This Forum
I just wanted to say how much I like this forum and all of you in it..I never thought that you could take so many people from different walks of life that can come together over the love of watches and specifically Rolex...here is my quick story..I'm forty years old and have wanted a Rolex for as long as I can remember...my wife finally gave me a pass to get the watch of my dreams...I found this forum and was blown away by how friendly everyone was helping me make my decision on which model (Submariner!) Then I got a private message from a member who sent me to his ad who gave me an amazing deal...I made my down payment and should be getting it within a couple weeks at which time I will promptly upload some pics...I have enjoyed reading post after post from friendly people offering advice and opinions..You all deserve to be complimented on your demeanor and willingness to be so helpful to total strangers...I think the world could learn a lot from this community....from my family to all of yours I would like to wish all of you a very Happy New Year...may it bring you lots of joy and peace....Cheers
Michael |

Yes, it's a great forum, and I'm glad you found the watch you've always wanted. It's a great thing to have happen. Hope you did your research and will get it from a trusted seller. Look forward to the pix.

Welcome Michael and I echo your sentiment. I think there is a special bond found within the WIS community. Heck, I feel as if I met someone while travelling half way across the world from this forum that I'd end up with an invite for dinner... just because.

I ahem heart this forum. Without it, I would drive my family insane with my complete adoration for my watch.
 Happy New Year, and may your Sub bring you smiles daily!

Congrats, can't wait to see the wrist shots. This forum is a great place to be and the people are some of the best on the net. Most go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.
