The magic of TRF on Rolex ownership....

I always knew growing up that Rolex is the watch I'm getting when I can afford it. Purchase my first (TT DJ) 5 years ago and it was a joyous experience. I always feel good whenever I wear it until I joined TRF. The whole perspective of owning a Rolex has totally changed. It is now more exciting and enjoyable. I just acquired my TT GMTiiC the other day from a TRF seller and it feels so gratifying. I think owning a Rolex without TRF affiliation won't be as satisfying........

Congratulations on your new acquisition, it's a great watch. I owned Rolexes for 20 years before being a member here. It's always nice to be with those who share our interests.

A sorrow shared is half the sorrow. A joy shared is twice the joy!

TRF makes owning a Rolex twice as wonderful!

Congrats on the GMT. Few timepieces carry the heritage the reference has to offer. It's by far my favorite watch.

TRF has helped me learn more about the brand that interests me so much. This has really made ownership that more special.
