I am so so on it, but do you go to the German forum to just look at pics or do you speak a language that we don't know about?

that is a pretty good idea. as an emt i can appreciate the need for a readily visable second hand.

i could never bring myself to do that to my SD but i respect the utility and balls to do it.

all the best,
Jason

Jason, welcome to TRF and congrats on your first post. Please feel at home and free to jump in the mix. One thing you should not find here is a snobbish attitude from the members.

As for the visable second hand, there can only be one.

Well then I will let you in on the TRF secret, if you are short of something to say, just make fun of either JJ or Frans, that always does the trick.

Welcome Jason. I'm kinda new here myself, but I've had a blast since I joined. Hang around, it's a great atmosphere and good folks. I'm sure you'll love it.
(I would say great atmosphere and great folks, but some of their heads will swell, mainly JJ)

Love the Red Second Hand

I love it! It adds a bit of color to the Sub. If I could have it done I would do it.

Green second hand on the LV....say, that's not a bad idea at all. Perhaps one of our photoshop experts could come up with that...just to see how it looks!!

Only one Rolex should have a red hand. And they're powered by the mighty 3185.

'Nuff said.

Bloody hell, this is getting way out of hand. New members are being advised (right after introduction) to make fun of certain highly respected forum members (well, members, at least 1). Benedict Arnold!

P.S. New guy: make fun of JJ at you heart's content but leave Frans out of it!

Finally, the recognition I've been craving for. For a member of an ethnic minority this is very important!
