The helpfulness of the members, the mods, the cool watches. I've never encountered anything but a positive, helpful attitude on this forum. But I'm the type who skips over any threads that take a negative turn.

I like the friendly, polite people here.
The Open Discussion Forum is interesting & insightful. We have a good cross section of people and that makes for great discussions.
TRF is an oasis of civility in an Internet that is too often a cesspool of trolls.

I have to agree! I also enjoyed the GTG in Beverly Hills, that enabled me to meet some of those great people and see their watches.

Honorable Mention: Ken the Troll Killer, without whom this place would not be the same.

TRF is definitely more upscale on multiple fronts than the other watch forums. That's what draws me in. Most of the sellers are seasoned and know their business. I've been on the other watch forums off and on for years and when I came to TRF I could tell right off the bat that the info and the caliber of content was a cut above. And who is responsible for that: The members!

What do you like about TRF? Let's inject some positivity.

It's a lot like premium cable. You get a lot of stuff you might not like or want, but once you find the "channels" you like... You forget about the other 600 you don't care about and enjoy the heck out of the ones you like.

I like the ad free environment.

I like the easy to navigate and layout of the forum.

I like that you're able to express your opinion freely without being flamed.

I like the quality and respectfull tone of the forum and it's members.

I like the sales forum and the great deals offerred.

Closest thing to a Rolex theme park. It's a fun place to be.

What I like about the forum is some of the lasting friendships that I have made here. Almost daily, I have a phone conversation with someone that is a member here.

Icon7 What do you like about TRF? Let's inject some positivity.

Anonymity, a sense of common love for watches, creativity in photos and writing, sharing, learning and developing friendship's with others I may not have otherwise had a chance to get to know.

I joined loving Rolex and not owning one now I have 5.


The reviews and WRUW are amazing. The knowledge and passion for the timepieces are truly remarkable..

Think when you go to a AD and ask:
What are your thoughts on a triple 6
Explain a service dial to rep.
Get offered a job
