Whre am I?

In August, after visiting 'another' Rolex forum, I was advised to take a look here. I expected a mature Rolex forum, brimming with watch related subjects full of technical expertise and daily, lengthy discussions over how the typeface on Rolex dials and bezels has gradually changed over the years.

Instead of that I was drawn into something that at best can be described as a cross between a merry-go-round gone haywire and the Psychiatric wing of the Bellevue Hospital (the ‘padded room’ department).

And I like it!

Obviously, Frans, whoever pointed you in this direction does not like you. Why else would they have sent an otherwise sane individual into Bedlam. If I were you, I would go back that other place and torture the person who sent you here. However, I have a feeling you can't do that. Once you are here you become tainted. No one outside TRF will want to have anything to do with you.

I wish I could help you, but I'm just another lost soul here, myself.

Hey Frans,

You've become so tainted with this madness, you've even got the spelling of a simple word like "where" wrong in your thread title!!!

So please give me 50 for that careless mistake and you might want to insert an 'o' in the middle to see what you get!!!!

JJ, this was a test and you have passed! You can pick up your prize at Mansor’s. It’s a TT Daytona. It will be presented to you by a very lovely lady with a cleavage so deep you will drown. Don’t forget your swimming cap.

I wouldn't worry about it - JJ's worn his swimming cap in every photo I've seen of him.

I know, that's why I made the remark: it never fails!
