Since Covid started I seem to be hanging around on TRF multiple times per day and I must say that I am so happy that this forum exists…feels like home!

I’m not only in the vintage section these days since my love for vintage Seikos has starting to be picking up as a result to the booming Rolex market which takes out a bit of joy for me…anyway, would be cool to see how often other members are here…

77T · 21 January 2022, 01:59 PM

Much more often as the Rolex General section has sprouted so many inane threads. I don’t find that here.

Also, I am now 100% Vintage in my small collection and enjoy seeing some of the projects here.

As much as possible! I don’t post much as i typically don’t have a lot to add, but i love it.

BNA/LION · 21 January 2022, 02:02 PM

Once per week maybe more

KY.. · 21 January 2022, 02:05 PM

For me vintage is anything pre year 2000.
There’s a lot of very nice modern timepieces but I still prefer vintage over modern, even in Rolex.
And TRF is addictive…

baumare · 21 January 2022, 02:34 PM

I plead the Fifth on this!

I voted several time a day, sometimes I go to the general section but rarely find something interesting.
before I go to sleep I take a look at the Classifieds that works better then counting sheep

Dr.Smellody · 21 January 2022, 02:34 PM

At least a couple times per day.

TimeLord2 · 21 January 2022, 03:49 PM

Couple of times a day just to see if there is anything new… This section is much more entertaining than general discussion area. Love seeing some new find from grandpa, even if they do go south more often than not… This session is at an end clocking in at a little under 4 minutes.

offrdmania · 21 January 2022, 10:49 PM

Im finding myself in here much more often. Like the watches themselves, the vintage section reminds me of the old TRF when the discussions were about the watch, the passion, the horology, something I cant seem to find anymore in the General section. Everything in there seems to be the same topic over and over. You can only beat a dead horse so many times, I only go in there about once a month.

RazorD · 21 January 2022, 11:02 PM

A few times a day. I split my collection interest between vintage and modern but my reading on the forum is mainly here. I check in the general section too, but the topics are so redundant and less about the actual watches and more about the challenges of acquiring, rumors, etc.

Kingface66 · 21 January 2022, 11:40 PM

Wait. There’s a General forum??

colpol · 21 January 2022, 11:45 PM

At least once a day depending how busy I am

Certainly a lot more of interest/ less is it safe posts etc

drockadam · 22 January 2022, 12:07 AM

I think the vintage section is the best part of this forum. As others have said the General Discussion forum has gone a little wacky since the beginning of the new Ceramic era and the grey market boom/supply shortage. I always love learning about vintage Tudor & Rolex on this vintage forum and enjoy chatting with all you!

1William · 22 January 2022, 12:55 AM

Not at all. Not a vintage fan.

RedSub · 22 January 2022, 01:21 AM

Vintage section doesn't have twenty thousand incoming threads per day AND it's filled with really cool pieces and knowledge... I much prefer it over here.

Same here. The knowledge over here is helpful.
I have three five-digit pieces with the newest being a Y-Serial GMT II, the oldest a 7XXXXXX DateJust. I think of the five-digit models as vintage and so visit this forum more often that the others.

dhknola · 22 January 2022, 03:04 AM

I really do not care for modern Rolex but love the 5 digit and earlier references. I have learned a ton here, had some guidance that helped me in a pick up or two and dissuaded me from some less than stellar offerings. I am a big fan of this forum.

L.K Johnson · 22 January 2022, 05:12 AM

Great to see so much love for us “vintage guys”…was a bit afraid that people were going to comment and say “I seldom step foot in this geezer-deranged place : )

Stan Cooper · 22 January 2022, 06:47 AM

Two to four time a week for me unless there's an exceptionally interesting thread aligned with subjects I'm curious about; in that case I check in daily.

Jackie Daytona · 22 January 2022, 06:48 AM

Daily. I don’t post daily, but enjoy reading the vintage side of TRF and the conversations and info in the threads here much more than the general forum.

Kingsking · 22 January 2022, 06:57 AM

I visit a few times a day depending on the threads started. Something really interesting and it keeps me coming back .

mbc · 22 January 2022, 07:49 AM

I swing by once a day at least for a quick scan

vintagewatch · 22 January 2022, 12:55 PM

Not as often as I should, maybe a couple times a month. I post even less frequently. Sorry, my bad.

Old Expat Beast · 22 January 2022, 01:03 PM

Once or twice a day . . . just to make sure everyone's happy

gt.gee · 22 January 2022, 07:35 PM

Once a day... :)

carwashchris · 22 January 2022, 11:38 PM

Once or twice a day, love the thoughts and ideas. Old gold is the best.

Word, Chris!

ronricks · 23 January 2022, 08:43 AM

At least once a day. Have learned a lot in this Forum. Lots of good discussion focused more on the actual watches.

zapokee · 23 January 2022, 11:49 AM

I've been on a few times a day for 10 years, and still I've only just scratched the surface of all there is to know about vintage Rolex.

It really is endless, but when we pool our knowledge as a community we can usually figure stuff out. That's what makes the forum valuable.
