Welcome to TRF, Bob. You've come to the right place. We are all passionate here. Some about watches, some about cars, others about women, and at least one about sheep.
So stick around and join the fun at our merry madhouse.

So, with the watch above, it started. As you can imagen at 10 or 11 yr old, I could not afford Rolex. It has always been my favorite...
Have been at the factory (not for a tour yet) but there is a great Rolex dealer close to the factory in Geneva who has everything what is available. Off course there are other good watch makers... I also have and some others too... |

It shure does! I was awe struck when I first saw a LED watch, it was a glimpse into the future! (Not, as it turned out to be). But they almost caused the death of the Swiss watch industry.
