Where's my gold watch!

Member since ‘06. I know some of the original founders from old sites from long ago.

Have 4 Rolex, so I mostly lurk.

Great to see a lot of familiar and sorely missed names from the past.

I can’t even begin to explain how big a part all of you and this place has been to my life. This has been a safe haven to me for years. At the end of a day, good or bad, I have always been able to turn to the forum. Sorry I did not follow up these past few days. A week ago tonight we had a Tornado, no harm to us but our house suffered damage.

..So sorry to hear about your damage.. The weather, all over the country and elsewhere have been extreme that I can recall over the years. - So long as you and yours are safe, is what matters.
We all have to hang tough thru trying times.
It's been trying times up here too. - The snows have gone, for now, - hence the melting and water run-off issues are before us. We just have to do what we have to do to keep safe.

I am sorry to hear that Jim. I hope everything gets sorted out smoothly.


On another note. It is very nice to see all these familiar names. I remember asking really dumb questions a few years back and you guys were always accommodating and informative

Thanks everyone for being awesome

Hello boys. I'm still around but not so much. I get most of my watch news from a WhatsApp group and IG nowadays.
Good to see you still around Jim.

I still think the Rolex black stick 16264 one of the best all-time designs ever.

I'm still here and post occasionally but nothing like I did in the early days. When I found this place, there were nine other members. As a few of us got banned from another place, we eventually persuaded other disgruntled members to join us. Funnily enough, JJ was one of the last to come over but when he did, he never looked back. Peter, it's great to see you are still here, along with Ed, Larry, Paulie and others.

Hi Jim,

Do you know whatever happened to Mark, the TRF founder?
