Icon12 contacts & friends...

im relatively new to both rolexes and to this forum...

i love to learn about the watches that interest me but also the members who visit this superb forum!

i am fortunate to have this medium to communicate with people around the world that otherwise i would never have the pleasure of interacting with. in the few months here, members through their posts have made me think, smile, and laugh...

what were total strangers are now my contacts and some even friends with which i email, text and speak with frequently. as you can never have too many friends, please free to add me as a contact... hopefully we can all be friends!

Since the only people that will talk with me are hookers, probation officers and psychiatrists; yea I sort of like you guys because this Rolex problem is a little bit cheaper than my normal reality. God forbid if James starts billing me by the hour or by the post.

A wise old collector once told me there are no strangers in this hobby....only friends who have never met.

I wonder if he got it from that Simpsons episode where Marge plays Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire, where the cast sings "A stranger is just a friend you haven't met!"

I definitely agree, 99.9% of the people on this great forum are fantastic people. I'm very grateful to be a member of such camaraderie and friendship, and all of us have at least one thing in common

p.s. Friendship request sent!
