Hello from the Big Mango

Hello and good morning,

My name is B.F. and I am an European expat currently living in South East Asia. The reason why I joined this forum is to get more insight and knowledge on Rolex, and other iconic, watches. It is the superb quality of the machinery, the design, the heritage, the feeling; it all comes together in a Rolex.

The watches I currently own myself are a 11460 sub, a 16710 BLRO GMT Master II, a Tudor Black Bay Heritage 79230G, an Omega Speedmaster Professional, and a Skagen Tank.

Having read some various threads on this forum, it is hard not to notice the passion and expertise of the members. I look forward to being part of this community.

Cheers,

B.F.

Could you please answer me a small question? This whole forum-thing is new to me so perhaps I just do not understand, but how long does it generally take before a moderator approves a post?

I already tried to contribute a few posts but everything is, apparently, still subject to moderator's approval and has not showed on the forum.

Welcome.
Your first ten posts need to be moderator approved and could take several minutes or several hours.

That explains a lot, I already expected that the delay would probably be due to some sort of vetting process.

Thank you for your feedback.

Some of the first ten posts get blocked, some don't. Depends on which words the software flags automatically.
