New Thread...Rolex Posts -Oldies but goodies.

Being rather new to the time piece game, I'm asking for a little help.

After doing some searching here, I found this poster named Bas, and his incredibly educational and pictorial posts.

My hopes for this thread are to gather some more posts and or posters from the past, similar to Bas's.

Not looking for anything other than, informative, educational replies. Perhaps illustrating the changes made to a particular piece over the years, ass an example.

I missed out on the previous 15+- yrs. of TRF, by not finding this place before now...

Hey Scott, "talented" is an understatement! And I've only just begun to read his posts!

Exactly, I was searching....that's exactly how I stumbled upon this tip of the iceberg!

Bas is awesome. User: Chadridv posts a lot of cool pictures of experiments with different bands and bracelets on different watches.

Yeah, I did read some early writings by Tools. Half of what I learned so far! His Daytona stuff is right on time!

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for!

Use search function: ‘broads’ ‘scotch’ ‘Cadillac’ ‘Brut’ ‘A-Team’ ‘Viagra’ ‘Wanker’ ‘Tosser’ ‘catsup’ ‘stockist’ ‘Greenspan’ and ‘EKG’ and sit back.

It’s informative AND fun.

Vanessa offers wisdom in WatchTech.

But her best post (for me) was just a short “ok” when a wanker was spewing ignorance in a technical thread.
