Why I Love This Forum - Vincent65
Being a newbie, I rarely post but I do try to read all the new listings in the general discussion. On Wednesday, I was reading the post "watch for my wife" and noticed the photo of a beautiful yachtmaster. Right next to the YM was a bracelet that I just had to have! I pm'd the poster of the photo, Vincent65, who responded immediately. Not only did he answer all my questions, he answered my prayers too! He told me where he purchased this bracelet but of course, here in NY, they are all gone. Vincent65 offered to see if he could locate one for me. Today, two days later, the coveted bracelet is on the way to me! This man actually took time out of his day and took a train into the city to find a bracelet for someone he doesn't even know. And then he mailed it out the same day! Only on this forum do you find people that are this awesome!
Vincent65, you are truly the best!  Thank you! |

Its funny.. i'm also a newbie and when I first found this forum i thought "oh geez.. another shady 'rolex' forum on the internet talking about the best fakes.." I have to say this forum has been a treasure trove for research and helping me better understand these fine instruments! THank you everyone for the great reading!

Rolexnavel, thank you. You will find the most helpful, informative, intelligent and funny people here! I read posts for over 6 months before I decided on my watch. This place truly has the nicest people you could ever find.
Vincent65 went over and above being helpful and I just wanted everyone to know what an awesome guy he is! |

What a great post. All around, bravo guys.
I've yet to find a greater connect than that of a fellow WIS.

 It's a great story from a man in Switzerland who sent a bracelet to a completely stranger in NY.
