Cheers to TRF

In the last 4 months I have purchased 2 Rolex watches from the classifieds, gained a wealth of knowledge and also enjoyed great pictures and posts of fellow members. I have been a fan of Rolex since my early teens but have learned more in these 4 months than the previous 20 years and now a much deeper appreciation. Enough can not be said about how great this forum is and the camaraderie that exists between all of us watch enthusiasts. The $25 pledge membership is too low in my opinion as I think this forum is so much more valuable. Thanks to the founders, moderators and all the members for making TRF what it is. Cheers to all!

Nice words. I agree 100% TRF is not only a learning resource it is a good place to find a great price on a lot of different watch brands too. Happy watch collecting!

TRF certainly adds a whole new dimension to my knowledge, enjoyment and appreciation of the watch on my wrist.

The $25 pledge is a minimum. You can choose to give significantly more. I did.

Any forum reflects it's membership. TRF has always tried to be a place where we can relax and enjoy the hobby and sharing of information without the fear of a heavy hand.

I like to think TRF is made up of good friends who have never met.

About the pledge membership.....I've been thinking about 5,000 USD....see there's this new Rolex diver they came out with and......
