Just wanted to say hello as I am new TRF pledge member...

I have lots of hobbies and interests and have always had an appreciation for luxury time pieces. I am at a point in my life where I would like to learn more about watches and add to my small watch collection.

There are six or so Rolexes that have caught my eye including: Hulk, Kermit, Batman, DeepSea D-Blue Dial, new Daytona C white dial, and the new Skydweller blue dial... just to name a few.

Also have some strong attraction to Patek and JLC time pieces as well. So hopefully over the course of several years some of these time pieces will end up in my watch case.

I just finished reading Collecting Luxury Watches by Leonard Lowe on our cruise last December. I enjoyed it and gained some insight into the watch world. I am looking for other good books on this subject if anyone has ones to suggest.

I am also a big fan of Ben Clymer and his Hodinkee videos on youtube, especially the one featuring John Mayer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeu6Vj3M0EI

And of course I am learning a lot from the members here which as been a big help.

Since most of us like photos I will leave you with this one I took yesterday walking my dog Fleury. Named after Marc Andre Fleury the ex Pen's goalie...

Thanks...

Sorry it shows up on my computer. But it looks like Photobucket now charges to share photos. In the old days it was free. Guess I will be looking for a new way to post them...

You can through here man. Go advanced editing and attach the image. Make sure it has been resized to 1250 x 1250 max or something like this. There are some kilobyte restrictions too.

Boaters · 21 January 2018, 01:47 AM

Welcome and a nice collection Bluesy and a SubC two great one's..

I attached it but it comes in a small stamp size... Will have to learn how to get in a larger format.

Welcome to TRF from a fellow Houstonian. The Tapatalk app is the easiest way to post pictures. I have it on my iPhone and iPad but not sure if there is a laptop version of the app.

Welcome aboard!

Use one of the online resizing services. Just upload the image and edit its properties once uploaded. Make sure max is no more than 1250. Also adjust compression (normal compression) so that it does not exceed 140kb and voila!
I use http://resizeimage.net/

Otherwise you can upload via tapatalk as it does it automatically.
