The kindness of a fellow trf member

Many of you may have seen that I was looking to buy a box and books for my 16610. I have alway owened pre loved Rolex watches as I enjoy the hunt and yes the savings. Well in doing this I have never had my watches with Box and books or papers :( .Thus i wanted to buy a box and books , and next time my SUB needed service i would send it to ROLEX so that I would have documentation on it.
Well just hours after I posted in the wanting to buy section, a member whom I have sent pm's back and forth with a month or so ago about something completely diffrent. PM'd me stating that he may have the Box i was looking for Well in fact he did I was so happy when he told me that he would ship it on Tuesday.
And now next time he is in town i have the honor of takeing him out for a drink or dinner or both!!!! (what a deal) I would have loved to do it anyways..

I know i got a little long winded but i just cant get over it all...
Thanks TimeToGo (Norman)

Now for some pics

Well done to TRF and congratulations Christopher in getting your bits.

Great story! I'm loving it here. Great place and really great people. I have participated in other forums and they were cut throat and honestly pretty nasty. This place just feels right.
