Introduction

Hi guys,

I'm JJ from Auckland, New Zealand. Just thought I'd say hello to everyone.

I've been into watches for quite a while and I'd love to share my knowledge and experience with one and all.

I look forward to a long and lasting friendship with each and everyone of you guys.

Cheers - JJ

Are you freaking kidding me? This thread is so old it smells like rotten mutton! The one part I will comment on, " I look forward to a long and lasting friendship with each and everyone of you guys." is true. In 3 short months, I consider JJ a real friend.

He may not be the king, but I consider him the TRF Godfather.

I only wish I could have been around to exchange words with this fine individual. I've spent numerous hours reading some of his posts... What a great human being.

Here hereif there is an afterlife and I believe that there is and if I'm lucky enough to go there when I die (someone might have to leave me in the back door!) after I visit with friends and relatives I have some dogs to walk and some cats to rub then JJ and I are going to sit down for a couple of drinks and talk watches for a long time.
