I would never show my interest in expensive watches or TRF infront of my in laws or parents. The would consider me crazy and inmature for spending that much amount of money on a watch while i can get any watch to tell me the time for $200

My wife knows that watches are one of my passions along with TRF. Also my family is aware of my passion and would have no problem with me looking at the site.

My computer is always on & as soon as I sit down at my desk the first thing I do is log on to TRF. I also might have a tiny problem with obsession.

Okay so I see the concensus is most of us feel a litttle bit of heat when TRFing in public. Im glad im not the only one. It also seems like the more posts TRF members have the less shame they have. I guess I need to up my anty.

I take a look at TRF when I'm at school sometimes, I don't really hide it but I don't try to let everybody know I'm looking at Rolex watches all the time! My family knows I'm on a watches forum and they don't really care so I don't have any problems at home.

I check TRF all the time. My notebook computer, that I keep at work has a problem with some type of script running that slows viewing down and it is aggravating.

I don't know how to fix it, otherwise I would be on TRF all day at work....

I am not ashamed of the forum, or of being a watch nut, or of what I paid to have this watch on my wrist. I could have gotten a SS Submariner or Deep Sea / or old Sea Dweller for less than what I spent. I look at my watch and being on the forum as a pleasure and a reward for working all these years. I deserve it. All of you deserve it too!!

Don't let others belittle you for something that you enjoy and that is a good hobby. Better than gambling or a host of other vices much more destructive than a watch habit

TRF is rich with media and links - it could be the business firewall scanning that before passing them on to your browser to display the thread(s)

Have you tried turning your computer off and on again Kaya?

The hospital only allows 1 hour internet access a day, so I spend it on TRF. Then it's back to my room/cell. Cuckoo.

That is probably the issue. I am not at the hospital, but at an office and we are using the computers all day. But we do have a hidden server that doesn't show up when you look for a connection.

You have to know the server info to access the wireless server. But why would it ONLY do it with TRF. I can look at everything else, news websites, other forums without the same problem.

It is also the same if I turn the computer back on and then off.

It says the script is slowing down my computer and would I like to turn it off. Each page takes about 2 or 3 minutes before it will load.

I look at TRF when I visit my mom, grandparents, around my partner. Yesterday my hubby went over to Verizon with our laptop to get it connected to the internet and when it connected to the hotspot device the homepage that came up was TRF, the guy at the Verizon store was surprised and told my partner that he had a Sub, however he was disappointed that it was not my partner who had the Rolex disease.
