You know whats funny?

On other forums Rolex owners are noting as being stuck up punkasses that dont know squat about watches. We are supposed the scum of the WIS world. This is not true, I hated JJ when he was an Omega owner too


Seriously guys, everyone here is fun and knowledgable, I enjoy my time here and love watching this site grow.

My new friends here such as JJ, Dman, Jiminey Cricket and Tiny tim have been great, that REV guy I dont know about...what has he ever done for us


To all the new comers have fun here, dont mind the joking around here we are really a nice bunch of guys (with the exception of me)


Well since this is the Rolex Forum I guess its time for my gratuous watch shots

LMAO at that first pic. And that shot on the watch stands is AWESOME!! Looks like it is out of a store mate.

I agree, the members here don't have the horological knowledge of all brands, but Rolex is known pretty damn good inside and out.

Bah thats what they would say on other boards. Like everywhere else most Rolex owning WISs know and own other brands as well.

I make no bones about the fact that I can't quote PP movements and what the differences in them are, but I do know what makes a Rolex tick, for the most part. And the knowledge with Panerai is increasing everyday.

Thanks, I keep thinking that a TT Daytona might fit the collection nicer than a SS one. Oh well wait till my name comes up on the list (only a few more months to go) get it first then decide.

Roger my friend, the lighting is fine, but you could clean the crystal on the SD.

Roger a word of advice... if you want better lighting, don't shoot into your computer screen.

Nice collection, btw. I think the SS Daytona is over-rated and over-priced. Get a TT one and get it at a better price than a SS one!

Just don't use the Purell in the background to do so. . .the alcohol could dry out the gaskets, you know.
