Welcome to TRF. Which Rollies do you own? We here at TRF are not only watch-a-holics, but we like photos of watches very much as well. So, if you find the time, we'd love to see pics of your watches as well!

Thanks for the photos, GD. Very nice collection indeed! I like a varied collection like yours. I have striven for the same results with mine:
 Cheers, and enjoy your times on TRF!

I am not into Gold watches. The only reason why I have a TT Daytona was we got tired of waiting (over a year) for an SS. Wife and I went to Portland, Oregon last week and she said: "I'm getting tired of this long wait, better get the TT before I change my mind." Man, she twisted my arm very hard.  No sales tax in Oregon, plus the AD gave us 10% discount for opening an account with them (did not have to use it, just open an account). All-in-all we saved almost $3,000 (taxes and discount). Spent about $80.00 in gas, we're still waaaay ahead if we bought locally with MSRP and 8.88% sales tax. Did I say my wife is a very generous woman?

I, of course, think the Daytona is the finest specimen in your collection, and that getting tired of waiting was most fortuitous. But then...that's just me!  Good work, and cheers to your very generous wife!
