For my rant a few weeks ago. Wasn't like me and I'm sorry. Truth of the matter is, I've gone back 'n forth between a lot of different brands, and I like a lot of different brand, but when it comes right down to it I love Rolex. I can't even tell you why. They're not the most up to date watches in the world, and there's a lot about Rolex that I'll bitch about. But when I look at spending an equivalent amount on brands favoured by the watch snobs, I just can't see it. I'd rather buy a Rolex.

So, I'm officially coming out of the stuffy TZ closet and proclaiming that I really don't give a rats arse what those snobs think. Of all the watches I've owned, I regret selling every Rollie (save the tt sub, lol) and my PAM 111. The others, I can live without. At least we still have 3 Rollies, and I intend to regain a few I sold even if it takes the rest of my life, and it may well do seeing as how I'm now self employed and poor

I've stayed away for awhile, but I've missed you screwballs

So, I"m sat here with my tiny little Explorer, because it's still my fav watch and it makes me feel good. Me and this lil guy have been through hell together, and it's not ever going anywhere without me! Hope you guys will take me back.

Cheers

Bruce

Dunno what there was to apologise for, but what the hell, it's accepted.

Welcome back, Bruce, and pop by more often!

mailman · 15 August 2006, 11:14 AM

Hope you can become as much a regular as time will let you. Here's a beer for ya pal

Say hi to Tam and Josh.

maverick · 15 August 2006, 11:39 AM

Sorry, couldn't resist, Bruce. But if you can tell a person's character by seeing and reading posts I cannot fathom you having much of a rant. In any case I am sure you are more than welcome on this forum. I hope you are enjoying and adjusting to England.

BruceS · 15 August 2006, 07:26 PM

Thanks a lot guys! Much appreciated. I'll try to be around more now. Getting really busy all of a sudden though getting a business set up. Should be going live in the next week or so, but I've still got a lot of details yet to handle. All I'll say about it now is that it's watch related. More on it later.....

Just to turn this into a watch thread, I'm wearing my trusty Explorer today

Cheers,
Bruce

Lol-x · 15 August 2006, 09:16 PM

That's a great watch & photo Bruce.
The Explorer is a great watch to wear and you will have no problem enjoying.
Cheers

Earl · 15 August 2006, 09:23 PM

Now to critique your picture.... hmmmmmmm I think you need to send that Explorer in to have the seconds hand changed... it seems to be bent or jittery..?!*

No mistake on Bruce's part, Rusi. He merely moved over to the U.K. from the USA!!
