Have not posted any pictures because I feel that I have already won just being able to be a member of TRF.

Thanks to you and the Moderators for all the time, effort, money, lack of salary

, and just all around good vibes that have been given.

Nice jesture on your part with the give-a-way.

My thoughts exactly. Well said Joe.

Thanks Joe I really appreciate that coming for you, and I'm sure the moderators do too

Lol-x · 31 March 2008, 12:42 PM

I just thought someone might like this as a give-away instead

Not mine to give away either, borrowed from a car forum

If a picture is worth a thousand words, is this one worth a book?

A Rolex trifecta -- a Sea-Dweller, Daytona and Jurist for the Rolex Awards for Enterpirse all in the same picture, taken at 12,460 feet. Hmmmmm.

Many thanks to everyone who participated in this giveaway

Sorry for the delay but I have been away for the last couple of days.

Congrats Jimbits the moderators have judged you to be the winner of the book.

Jimbits please PM to me your postal name and address for it to be sent out to you.

jasonbellevue · 5 April 2008, 06:22 PM

Congratulations Jimbits!

Jimbits76 · 5 April 2008, 07:55 PM

Wow!!!!!!

Thanks guys. I have never won anything before in my life.

All I wanted to do was use the opportunity to tell the story of a material object that has surpassed it's material value and has a place forever in my heart. I'm sure many of you or your descendants will feel the same way about your watches in years to come.

My wife has congratulated me but was upset that the mods have now given me further license to love the sound of my own voice/prose!!!!!!

Thanks again all, I truly love this place!

James "Jim" Lewis

PS Jon...I know you truly wanted this prize...I owe you many a pint at the London GTG!!!!

Jim, congratulations!
BTW, have you (or your dad) kept all these Rollies catalogues over the years? You might be sitting on a mini fortune there too

Jimbits76 · 5 April 2008, 08:07 PM

Thanks Kai...I wish!!!!!

I've a feeling my old man may have a few in his safe...they're not for me!!!
