TRF didn't push me into buying anything, but certainly helped my knowledge regarding the Rolex line. You guys are great.

Rawhyde · 16 January 2008, 11:54 AM

I already had an Air King and a Tudor Chronograph, but TRF did push me over the edge to get a Blue Sub...

klmore · 16 January 2008, 12:45 PM

I would say that TRF has educated me more on the Rolex product line and as a result I have wanted to purchase more watches. I started checking TRF once a month now I'm checking several times a day.

I would say.......yes.

CPCC · 16 January 2008, 12:55 PM

Totally the electricity of the forum. Was happy with my orginal Rollie, now I can't have enough! More, More, More, More.................

acarriles · 16 January 2008, 01:18 PM

Well, yes indeed!

I've been collecting watches for some time, but was never too much into Rolex. After I started reading TRF I got my first brand spanking new Rolex (Milgauss) and a week later a SS GMT IIc.

Since I didn't absolutely loved the Milgauss, I'll be flipping it this week and I might get this week a new Sea Dweller!

Well, at least this is as fun but a lot less expensive than flipping cars, lol !

DSJ · 16 January 2008, 02:47 PM

I would have bought Bluesy irrespective of TRF. What you guys and gals have done is whetted my appetite for another 1, or 2....!!!

Hey Bgriz, nice Corvette. '65 or '66? The only think I like better than Rolex's are sports cars, and Sting Rays are in my top 2 favorites!

Lubrifar · 16 January 2008, 03:15 PM

It makes me want to own a model each, but just can't decide which one to purchase first. It's a disease I tell ya.

TARDIS · 16 January 2008, 03:42 PM

I have always been fascinated with wrist watches since I was a boy. I had pocket watches until I reached my 16th birthday when my grandfather gave me a Doxa wrist watch. Rolex were always the unreachable dream to me but during the last 5 years I have been lucky enough to buy pre-owned and then work up to a new model.

My self diagnosis indicates that I did have the WIS disease of which TRF is a major contributing factor.
Now that I am settled with my supreme model, I am comfortable posting here and find that the WIS ailment of 'flipping' has finally subsided from my mind!

Cheers
Steve

I got my second ROLEX before I found this site. But, if I get the third one, which is very soon, then I will definitely blame all your guy here.

I think I have pushed TRF over the edge on several occasions!!

vukotab · 16 January 2008, 10:55 PM

That `s the true,JJ!

Trurolexer · 17 January 2008, 12:34 AM

Of course yes. TRF is one of the best Rolex Forums.

mike · 17 January 2008, 12:42 AM

LOL! I like to think of myself as a self made train wreck.

buz-lh · 17 January 2008, 02:42 AM

Hail yeah. See my post. I was perfectly happy with the watch I bought in December until I started reading this forum. Now I need a tool watch fix or a morphine drip.

Gaijin · 17 January 2008, 08:37 AM

JJ was a huge influence on me getting my TT Blue Sub. Rolex should give him a percentage or a commision.

Letsgodiving · 17 January 2008, 08:42 AM

This place is evil. I'm starting hear voices telling me to get way more Rolex watches than I could ever need. I'm having visions of wearing red 1680's and vintage GMT's and having a watch safe! I think I'm losing it. I need help.

Lol-x · 17 January 2008, 08:47 AM

I'd like to sue the forum for undue influence (brainwashing) on me without my knowledge and consent, but 2 problems:
1. I probably will not be able to show a loss because if I had to liquidate my watches, I might just get all my money back + more

2. I have not found out a way of suing myself and making it a win/win situation

unclesallie · 17 January 2008, 10:04 AM

well, i'm with Bo. can't blame TRF, but you guys certainly have made my case of 'watch madness' worse; in fact, MUCH worse.
best, dan
