I do like the idea of Steve and the founding of TRF as one interview subject.

Don't we already know too much about each other? The guys regularly on the Open forum I know surely do. Most partners should be snooping here already.

Yes was aware - figured Steve could be a good interview. He knows the story and the path to Rolex Forum World Domination

Great Idea....

But make it wider than just rolex interview. Patek, ap and some independents would make it more interesting.

Few members on patek and AP sub forums are very interesting to interview.
