1000th Post // Double Incoming !!!
I've finally surpassed 1000 posts and what better way to celebrate than to do a double incoming?!
 Thank you to the TRF community for being such a great place for watch nuts to gather and talk about our sickness  . I've learned so much since joining from this forum and I truly appreciate it, and all the members and amazing sellers. Special thanks to DavidSW, Perpetualman88, and Takuya and anyone who has taken the time to answer my silly questions  Anywho...over the past few months, I've been buying, trading, and losing money, in search of pieces that I love. To be honest, I've loved every piece that I've owned, however brief. My LVC and PAM 111 come to mind and I miss them dearly, but with such an extremely limited budget to spend on watches it was hard to narrow them down to a few that I truly love but I think I've finally found some keepers... The first currently sits on my wrist as I type this, my favorite SS Rolex model, the GMTII BLNR. The second is currently on the FedEx truck on it's way to my house as we speak. The third should arrive at my AD tomorrow, Monday, or Tuesday. I doubt anyone who has been following my posts or answering my silly questions would be surprised as to what the two watches are! Thanks for everything TRF, crappy iPhone pics to follow

So the first one has arrived. Bummed I won't be able to get it sized until tomorrow. Thanks to Mr. Thanh Do, aka Takuya!

Congrats and I can't wait to see what's coming next. On a side note, given the magnitude of your "celebration" on your 1000th post, I shudder at the thought of what it'll be like when you hit 10,000!

Wow! Nice way to celebrate Chris!
Double congrats!!! 15400 looks very nice! That silver dial looks great on you! Glad you found the one you were looking for. It took little while but, I guess it was all worth the wait. So what's next?? Can't wait to see what's the other one is! Best Young |

Just got back from my AD. My second watch hasn't come in yet. Hopefully it'll be here by Monday. Loving the AP so far, just wish the dial were more white than silver but I'm not going to let that bother me one bit haha.
