That is the only way for some to not get banned.

I was looking for information on my recently inherited 6234 and found this site. It has provided me with lots of valuable information and I am thankful that this site is here.

At the risk of sounding repetitive... GOOGLE!!!

Google I was seriously considering my first Rolex purchase. I started researching information on Rolex watches. Google

Google Wouldn't you know it, I ended up joining a group that took me from considering to buying more than just one. Google

Google You guys aint nothing but a bunch of enablers. Google

I was just starting to get interested in Rolex, and the training information supplied by Rolex was frankly non-existant. Started doing my own research, stumbled across this place, and managed to absorb the phenomenal amount of information the site contains. I might have only been working in the trade for a little over 3 years, but I'd wager my product knowledge of the current line up is as good as anyone's (and, judging by people's experiences on here, much better in many cases!). Thankyou TRF!

I'm getting a subtle hint that you might have found TRF with Google?

SLRdude · 17 December 2010, 10:15 AM

I don't remember. All I know is that it had less than 100 members when I joined.

It was time for a Rolex and this was the most trusted forum I found.

It's been so long ago I forgot lol

I had already purchased my Rolex GMT and was looking for more information and was checking out the jewelers online. This Forum showed up and I took a look. Liked what I saw and have been here ever since!!!

Mr. Greene · 17 December 2010, 11:19 AM

I discovered it while trying to find more info on my 1655 and have had a great time since

I have been a member on another forum since around 2004, but found TRF using Google in October, 2007.

In the minority here ... Yahoo.

I noticed on Amazon that Timex made some pretty cool looking watches that were inexpensive enough to make owning several more interesting that owning just one more expensive watch.

That led me to checking out other brands and the more I looked, the more I wanted to know what distinguishes an inexpensive quartz watch from a more expensive quartz watch and why people were even interested in mechanical watches in this day and age.

That led me to watch forums and that led me to Rolex watches and that led me here.

It all started in 2006 and five years later, and a bunch of inexpensive watches later, I'm a Rolex nut--hmmm, I mean WIS--and still learning.

What's so cool about this interest is that there's always something new and something as yet undiscovered.
