14 watches. 27 years. Collection complete

[dr35mm]

Thank you so much for this amazing thread! This thread is the perfect reminder that at the end of the day, these are all about being tools for our lives. I myself like traveling and adventuring a bit, al though most wont see my watch ideal for this, it does the job plus bringing a big smile every time y see it. Next year will be doing some asian exploration with it, Great Wall of China, Tokyo, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Shanghai and a bit more remote places in Japan. If I don't feel 100% comfortable doing this with pcls, I'll just switch to rubber. My one and only:



Thanks again!!

Time to stop horsing around; again wishing you a speedy recovery.

Perhaps staying in the saddle and not jumping while on the horse would serve you well.

I have to admit that I enjoy seeing this thread revived from time to time, as it gives me an opportunity to re-read through this amazing saga.

May you recover soon, my friend.

Steve,

as many have said, this is the most amazing thread on TRF and one of the most interesting life stories I've ever come across. I just spent my Saturday morning reading and enjoying every single page. WOW!

Your story is inspiring and full of love, life, and passion.

I wish you all the best and hope we get to read many more of your posts.

The life is not always fair, but we come out of it stronger and just like the marks on our watches, the scars that are left help us remember of the life journey with all its goods and bads.

Again, my best wishes to you!

Steve - sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story. Being relatively new to the forum, I have yet to read through this thread in it's entirety. But it has given me a new appreciation for the ultimate tool watch that Rolex can be. I've never seen anyone come under such scrutiny for a post on a forum (even a moderator criticized your IP locations, honestly troubling to me). There is great variety in human behavior and condition. But I'm happy to see that the thread itself has turned into an expedition of sorts that all can appreciate with some basic patience and understanding!

[chrito]

congrats.

Steve,

Thank you for sharing your journeys with us through this amazing thread. I was glued to it from start to finish. I will get some of the books that you recommend for this amazing topic.

You are a good man.

Here is one my favourite watches, a recent purchase to celebrate a major milestone. A picture from today and bump to this wonderful thread.

It’s an amazing watch.

This is defiantly photoshopped, and not well. Look at the little white parts around your arm and who would be crazy enough to wear short sleeves at the North Pole

It’s already 5:37pm and I’m still at work because I couldn’t stop reading this thread. Thanks Steve for sharing your life story, and thank you to whoever revived the thread. I agree this thread should be a sticky for all new members to read.
