Thank you Peter for all your great knowledge and common sense!

And a loupe, Peter loves those I'm told so that he can get all his alignment points in order!

On a more serious note Peter, thank you for the job that you do here!

Congrats Peter, you do a great job here at keeping things real.

In all seriousness, I have always wandered if you had a series of pre-compiled replies or if you always write down your posts from scratch. I notice that the wording is always a bit different... hence I believe you always take the time to write a unique post. Chapeau to that!!

This place wouldn't be where it is currently at without you Peter. I've been here for a bit and always greatly appreciated your input and sound moderation. Technical knowledge beyond compare, the voice of reason in many instances of idiocy and the comedian in the jokes section. When I think of TRF there are many people (and avatars) that come to mind. You and your frog are always up there. Wish I could meet you one day.

PS Sorry for my lack of participation lately. Life has me busy now with the young ones and new job where I'm drinking from a fire hose.

Get better my friend and here is to another 36k.

Only time I need any magnification device is to read the small print on most packaging today.They use big words for the product but how to use,or how to cook the products they always put in very small print.

I would sooner poke my eyes out with a stick than buy one of those machine things.And as long as I have still got the use of my arms and fingers thats all I need to wind all my watches.

36000 green bottles hanging on the wall.

Keep up the good work Peter, although we sometimes bicker like children, at heart we are all crazy watch enthusiasts!

Best of health to you Peter. I've said before that you have probably forgotten more Rolex information then many of us will ever know.

Good wishes and to 36000 more. On that note, I can't find the LEC on the 16570 Polar I just purchased, any suggestions
