Greetings
Hi Gang: Jus thought I'd post a quick hello to TRF after a long absence.
Where was I? Well, after losing my job of 25 years, suffering an illness and the passing of both parents, things were kinda' glum. I had to sell off some vintage guitars, luxury items and back-scale my lifestyle significantly. ("Back-scale"...is that even a word? ) The last thing to go was my ultra-cool cherished Rolex Turn-O-Graph. It's now five years later and I'm comfortably retired, (almost) perfectly healthy and the proud owner of a beautiful, sivler dial Datejust on S-Jubilee bracelet. I've been catching up on TRF and can see it's still the classy affair it always was. I missed it, but without owning a Rolex, t'was too painfull to read. So,I'll keep lurking around and enjoy the lively, intelligent discussions for which the forum has always provided. Regards, Mark  Sent from my SGH-I547C using Tapatalk |
