Thank you TRF...this is my 5000th post...and I love it here!

Four and a half years and 5,000 posts later, I would like to take this opportunity to thank TRF.

Steve and the Mods......you do a fantastic job of keeping this place the delightful, intelligent, fun and charming place that I have come to know and love.

To the many friends that I have made here, and in particular to those that I have met up with in the real world, I say this....it’s always a pleasure, and not all good things come to an end.

My tastes have changed since first coming here, and so has has my little collection. I had 3 watches when I joined TRF, and today I have 5. I have, however bought and sold a further six or seven pieces during this time.

I wish all TRFers health, wealth, and happiness. May we count our blessings, and may we be able to continue to feed the habit that this forum so readily supplies!

Thank you TRF.

Every picture I have ever posted has been taken with an iPhone (currently the X), and I had never heard of such a thing as a “wrist shot” before joining TRF!
