Have been around for a few years on the forum,started off in the Rolex side and then did a complete shift to the Panerai side.

Have had many PMs,mails,telephone conversations,Skype messages etc.with TRF members but never had the priviledge to meet one in person.Been to a few GTGs but no-one there were TRF members.

Today LeonardH and myself got together at my place.Showed him all my straps and Leonard bought some straps from me.Hope you enjoy them !!!

Leonard is an absolute genteman and it was an absolute priviledge meeting him.Looking forward to seeing you at the Panerai GTG on June the 12th again.

That 005 looks great on your wrist !!!

looking forward to meeting more TRF members in the future !!!!

Sounds great. If I ever hit the lottery S. Africa is definitely on my list of places I want to see. You never know.

Latrodectus · 11 April 2010, 09:41 AM

That is very nice...I would like to visit you too!

Sounds great Chris.

Heck, you can't walk two blocks in Melbourne without running into a TRF member...

Cheers

Chris, I must say I have not met anyone who is more knowledgeable and have such a passion for watches. It was an amassing chat, thanks again for making the time out of your very busy schedule to meet with me and open your home for a visit. It was great also to meet you wife.

You have been a great help over the past few weeks with many emails and advice on which Pam to get and I could not have been happier. This will be first of many to come.

The straps are amassing, I cannot believe that I wore the watch with the OEM  (not to offend anyone please). I will take some picture when back at home, please stay tuned for more.

Can’t wait for the GTG it will be amassing and looking forward in meeting all the folks.

Sounds GREAT!!!

BTW Chris, my Friend name Rus from San Francisco planning to fly to South Africa to see the World Cup. He's a member of P.com. His log name is GameOn.
Can he join the GTG in South Africa during the World Cup? Can you give me your email address? Thanks.
