Wow was very humbled and honored by the request to do this! Kinda embarrassing anyone would even care!

Huge thanks to Eliot for coming up with the concept and bigger thanks for taking the time and having the skills to put this all together !!!!!


Well I look forward to reading about some of the giants of the forum and some of my Rolex role models in upcoming issues if Eliot can stick it out!! Huge amount of work!!


Also thank you everyone for all the nice comments look forward to reading about you guys!!


Thanks Eliot!!!!!

This is a shot across the bow of those who repeatedly claim that Daytonas are only for women.

Great interview of Dr. Tom! Most definitely a top Rolex and TRF ambassador!

I mean how many watches have been sold because of his enthusiasm? Mucho!
