He moved across the pond but surprised he has gone from being the most prolific poster to complete silence, boy he must have invented ghosting.

Tyler come back and keep posting.

Didn't he just get a platinum Daytona? Perhaps he loves it so much he is too embarrassed to post on the PP sub-forum?

Haha, I know he loves the Platona. I was talking to him a ton over the last few months when I was thinking about it. I've decided to shelve the idea for now though.

If you disappear from TRF--PP, we'll know you bought one!

I must say that while I absolutely love mine, I got it when they were mid-40s slightly used. At current prices, it would be a different decision.

I haven't been around these parts lately as I'm exceedingly happy with my SS 5712. No need to constantly preach to the choir and just add to the crowds raving about it. I also don't need to chase other pieces for the sake of my mental health and wallet!

What happened to tyler1980

The never-ending move continues….



We bought our house in December anticipating a Jan move which was delayed to June. So, a lot of back and forth since then. Out of the UK in early June and they packed our sea and air shipments about a week prior. Air shipment took about 3 weeks to arrive and still waiting on the sea shipment. Luckily since we were in the UK so long almost all of our large furniture was due to be replaced anyway so we are starting from scratch on all that stuff.













I don’t recommend trying to travel for 10 hours with 3 kids under age 6 although the little guy slept a bit.







Life has been a sea of boxes for about 6 weeks so far. Waiting on deliveries/ordering furniture, and odds and ends, setting up the house (minus a 40-foot sea container that still hasn’t arrived). Never ending service calls to ADT about our semi functional security cameras, car shopping for the wife (thankfully I took care of mine well in advance of the move and it’s just been in storage waiting for our return), trying to keep the kids entertained etc.







Went a bit overboard on the Hue lights, and smart house integration. And the Hue hub only counts as one device and we are still not done.









3 small kids and a transatlantic move is a logistical nightmare as is setting up everything when they are still waiting on almost all of their “stuff”







Still alive, but just getting settled to our new normal. Once this is over this move will have dominated about 7 months from start to finish if you count house purchase as the start date although planning has been going on much longer. The sea of boxes continues on the US side of the move too





Something goes here... but for now it’s tape until September (Aug. possibly if im lucky)... who knew a couch took so long




A public service announcement.... if you need a sound bar. Bowers and Wilkins formation is awesome. Blows the Bose soundbar 700 out of the water. So much so that i sit on the tape and watch the TV upstairs vs downstairs with the bose and a couch

Patek related wrist shot


My date corrector is in the sea shipment so I’m rocking my watches with the wrong dates for now... maybe why I’m not wearing them much at the moment

Best of luck with the move. The furthest I've moved is about 10 miles and my wife said she would divorce me if I ever tried to move again. That was with 1 kid...now I have 3 under 6 as well and there is no way I could imagine doing it. thoughts and prayers are with you
