OK, the wife finally said yes to the Harley and Rolex. After being a Baume & Mercier and Omega collector for years, I finally got a the dive watch I have always wanted (and the Road King Custom :-) ).

I will admit that I thought this this forum to be a bit strange. After all, our watches all look the same so why so many pictures ???

However, after lurking here for a few weeks I have found info/advice that I could not have found anywhere else and offered in such good spirit.

So I humbly thank you guys!

Welcome! Nothing like a Harley and a Rolex.

JAD3703 · 7 September 2007, 10:10 AM

Congrats on both the hawg as well as your Sub. Both are beautiful pieces of finely engineered machinery.

Ride and wear in good health for many years to come.

Congrats. It sounds like you have a good woman in your corner and now a Sub and Harley. It doesn't get much better than that.

There is much more than watch talk around here. Some of it twisted, but all in good fun. Congrats on the Road King.

Welcome to TRF!

And congrats!

Why not post pics of your Rolex and Harley?

We'd love to see some pics!

Here is MY suggestion to how to post pics here:

1) Go to www.photobucket.com and create an account (it's FREE!)
2) Upload the pic to photobucket from your PC
3) When it's uploaded, copy the IMG code (BOTTOM bar under the photo in photobucket - there are four bars, but you'd wanna use the third and last bar). You copy the IMG code by simply clicking on the bar.
4) You then note that photobucket tells you "copied".
5) Then go to rolexforums and start your post.
6) In your post, press the "Add picture" button and a prompt pops up with http://. Delete that http:// and press CTRL + V (now that address of the photo - the "IMG tag" - is inserted in the prompt you got.
7) Then DELETE the last and first [IMG] to get rid of "IMG" standing before and after your photo when you post it. (not important, but just looks better).

Or you can skip # 6 & 7 and just rightclick in your post and choose "paste"...........BINGO your photo will be there as soon as you press Submit reply.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT DELETE THE PICTURE FROM PHOTOBUCKET (OR ANY SERVER YOU USE) SINCE DELETING IT THERE WOULD ALSO DELETE IT HERE ON TRF! (RED CROSS INSTEAD OF PIC).

Sold last year. Huge sellers remorse but what is done is done. Congrats on your 2 new purchases. Enjoy

SPACE-DWELLER · 7 September 2007, 08:36 PM

AWESOME Harley!

I would have regretted selling that, too, had it been mine.

Transient · 7 September 2007, 08:36 PM

Holy Sh!t what a beautiful bike. Really stunning...

EvEr34 · 7 September 2007, 08:41 PM

Thanks....as soon as he pulled out of the driveway...I wanted to yell....HEY I MADE A MISTAKE PLEASE COME BACK!!!!!

Oh well...what is done is done. Good thing he lives in another part of the province 'cause I would not want to see it again.

* i got to stop highjacking these threads* But everytime i hear or read the word harley i have a dire need to go back to my photo album to take a peek*

Thanks. I thought so to. About 5-6 yrs of time and money into it.

Guy made me an offer i could not refuse so off it went.

Was supposed to start a new project but I just don't have the time or interest at this time.
