I'm new. Hope this isn't an old question.

In my brief time here I have the impression the members are mostly fortyish, successful, handsome and possessing excellent taste in watches with the New Zealand contingent as a possible exception.

It really doesn't matter as you are all universally cordial and helpful.

At 74, just wondering if I'm the only old f@rt on the forum.

Sorry I still don't have a photo of my new YG GMT IIc Green Dial so I'll post my 1965 GMT (purchased new in Japan), which was gifted to my son after RSC "restored" it.

whiskyguy · 17 February 2010, 02:47 PM

Since JJ's 130 he counts as 2!

Very nice vintage GMT Gary.......

I'd love to see a pic of the YG GMT sometime in the near future!!!

Sorry but I don't qualify in that age group just yet...

Rob.

Most certainly there are quite a few of us mature guys on forum myself will be 66 soon.

Starwalker · 17 February 2010, 08:01 PM

TRF is one of the best forums. It has some of the nicest and most helpful people, with a vast wealth of knowledge for all Rolex ethusiasts, and i really appreciate the good humor here....and the sense of camaradrie this forum provides most of us with. Hope this place is just as rockin'! when i'm 65 too!

jmsrolls · 17 February 2010, 09:18 PM

In nine days I will be 66 and officially "over 65".

There are a few of us old guys around.

Here in the states, Railroaders can retire if they are 60 years old, and have at least 30 years of service. I have 41 years in right now, but won't be 60 until July. So I guess it's a case of not getting born soon enough for me. Railroad Retirement is a solvent system, and it was what Social Security was patterened after in the early 1930's.

Attention all Search and Rescue units; JJ has been found.
Cancel your search and return to base.

Whew, there for a minute I thought JJ failed to see my humor, albeit pathetic.

OK to resume Dog Chase & Retirement thread .

Not at all, I saw it and thought it was funny as hell.

DDG · 18 February 2010, 12:20 AM

I'm almost 60, and the wife is just a few months behind. I already told her when she hit's 60, I'm trading her off for three 20 year olds.

Do you know what the similarity is between old farts chasing young girls and dogs chasing cars?

If they stop, what do they do?

Safetrends · 18 February 2010, 12:50 AM

You are old as you feel and look. I feel old as JJ, and still look young, no bald head so I am 50/50.

Another question might be, "What would they do if they did catch what they were chasing?"

Isn't that what I just said?

Like you just said: help any?

ducatidoc · 18 February 2010, 01:01 AM

Well...Greg and Steve and I all have one thing in common: a dozen years left during which we can still point at 65 y/o's and say, "Poor old Fart "

They stop is ambiguous. Stop chasing, or stop after they caught?

Right, and also, what do you do when you catch one?

ed54 · 18 February 2010, 12:26 AM

Well, maybe you're the only "old fart", but I'm 65 and enjoying my efforts to spend the kid's inheritance. I'm wishing for a pepsi like that, but I doubt my wife will understand- in fact, I'm SURE she won't understand.

Tylden Reed · 18 February 2010, 12:49 AM

21 here - unless I look in the mirror, then I'm 67 (actual age) but my wife thinks I'm still 13. Grandson is 1 & 10/12, sometimes it's a toss-up who is the elder! Tylden.

Well, you got the 40ish and handsome part right, anyway!

Seriously, Gary, I think you'll find a wide range of ages here.
