Recently I heard many people say, oh I missed that thread, I never read that subforum.

Made me wonder, maybe it's my female curiosity, but I feel like I don't want to miss a topic, if I'm here.

So I always, here and on other forums, go to

New posts link (or today's posts) and scroll over topics that don't get my attention and read those that do, regardless which subforum they belong to.

On Tapatalk, it's the timeline link.

What about you?
Do you do the same or do you read only specific topics?

Maybe I should make this a poll...

superdog · 16 August 2018, 03:28 AM

I go to:

Open discussion
Rolex (less so these days)
Omega

That’s about it. I spend most if my time here.

And I’ll check out the jokes and meet up from time to time.

dddrees · 16 August 2018, 03:36 AM

Different forums different methods due to different interests. Open discussion here only.

Dan Pierce · 16 August 2018, 03:37 AM

Ferdelious · 16 August 2018, 03:37 AM

Open discussion first, Rolex discussion second. Occasionally I'll scour the classifieds but that can only get me into trouble.

Rolex addict · 16 August 2018, 03:49 AM

Over the years, I've met quite a few TRFers. I browse the different sections to see what they post and keep up with them. Occasionally, give them some good natured ribbing.

Open Forum mostly.

Then a mix of a lot with quick scanning.

SearChart · 16 August 2018, 04:20 AM

I check a few different subforums and click on anything I might find interesting.

Meeting fellow TRFers is the best, I've also met quite a few now, funny how we are all so different yet one thing connects us all.

Kneecough · 16 August 2018, 05:57 AM

Primarily by sub-forum, always open discussion, sometimes Rolex.

Don't feel bad for Seth. He deserved that beating for not reaching out to such an awesome guy like Paul and we gladly gave it to him.

Actually, I texted him this morning and poked at that wound a little more.

Etschell · 16 August 2018, 06:53 AM

subforums:

rolex open
rolex reviews
rolex vintage sometimes
open discussion
meeting place
watchout

i use watchrecon to browse listings - i find it better because i can see the watch before clicking.

droptopman · 16 August 2018, 07:16 AM

Spend more time on tapatalk on my phone than my computer. On tapatalk I can view by timeline which includes all forums and subforums so see a lot more than on my computer. Actually my preferred way to view the forum. Get to see stuff I normally would not look at.
On my desktop usually check the Rolex and open discussion sections the most. Still spend time in the vintage Rolex section but do not post much in there anymore since I sold all my vintage.

Chiboy · 16 August 2018, 07:19 AM

Hmmmm. I went 90% to Rolex sub-forum and 10% to For Sale forum when I first started. I probably didn't happen upon Open forum for a year and a half. I now also go to Patek sub-forum even though I'm not in the market for one and don't own one. But the perspective there is somewhat different than the Rolex sub-forum (why can't I buy a SS pro? where will the price of this be in five years? what is the best discount/premium now? can I wear a dive watch in the pool?).

Open sub-forum has been surprisingly interesting and I've been checking it a lot more than I used to.

Colin G · 16 August 2018, 07:25 AM

No rhyme or reason to my choices. I start with Open Discussion then move around the forum from there. Depends on my mood.

Sometimes I laugh and quietly heckle the 'investment or safe to wear' threads then move onto whatever I feel. Sometimes the vintage forum, sometimes Rolex forum then maybe classifieds.

RW16610 · 16 August 2018, 08:10 AM

I mainly read / post in the open discussion section as well. Haven't spent much time elsewhere lately.

SG56 · 16 August 2018, 08:20 AM

I haven't realized how many people don't use new posts link.
Very interesting!

Brew · 16 August 2018, 08:20 AM

1) New posts
2) Rolex general

I prefer my computer because my eyes are not young!
I start with the Open Discussion section. That's where most of my friends are. I look at Rolex General almost daily. I look at other washes a couple of times a week!
