the watch above, it started. As you can imagen at 10 or 11 yr old, I could not afford Rolex. It has always been my favorite...
Have been at the factory (not for a tour yet) but there is a great Rolex dealer close to the factory in Geneva who has everything what is available.
Off course there are other good watch makers...
I also have http://users.skynet.be/fa010527/Watch/Glasshutte.jpg and some others too...

[Goodwatch]

Yep! And that brings back a lot of memories! :agree: :thumbsup:


It shure does! I was awe struck when I first saw a LED watch, it was a glimpse into the future! (Not, as it turned out to be). But they almost caused the death of the Swiss watch industry.

Keep going, Bob. Those are looking great!!! Congrats!!! :thumbsup: :cheers:

I once took a fellow Floridian to the Rolex factory couple of years ago (or even 5 yrs ago), he did buy a nice gold President Date-dayjust at the dealer...

[ProRally]

Keep going, Bob. Those are looking great!!! Congrats!!! :thumbsup: :cheers:

Not all one the first day...
Have to start taking more pictures of my watches and upload them :rofl:
But thanks for the warm welcome.

That would be MY dream watch - Solid 18K gold Bark Day-Date! Mmmmm, I get the shakes just thinking about it now. :clap:

Oh well... Perhaps one day. I will be content with the three beauties I currently own! :thumbsup:

I am enjoying seeing your collection of watches, Bob. Thanks for posting! :cheers:

[ProRally]
