Howdy, gents! My name's John and it's about time I joined this fine forum you guys got goin'. I'll give a brief bio, so that I won't remain a stranger for long.
I like watches, always have. But, until about 3 years ago the only watch I had that was halfway decent was a Citizen. Then I met Ralph.

We work together and he's been a great friend, although because of him I can't even begin to count how many thousands of $$$$'s I've spent on watches!

He really turned me on to fine swiss watches and it's been all down hill from then on. It seems all we do is discuss watches, bikes, and cigars; but, what else is there in life?

Now, I'd like to pay respect to the watches I've had and had to sell along the way for other bigger and greater things (a moment of silence, if you please): wht dial Rolex Explorer II, Rolex Submariner, Rolex Yachtmaster, titanium Panerai Submersible, Omega Speedmaster (Last Man on the Moon; thanks for the great price Ralph!), Omega Speedmaster (From the Moon to Mars Ltd Ed), Tag Heuer:Monza, Monaco, and Formula 1. You were all great watches and I miss you dearly.

But, now on to the current lineup!
Sitting in the watch box now (and waiting for the watch winder I ordered a week ago!) we have: Tag Heuer Carrera, Omega Speedmaster (I seriously LOVE this watch!), Panerai Luminor Marina (it's the one in my avatar), and a Breitling Chrono-Matic. Man, that's the first time I ever listed my watches. Jesus, Ralph! I could've had a downpayment for a house by now!

Anywho, I'm glad to be here and can't wait to get into some conversations with you all. Oh, and I'll post some pics this weekend b/c I'm pretty sure I still have pics of all of the fallen soldiers, too. Damn, I really do miss them! Later guys!!

Welcome to this great forum, JB. Don't mind my calling you JB, uh...just so as to avoid confusion with the other Johns that are on this forum.

You seem to have "lost" quite a few Rolex beauties along the way. No worries, I've done the same too over the last bloody 25 years.

But, now that you're here, enjoy yourself and post as many pics as you possibly can. We'd love to see them all. These guys get sick and tired of my pics.

But then I can't say I really blame them!!

Cheers - JJ

Welcome to TRF Johnny B (your last name's not good, is it?

)

Welcome to TRF, JB (I'll keep with the tradition JJ has started to differentiate the Johns

). Glad you could join our crazy fun bunch here. However, I wouldn't go around touting a reference from Ralph. He's still on our watch list (pun intended). So be careful. We ban people for associating with Ralph.

But seriously, stick around and contribute to the fun around here. And do post some pics. We love to drool over peoples' past and present collections.
