1,000th post and many thanks

Hey everyone, for my 1,000th post I just wanted to take a moment and thank our awesome TRF family for welcoming me with open arms. I joined almost a year ago and I have gotten nothing but awesome information and positive feedback/encouragement. When I was headed to Vegas a month after joining (and after being on the waitlist at my local AD for 4 months for a JC with no avail) members here encouraged me to still walk in and ask, even though I was brand new to Rolex and had no purchase history anywhere worth speaking of. From that encouragement I landed my first Rolex as a vacation walk in and really got hooked into this hobby!

I’ve made friendships outside of the forum with members here (shoutout to Randy and Ali!!) and when I’ve had a hard day or I just need a distraction TRF gives me a chance to be excited for others with their incomings or just remember that we all live a blessed and more fortunate life than most.

So thanks TRF!!

Thanks guys!! Being here on TRF is definitely a blessing and a curse since the more time you spend on here the more pieces you want to add. Wouldn’t have it any other way though!
