[Brian Page]

Wish you well Padi, I knew this would start a bit of a thread here, I remember your story about the dive with the crown unwound.. Good stuff

[soflonative]

God bless you PADI!!...I've always valued your opinion o we the years, a true man of reason!

[Cassian739]

Wishing you all the best PADI! You are an inspiration to us all and embody the mantra "use your tools" and enjoy life.

Best wishes Padi! It is good to hear your stories of your Rolex watches in action.

That’s very sad to read, genuinely, that’s a really tough read, and tough to type, your honesty is very admirable .. I haven’t been on this forum long, so have no idea who is who - I do chuckle at your rants on nicknames, and too I survived cancer once.
Thank you for reminding us how precious life is ..

My heart goes out to you Padi! I've had prostate and kidney cancer both and for some strange reason I'm still here. I hope so much that things turn for you.

Padi, you've made a positive impact on many people in this community, and you continue to do so.

Relationships are the most important thing we have - as all other things are perishable. But well-fed relationships won't perish.

You've made your impact. Your heart and soul can feel good about this, and your legacy of service to others will outlast your time on earth.

Wish you a good health Padi, great to hear the stories from testmonees.

Peter, thanks for your commentary on here. I’ve always enjoyed reading your rants about actually using your watches and not keeping them locked up in the safe. I’m sorry your health is fading. I guess we all are fading, and time is short. Vaya con dios!

[Little machines]

Thank you Peter! Your messages and insight have always been helpful to watch collecting . These are just watches and enjoy every moment with our loved ones! Best only to you and always look forward to your good reads!

[TJTNeuroSx]

Best wishes to you. I continue to enjoy your posts and your practical wisdom.

[travisb]

All the best to you Peter!

Amen! God Bless.

I always like YOUR view on things. Especially the 'scratch' posts. I was flattered when you highlighted my quote in regard to someone wanting to put a protective strip on their clasp. Much peace and love

I am sorry to hear about your health and wish you all the best to you PADI.

Padi your posts are "must read". Always enjoy your diving stories and technical answers to Rolex questions. Hope you are comfortable. You are a true legend on TRF!

[GONZO2LR]

Sir, I really enjoyed your story and the importance of your divers that were more important that the watch at that moment, it shows your integrity and faith. i've only done 1 dive and it was an experience, but i didnt own a Submariner back then, but i do now and it's been to lakes (i own a jetski) and in the ocean and everywhere else on my wrist and i love looking at it when it's all dirty, dusty, sweaty, it's a tool watch.

I've enjoyed all your stories , i've laughed so many times and now after reading your words, i'm overcome. Instead of sorrow and grief, I give you Joy and Cheer, just to know i am wearing a Rolex just like you.

Sir! I raise my favorite drink in a glass and say " Cheers to you Sir! "
