For my 3K Post>>>>>

Hello TRF brethren!!!

I’ve made it to 3000 posts and still here completely sane
I think ...

These past 2.5 years have been a ride for sure ...
Thank you for all the laughs , tears , joyous incomings
shared by one another ... learning and yearning and most of all
being a part of this online family forum that is made up of the
best people from around the world!!!!

With the shortage of all the sports Rolex in some parts of the world
and now hitting home even here in the good ole USA; I thought
I’d post a few pics from my local AD here in Florida... Apparently
They still have some stock... Pic is current as of this past
weekend!!!! Crazy how the holiday season is upon us and we hear of
all the horror stories of low inventory or no stock at all !!!
Just crazy... Cheers to all !!!

Congrats!
I guess I am just a bit out of touch, but that sign about the driver's license and credit card is just a tough one to grasp (and I was born and raised in NYC).
Looking forward to the next 3,000 posts!

I’m assuming myself Neil was implying:
If a Rolex sport model is available that you’d want
(with the all this manufactured scarcity Rolex is
intentionally creating) at an AD ,
how would you purchase it if you don’t have
your DL and CC readily handy...
Because I posted the current sport model inventory
from my local AD...

Neil correct me if I’m wrong or missing it ...

Buying is fine, but just to look at is too much, means you can't just pop in on a whim, you have to come prepared, just everything is getting more regimented.
