I was thinking about making a blog with a gallery of trf member's Rolexes. This way, we could see each other's watches and see who owns what, sort of like a database. Good idea or no?

or

Sounds like alot of work but it would be cool

JPersat · 23 April 2009, 09:02 AM

Yeah, it would be a good idea Kyle....but some members have to get to the safety deposit box to get the rest of the collection.

I suppose that you could develop your own blog... A lot of folks are doing that now-days.

But TRF already has a Watch Gallery with almost 20,000 posts of members and their watches..

Good idea, if it comes into existence, sign me up

kyle L · 23 April 2009, 11:02 AM

Maybe that'll be my summer project. When school is over!

tubojunk · 23 April 2009, 11:14 AM

Good luck if you take this up, seems like a ton of work. Sounds promising

Lubrifar · 23 April 2009, 11:23 AM

Why bother as there are two watch galleries here with over 20,000 posts. This ain't no school project and you wouldn't get graded on it...go enjoy your summer instead.

therolexguy · 23 April 2009, 11:42 AM

I think part of making it would be fun for him. GO FOR IT DUDE!

It's an excellent idea. Make sure you have a face with the watch!

Alan111 · 23 April 2009, 01:40 PM

great idea kyle!

diablojota · 23 April 2009, 01:47 PM

I think that this is a really good idea. If done right, this could be one incredible database.

emagni · 23 April 2009, 01:51 PM

It's an great idea! If you could get every possible rolex at the moment, then add it to the catalog so people just checks which one they own. Then you can list member's user name vertically while listing the pic of the rolex they check off horizontally next to their name.

KKB · 23 April 2009, 03:48 PM

I think it's a great idea!

If it is a database it could be indexed by the watch as well as the member so you could check on a specific model and see which members own one. Great for finding members with interests in whatever watch(es) you are interested in.

kyle L · 11 June 2009, 08:17 AM

Still thinking about this. Now that all my finals and studying is over, its time to party! School ends on monday.

sea-dweller · 11 June 2009, 10:19 AM

Go for it !

Watchdog · 11 June 2009, 10:22 AM

I admire the initiative!

I'll try starting this weekend. Feel free to give me suggestions! (Layout, organization, name, etc...)

allanofcalifornia · 11 June 2009, 10:34 AM

I thought this was the purpose of the Rolex Watch Gallery section and the Please Show Me Your Face (With Your Rolex Of Course!!!) thread.

A couple sentences about the watch ex. I bought it in 1977, etc....
