Interview with a Rolex Forums Member

So I have been thinking about doing this for a while. A monthly series of interviews with members of this forum. Each month one interview of 10 to 15 questions.

Would like to know if anyone is interested in being interviewed or has suggestions of members who they would want to read an interview of. All rolex and watch related material. It will be done via email and posted in a thread once per month.

Cheers

Eliot

I don't mind being interviewed but I'm kinda boring. Porsche racer Dr. Tom would be a great interview.

Springer (JP) has contributed a great deal of knowledge to the GMT community and also has a great collection. I'd be interested in hearing from him.

Great idea Eliot. I would read and/or participate. Outside of partying with P Diddy and Jay z I am pretty boring though! . Maybe we could get guest interviews as well?

Interview with a Rolex Forums Member

I don’t think I’m interesting enough to be interviewed, but I’d love for you to do this! I’m sure some folks on here have some very interesting watches with even more interesting stories behind them.
