part of the rolex fun is flipping... well not really it's quite painful letting go. anyway now that i'm considered a flipper i've flipped 6 rolex watches in 8 months yes and the best part is i've made new friends by flipping them and they are all trf members and three of them i actually met in person.

i met 3 trf members in person and became my good buds!

how many do you know?

ijen0311 · 28 May 2009, 11:43 AM

Good question!

Buz-lh sold me dad's Bluesy, and I'll always consider him a friend thanks to that bond. We spoke on the phone a bit but never met, hopefully we will soon!

Quite close with one or two members, and great acquaintances with others.

Diablojota and I have a date on June 6th, so he will be personally known to me after that

Idle Swede · 28 May 2009, 11:46 AM

I'm fairly new to this forum so haven't had a chance to meet to many members personally.

I've probably only met about 30 - 40 so far...

kyle L · 28 May 2009, 11:46 AM

Well ones my brother...and One I bought my Omega from. That makes two!

allanofcalifornia · 28 May 2009, 11:48 AM

Me, myself and I.

Hopefully someday I will be able to meet the TRFers around San Francisco. Maybe someone will plan a TRF barbeque in the bay area.

Yep, after that it becomes officially official. I will personally know you and you will personally know me.

kcmo · 28 May 2009, 11:49 AM

I've had the opportunity to meet one member in person! I've chatted with a couple on Skype and many via PMs and emails! Such a great community!

Mike B · 28 May 2009, 12:03 PM

Thanks Dan !!! I was going to say the same thing !
I've met MANY TRF members at the Kentucky meet !
Good times !! It's sooo cool to actually meet the people you interact with on the internet, in person. We found we have a lot of things in common. I'm glad I made some new friends !! Of course, there is many people on the forums that I've never met that I still consider my friend anyway :)

chenx15 · 28 May 2009, 12:04 PM

Dan! you are amazingly tall man!!!

Launch Mini · 28 May 2009, 12:06 PM

At various times, I am guessing I have met 7 current & past members.
Chatted with a number on the phone, feels like I've met them & been long time friends.

Alcan · 28 May 2009, 12:08 PM

"how many trf members do you personally know???"

Hmm... define "personally". Away36 cooks me great dinners then tells me where to dig holes for her garden plants. Does that count?

AIKO · 28 May 2009, 01:07 PM

Looked like you guys had a great time.

What did you guys do when you got together?

vh_bu98 · 28 May 2009, 02:28 PM

I have met 4 people from the forum. I'm trying to increase that number but something always come up. It's really difficult to get schedules in sync.

C. Davidson · 28 May 2009, 03:45 PM

Eight...so far.

Gaijin · 28 May 2009, 03:49 PM

Downing? Downing? Remember him? Great guy. He disappeared off the face of the Earth.

Lamone · 28 May 2009, 04:22 PM

None yet.

acce1999 · 28 May 2009, 04:47 PM

Haven't met a single one of you in real life (to the best of my knowledge), and I am not high on post count... but it feels like I know a huge bunch here ;-)

This is a very friendly and welcoming forum!

Best,

A

JJ Irani · 28 May 2009, 04:54 PM

I've personally met just 2 guys - Eddie (directioneng) and Ed (Rockrolex).....and of course, Don (sub2004) from whom I purchased Bluesy last Dec.

JJ

swatty · 28 May 2009, 07:00 PM

None yet , but hoping to meet a few in 2 weeks time

SDDS · 28 May 2009, 08:13 PM

till now none..but i have to meet with someone someday....because all TRF members are really true friends.....

roamer · 28 May 2009, 11:17 PM

Just one. ASTCell. I actually knew him before I came to TRF and was kind of surprised when I saw him posting on the board.

It would be nice to meet more. Maybe a MD/DC/VA get together followed by crawling the local ADs to get group discounts

The GMT Master · 28 May 2009, 11:57 PM

I met Umster last weekend, absolutely a top bloke
