Influences...
Is there anyone here at TRF that has influenced you to buy a particular Rolex, either directly or indirectly?
I'll start. Indirectly, Dan Pierce. After looking at his stunning pics of his beautiful Tudors, I bought my first Tudor Chrono. If it hadn't been for his pics, I don't think I would have ever considered buying one. Thanks Dan!!! |

Actually for me it I always wanted to buy the datejust for me until I saw a realestate broker wearing the older 2tone gmt... I almost immediately got the new TT gmt 2C without even trying it! once the deal went through ;) i even didnt knew how to set the time via the independant hour hand!! i had to look up youtube! and then thats how i found TRF!

After seeing Dan & Mike's (TRF Moderator) fabulous GMT II's, I have to admit, I looked closer at making one of those my next watch.
Both of these guys were also a WEALTH of info re: Coke Vs. Pepsi questions / parts / etc. etc. Now I am looking for a Mint Super Jubilee bracelet! D*rn you Dan!!! |

I wanted a DSSD for a while, but seeing Mike's (moderator) at the Cincy/N.Ky GTG was the final nail in the coffin....

I knew a Dentist once. He steered me clear of my darkened path by making me realize there were those worse off than me.

Yes, it was Eddie (directioneng).
I was so keen on getting a TT DJ-II, but he convinced me to first try out the TT GMT-IIC. So I went over to my AD and had the Manager place both watches side-by-side......and the rest, as they say, is history!!

Dan has definitely inspired me to seriously consider Tudors. They weren't even on my radar before I joined here, but they are now. Larry and Mike's beautiful photos also continually stoke my desires to acquire more Rolex watches, especially those of the vintage variety.
