Today, I have been a TRF member for two years….....and here's the damage, so far!

Came here two years ago, today, to bring myself up to speed, as I was thinking of purchasing "a" (as in ONE) TT GMTIIc 116713, since I had been out of watch collecting/buying/selling for at least 15 years, and evidently, once one starts again, there can never be "just one"....

So now, we have these guys....


And this one....


And finally, this guy.......


Well, at least I flipped this one......



All in less than two years! This place is Dangerous!!

G-d help me if I jump back into Vintage, Patek, or A. Lange.......

Seriously, thanks for all the enabling!! Little did I know I would come for the information, and stay for friendships!!

Yes TRF is a really dangerous place . . .

I am a member from '09 but wasn't visiting & posting until beginning of this year . . .

Now I know why . . . 3000 post further and 3 Rolex . . . and still 3 months to go in 2012 . . . and Santa has to pass our home . . . ;-)

But I really enjoy reading on TRF . . . relaxes me . . . sometimes ;-)

TRF is really an evil place...bought and sold a whole lot of watches for sure. I think Oscar can retire on my watches alone.

Nice collection, congrats!!

For me, first didnt "think" I like the rolexes, now have a few and don´t want to use a different brand. For example, use to think the DJ 36mm was too small and "grey", today I´m using one 2 tone, black dial, 36mm and really like it haha :p

Nathan....you have a most excellent collection of Wilsdorf clan timepieces!
You don't need any other brands......a Rolex/Tudor is a Rolex/Tudor...the rest are just watches.
