I've met none in person yet, hope to one day.

DSJ · 29 May 2009, 01:12 AM

I've personally met DoxaDavid and Terry Newton, but have talked to numerous members (many of whom I consider friends now!) on the telephone and Skype. The friendships are the best part of TRF.

Bebot · 29 May 2009, 01:49 AM

I did meet Larry (Lauro13) once when he bought my YatchMaster.

tifosi · 29 May 2009, 02:31 AM

I met about 7 members in person at our GTG. I have spoken to 2 of them on the phone more than a couple times since then. I'm ready for another GTG! Philly, Jersey, Deleware...lets go!

i met 3 trf members in person and became my good buds!

Steve (Lol-x), Ron (Wisher), and I enjoyed getting together in Tokyo some time ago.

DRAWTOOL · 29 May 2009, 07:27 AM

Nary a one, they don't let me out much.

rmcarlton · 29 May 2009, 07:57 AM

Zipola. Like to meet some one day.

lobo58 · 29 May 2009, 07:57 AM

Well...hell! We should plan a weekend outing. I suggest JJ's place. New Zealand is amazing.

I met The GMT Master last weekend, Very Hubble and honest person.

I also have spoken to 082013 on the phone, who I consider as a very dear friend and of course my dear friend Abel.

Just now, I spoke with SubmarinerMan also a cool dude

This forums is excellent, I love it

I have wondered about that a lot.

Once I get the TRF Restraining Order lifted, I will try to meet as many members as possible. Now, where the hell is my raincoat and crab snacks.

Eric23 bought his ND sub, tag addict bought his exp.II white dial all the rest are just friends

GinGinD · 29 May 2009, 11:57 AM

I do not know any TRFrs IRL and haven't spoken to any via phone or skype, but I've PMd with a few and all have been delightful.

it's kind of nice to see someone with the same passion. the best part of the gtg is when the waitress doesn't know where to put the food or drink with all the watches on the table.

i met just a couple in person...but all of them are considered the best sellers in the forum...

daytona1 · 29 May 2009, 01:58 PM

I think of him often. What a nice guy!

I've met Vu in person. Hope to someday meet a few more people here - and you know who you are!

I'm not sure if that's a good idea...you may run off with some of these guys.

MrCowboy99 · 29 May 2009, 08:38 PM

I have met two people here in person! Both are great people.

Tombstone · 29 May 2009, 08:51 PM

I have never met any in the "flesh" but I feel I know quite a few. All of them first class people.

2careless · 29 May 2009, 09:51 PM

I suppose living in the same city as the boss has its perks... I've the pleasure to have met Steve, James & Sasha, Michael & Gill, Chris, Don, Gerry, Rene, John, Eddie, and Myvan. If there are others I forgot, please accept my apologies.

Good way to put it!

iSellJerseyShore · 31 May 2009, 06:41 AM

I haven't yet met any of the members in the flesh. I hope to meet as many as possible as time goes by.

I haven't met any yet, though I'm sure someday I will. They seem like real friends so it only seems natural to meet in person and shake their hands.

How far would you travel specifically to meet members?
