Too many other interesting brands to discover and enjoy. Rolex is great for what it is, but it ain't the be-all and end-all in my books.

And amazingly, this forum stands out as a shining example to all Rolex forums to be more 'panerai-like' in brotherhood and disposition.
This is an egalitarian forum, John. We accept even misguided fools gracefully.

I would say this forum is better that the Panerai forums I've visited.
I was welcomed with open arms here on my first post. I've posted a few on a couple of Panny forums, barely got a response.
This forums format is also better than any others I've seen.

John, it's hard to disagree with you. But also, Paneristi and viapaneristi have been around forever and have way more members, so you can get lost in the crowd. I've had questions left unanswered for weeks on both forums cuz I'm an 'unknown'. However Panereh is very much like here in terms of welcoming and friendliness, but then again, they have fewer than half as many active members as we do.

But if you've seen other Rolex forums, you quickly find out that this one is by far the most fun, with the most leanient and evenhanded mods, and most colourful by far. The others are either run by militant egomaniacs, and/or attract the WIS-wannabe-I-wear-a-rolex-cuz-I'm-rich-and-want-you-to-stroke-my-massive-ego types. I think we know them when we see them. They stand out like a sore thumb here and leave pretty quickly when the stroking isn't apparent.

BTW, this place rocks!
