Join the ...Rolex Free Watch Society ..

You are invited to join the Rolex horological Free Watch Society..

This Secret Society only exists on TRF... It is a group of like minded enthusiasts dedicated to ensuring as many Rolex watches are freed from Display Cases throughout the world as possible..

No Rolex should be captive....all should be allowed freedom to cruise and travel the world on the wrist of a Free Watch Society member.. Members should be of a like mind that, whenever possible, a Rolex will be free from the confines of a Dealer, curmudgeon, of other less worthy environment, and find a place of safety and care in the hands of a Free Society member.

If you choose to join, you can display your ... FREE WATCH SOCIETY Stainless Link, identifying you as one of the very few..

Any membership dues?

As good old Groucho Marx once said, I would not want to join a club or organization who would want me as a member. :) j/k.

Do I get to use some kind of secret handshake? How about secret discounts at approved AD's?

Do I get a club approved club to break display cases?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

Hear, hear... I agree, no Rolex should be kept captive in a display case, unless it's my display case.

Larry, you've gone cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

Now, just back away from the cereal cabinet and keep your hands where I can see 'em . . . .

All 'formed' gatherings of this nature require some decent financial backing so that they can achieve their aim. It would seem that you have been seconded to fulfil the financial requirements of the so called 'Gathering'.

Cheers and please feel free to transfer the funds to my account. I'll ensure all funds are distributed on a needs basis. My needs first though.......
