Geico caveman love

How great is Kilyung?! For me, this guy is the MAN. He has posted over 30,000 times, he's incredibly knowledgeable, ridiculously well-bought and very supportive of all members. Honestly, he is truly one of the backbones of TRF. Thank you Mike. You make this fun (and informative) for all of us.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mike at the last Vegas GTG, he is a class individual and all you say.

I met Mike at The Vegas GTG last April. He's a great guy, with a super nice collection of watches. Looking forward to hanging out with him again this upcoming year

I'm lucky enough to live in the same city as Mike and when we meet for lunch he's INCREDIBLY generous with all of his watches and lets me wear them. Here are two examples...

I wish I had a local friend with a collection and knowledge like that

As others have said, thank you for all of your input on here Mike. It really is appreciated.

Well heck guys. Thanks for the sentiment. I'm just a knuckle dragger that stumbled into TRF and never left (mods keep forgetting to ban me).

I once got a flat tire, and Mike pulled over to the side of the road to help me. Instead of helping change the flat, he just gave me his car and said he'd take care of mine. I still have that Bentley to this day.
