First time on any type of forum, post 1000!

I joined two other watch forums at about the same time as I became a TRF member, on one I have made it to 10 posts, on the other to 12. I am a member of three car enthusiast forums, I've managed 640, 45 and 37 respectively on each of them. Adding all these up, including all the posts on a few scuba, photography and work-related boards, the total is still less than the 1000 posts on TRF.

I thought I'd celebrate by taking a few photos of the watches you guys have forced me to spend money that should have been used for more reasonable purchases on.

Looks to me that we have convinced you or forced you to do the right thing.

Those watches look pretty good to me.

Congrats on reaching 1K.

Thanks everyone!

I sure hope the number of watches hasn't doubled by the time I reach 2000 unless something radical happens to my economy.
