What have you learned on the TRF about Rolex?

[SPACE-DWELLER]

I've learned this place can be an expensive one!

[WhatTheDeuce]

I've learned that $30,000 is relatively inexpensive for a watch.

[WhatTheDeuce]

Oh, I've learned how to wire money...

[dysondiver]

best tip recently was the length of submariner on a red sub ,, thats so handy .

* You never win a drawing

And if it says "winner" on the back it's probably a loser

I have learnt how addictive watches can become and how good this forum is

[DiamondJack]

I have learned that I'm not alone in my addiction to all things horological and, indeed, that there are quite a few people infected far worse than I am..... quite reassuring in a rediculously crazy sort of way......

[katana]

I have become, addicted, to buy more Rolex.

[impalass]

For close to thirty years the wife, family and friends had me thinking I was crazy for not only having more than one watch but spending more than a pay check on any watch.

Since discovering TRF I've learned I'm a normal (?) WIS and in very good company.

[tudorluv]

that watch people, particularly the TRF community, are not stereotypical "watch snobs", but are some of the kindest, knowledgeable, helpful, and inspirational people around

[Rolexitis]

Too much to list. I love this place. I now know more than any AD I have come across!
I always have a hope that they will offer me a job!

[TakesALickin]

I've learned that everything has a serial number... end links, bracelets, clasps. Even watches.

Along the same vein, I've learned that no grail is entirely unachievable or unjustifiable.

[nick c]

That we need more then one watch

[JohnBoy]

[QUOTE=kilyung;3849414]Along the same vein, I've learned that no grail is entirely unachievable or unjustifiable. [/QUOT

And that the 'grail' is only a temporary designator until its obtained - so, unfortunately, its not entirely achievable or justifiable, either. Awww....who cares? A true WIS must be flexible.

[Kingair]

That there are still a lot of friendly people . . . on this forum anyway . . .

That I lost 2 to 3 hours a day . . . . spending it now on TRF . . .

Watches . . . drive you mad . . .

This is true for me as well.

I have learnt that Rolex is only a watch, as mass produced watch company.

Kind of a expensive Swatch you mean . . .

[Tony-GB]

I have learnt so much from so many TRF colleagues.

JJ, thank you and bless you. Still miss your input my friend.

Jocke, thank you



Above all, it's not to take the whole watch thing too seriously. It's just a watch forum. They're just watches.

Except its not made of plastic and some crazy art work

[DrLindaPhD]

I've learned to be a more educated buyer. I've learned to be a little more patient, rather than jumping on everything I see that I want. I've learned not everything that looks like a Rolex is a Rolex and I've learned that there is a great group of people willing to help you make a big decision about buying an expensive watch - TRF means Totally Reliable Friends ! ! !

[mrbill2mrbill2]

I have learned a sh$t load. Also, TRF is loaded with some extremely knowledgeable members.

Just don't start your first post with "My grandfather left me ..."

[xhype]

i learned not to be a troll
