Happy Holidays - I appreciate you

Was almost 5 years ago when I joined TRF. I had gotten my first Patek (Aquanaut) for $17k and these forums have since been a source of inspiration and lifelong friendships (as I’ve met some of you in person).

Sadly that 5167-1A is gone to a good friend (who found me on these forums) - however my collection has evolved in no small part due to the collective wisdom of this community.

Just want to say- Happy Holidays, warm wishes and please wear your watches in good health. Here’s a pic of two watches I would likely never have collected if it wasn’t for the folks on TRF.

TRF is definitely the best forum for watches imo and I’ve made a few good friends as a result of posting here.

Happy Holidays from another former Timezoner. You and Messina helped me with my 3940/3970 purchase a few years back. Love the 3970!

Happy Holidays to all and this evening’s wristwear is my first (and this far only) Patek. A classic Calatrava for me.

Merry Christmas
Happy new year and happy holidays to all
I’m a newbie here but seeing you all rocking some of my absolute drool worthy pieces, I have hopes that genuine enthusiasm for good timepieces isn’t dead yet. Thank you for all the inspiration and good vibes here. I have a meager collection so far with a couple Rolexes, a vintage Patek, a Breitling and some others. I absolutely adore the PP 5271P and is my grail watch. Hopefully I can get one someday. Also, if anyone here is in the NE/Boston area, and would care to meetup for a horological chat over drinks/food, hit me up please.
Best regards,
