Part of the enjoyment of a forum is the interaction with others
Search is cold...............would rather get to meet people and and interact. NBs want to develop a rapport. At least I do :)

WIS = Watch Idiot Savant. 1.A person self trained to sleep in 5 positions while wearing his/her COSC certified chronometer in bed. 2.A person who opens the back of a new Patek on the first day of acquisition and hand winds the rotor to tighten up the main spring. 3. A person who takes his 2000 meter water proof Rolex SD off from the wrist. And puts it into the deepest pocket,and three plastic bags before walking into a rain storm without any rain gear on. 4.A person who waits every 5 minute in front of his radio controlled clock in order to adjust all his/her 14 mechanical watches to the accuracy within -2/+2 seconds per 24 hours. 5. A person who can memorises all serial numbers of the Rolex watches made in the past 60 years but keeps forgetting the wifes wedding anniversary. 6. A person who washes his/her watch in luxury shampoo,polishes with specially bought cloth.Then rests it on another specially bought cloth just encase they scratch the stainless steel. And reading the many many posts on TRF we sure now have quite a few above. __________________
