I'm still in touch with Caroline, Vanessa (abigsecret), Nancy (Al's better half) and JJ's daughters, Yasmin and Jasmin. Vanessa is now living in Mexico, where her husband works. We are all friends on Facebook.

Still here, mostly lurking.
I must admit I’ve fallen out of love with watches lately, or, more accurately, I’m happy where I am and I lost most interest in new stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is so great, imo, to keep in touch with some old friends. As we all get older, this is, again, imo..a must..! - So long as the recipients agree to keep in touch. It's a 2x way 'street'. ....

Uncle AJ’s was a special place, and helped me through a very ruff period. You guys were always there for me. Over 50 pages of “Things that make Jim Snyder Laugh” . All of you helped me deal with the hospital stay and 7 months with that thing on my leg.

Hey hey...
Miss the old crew - JJ of course. Safe Trends anyone? It’s a bit of a different place. All the talk is about no steel sports Rolex available...and waiting lists. Well...to be fair we still have the occasional “is it safe” threads. The only blessing is no more “What is the average discount I should expect on a SS Sub” inquiries. |

Jim's still around on Facebook. He's not as active as he was but with William's illness, it's to be expected.

Where is the line for the old gang?
Is it a date Is before the is it safe threads? Is it before the “can I wash my hands w my submariner” Is it before all the my watch as an investment threads? Or is that you all had the privilege of being called a “tosser” by JJ ? Hope all are well
