Peter, it's great to see you are still here, along with Ed, Larry, Paulie and others.

Great to hear from you Adrian yes the good old days, how its changed now over those years and not always for the best.

I'm still in touch with Caroline, Vanessa (abigsecret), Nancy (Al's better half) and JJ's daughters, Yasmin and Jasmin. Vanessa is now living in Mexico, where her husband works. We are all friends on Facebook.

Sounds like we've created a monster Peter.

You're too kind Sny and one of the good guys. We need Chip to chip in, with some of his great pictures.

That's cool. You should ask them to come back and chat every once in a while!

SLRdude · 21 January 2020, 05:30 AM

Still here, mostly lurking.
I must admit I’ve fallen out of love with watches lately, or, more accurately, I’m happy where I am and I lost most interest in new stuff.

- Basel is on the way out.

- Many more relatives have been dying and leaving “Rolexeses” in their wills.

- There’s no more men’s or women’s watches. It’s all one.

- We can’t talk about purses without it getting testy.

- Cologne is now a collectible.

- If you click a link in a DM, your social security number ends up somewhere in Prague and you just wired ‘Zevdelnia’ $20k for a Timex

Other than that, all good!

That is so great, imo, to keep in touch with some old friends. As we all get older, this is, again, imo..a must..! - So long as the recipients agree to keep in touch. It's a 2x way 'street'. ....

Uncle AJ’s was a special place, and helped me through a very ruff period. You guys were always there for me. Over 50 pages of “Things that make Jim Snyder Laugh”

. All of you helped me deal with the hospital stay and 7 months with that thing on my leg.

Hey hey...

Miss the old crew - JJ of course. Safe Trends anyone?

It’s a bit of a different place. All the talk is about no steel sports Rolex available...and waiting lists.

Well...to be fair we still have the occasional “is it safe” threads.

The only blessing is no more “What is the average discount I should expect on a SS Sub” inquiries.

JimSnyder · 22 January 2020, 02:01 AM

Most of our posts back then had nothing to do with watches

Tossers, Houses, The Nylon Nation, Potatoes........

You've been out in the desert for too long Larry.

JimSnyder · 22 January 2020, 11:34 AM

When I’m on Facebook, it’s to follow all the friends from here. I’m always following you, Adrian, Jim, Nancy, Lisa, Vanessa, Alan, Caroline, Colin, Paul, Heru, Bill, James, David.....

I still love this place!!

train-time · 27 January 2020, 06:56 AM

Still around, although it's not the same as the "Good Old Days." Spend a little time just lurking.

subtona · 27 January 2020, 07:23 AM

Where is the line for the old gang?

Is it a date
Is before the is it safe threads?
Is it before the “can I wash my hands w my submariner”
Is it before all the my watch as an investment threads?

Or is that you all had the privilege of being called a “tosser” by JJ ?

Hope all are well
