Happy Anniversary, to me.
Twelve years ago today, I joined this forum.
It had less than 100 members at the time, and I got to see evolve in the powerhouse it is today. Along the way I made friends, and even traveled the world to meet some of them in person. Thank you all for the last twelve years, I hope to be around for many more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you very much, and the feeling is 100 percent mutual. I have a feeling 2018 is the year we will see each other again, it's been two years to the day since we went to York. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congratulations! It was only a year ago that this forum was one of the prime movers in getting me to move to "good" watches, first Tudor and quickly thereafter my first Rolex. The resources and opinions had a lot to do with my appreciation of watches in general and Rolex/Tudor in particular. It must have been quite amazing to see a forum grow from 100 to close to 200K members. It must have been just a few watch guys (gals too?) sharing an appreciation for Rolex then. Now it's a powerhouse resource. Thanks for posting.
