What models do the TRF Moderators wear?

Would love to hear from the moderators here what Rolex models they have and any stories along with them

Thanks

Each moderator, is given their choice, to choose from whatever Rolex preference they'd prefer, for their dedication and service!

I mean where do you think all that Pledge Membership money is going???

Would love to hear stories behind them. There should be a sub forum for that kind of stuff. Probably how the general forum used to be until the investment/nicknames/scratches stuff permeated it.

I’m told they have a free lifetime subscription to anything coming out the Rolex factory. And they simply discard pieces they’re bored of.

I tend to agree, the AP and PP styles are a bit too conservative (RO and Nautilus aside).

I understand a gentleman mod is one of the biggest fans of Seiko, and I love that thread massively for the passion and deep knowledge of the brand.

They all wear Omegas and Breitlings. Not a Rolex among the bunch. The whole thing is a ruse.

Umm, I find RO and Nautilus to be very ugly and really don't understand what the hype is all about.

I find Patek's classic Complications and Calatrava to be the most beautiful in their lineup and think that's their best work. Again this is just how I see them.

Interesting thread. Padi doesn't suprise me. He probably has a 5513 that's yellower than Barnie (Simpsons).

Would love to hear from other mods as well. :)

Moderators all wear platinum daytonas. They receive one as part of the induction ceremony as set out by TRF charter.

Not everyone wishes to share what they have in their collection. Should accept that they are Rolex fans and if they do share what references tthey own, then that is great fun, but remember they are entitled to be private.

Master Complication on a NATO strap. Nice combination? It's got "Padi" written all over it.

Wear it in "moderation." ;)
