Wow...it took me 7 years to hit 1,000 posts!

Some musings on this occasion:

Had I been smart and hung on to every Rolex I have cycled through I would have a great collection today; however, fickleness took over leaving me with just one (for now)

Like many of us I moved away from the brand for some time but came back. There are a lot of nice watches out there and it was fun to try other brands but I found that in most instances resale was not great...it is a hobby though so losing a little here and there is acceptable I suppose.

Again like many of us my wife does not appreciate the hobby and certainly does not understand why I would spend hours on-line looking at watches. As I type this it DOES sound crazy!

It's interesting to me how you can get to know people on an Internet forum. The one I can't forget of course was JJ.

All in all out of all the watch forums on-line this has been my favorite and has allowed me to become a resident expert on everything Rolex. Neighbors and co-workers are always asking me questions and anything I know about watches I learned here.

So it's been fun hitting 1,000 even if it has taken such a long time.

Cheers to all

Funny how some "i hit X,000 posts' posts get to stick around the main forum, others get banished to TRF Siberia (aka Open Discussion Forum).

If you get a chance to take the New Yankee Stadium tour, do it. Really great, especially the chance to sit in the dugout and to check out the player lockers and NYY carpeting.

Oh yes, my congrats too. Your points are all spot-on. Rolex and TRF are special. This coming from a guy who loves other brands and participates in other brand-specific forums.

It does take you a while to get to 1k posts but it's not about how fast to get there but how you get there. Here's to 1000 more.
