what do you like about TRF?

Hello,

I just wanted to say that the members here are one of the most friendliest and down to earth people I have met online.

It is a great pleasure to be here discussing our love for watches and enthusiasm for Rolex and non rolex brands.

So what do you guys like about trf ?

Great comments and agree 100%. The one other thing I enjoy is hunting down trolls and zapping them!

We've pretty much said it all but I'd like to add that whether we talk about watches or not TRF is a wonderful place to exchange opinions and share stories.

I think it's much more than a watch forum.

I love the way the people here provide help, not only to each other but complete strangers.

The watch reviews on all brands are awesome.

The daily WRUW is my favourite. I love the daily gallery and the variety of the watch images people provide.

The whole forum is a Rolex encyclopaedia .

And...... I don't feel alone with my obsession.
