Adam you my friend are my Hero to make a horrible wrong right.

Now the great gesture that Tom is trying to do for one of our forum members will not be done in vain.
With people like Adam and Tom we should all be proud to be a part of this wonderful family. Thank You Tom & Adam

OMG. Dr Tom you're a true class act. Glad the watch didn't go to through. What a dirt bag.
Adam, my vote to you as Mod of the Year

Going to be turning 30 ... pick me, pick me

SC11 · 6 August 2017, 05:18 PM

Tom,

If you want it to go to someone you know/establish member why don't you raffle the chance to buy to pledge members?

(Maybe with a stipulation no current or previous 116500 owners can apply to me that will help genuine members who are still trying to get one have a chance)

I like your style. I had a somewhat similar suggestion in an earlier post.

Looks like hitman23 was second in line?

i would have gladly purchased if the i had the opportunity. my fingers were crossed that the other guy decided not to purchase. but reading about this guy just sucks. many thanks to Dr.Kerr for the opportunity he provided all of us.

I have no input in the outcome but maybe karma will swing in your favor

Well, Tom said he goes by the correct order so since you were the 2nd to reply?

HL65 · 6 August 2017, 07:54 PM

Well done Adam and again Tom you are a class act!

Sublovin · 6 August 2017, 08:02 PM

What a nice gesture. Maybe everyone give him some breathing room and let him decide what he wants to do. Very nice

James444 · 6 August 2017, 08:05 PM

Adam the great detective, great gesture tom

hitman23 · 6 August 2017, 08:05 PM

one can only dream while studying for my board exam.

BLNR Nairobi · 6 August 2017, 08:46 PM

Wow. This thread!!!

All I can say is that Dr Tom is 100% a mensch. A proper class act. God bless you, sir.

I am glad that the scammer did not get the watch.

Nairn1980 · 6 August 2017, 08:54 PM

This is incredible to read....

In the UK these are beyond rediculous to get hold of, however the grey market is flooded with them.

I'd love to see this watch go to someone who absolutely adores it for what it is and guarantees not to flip....it will be hard to find that person but will be worth it for the watch to go to someone who really wants it.

mjclark32 · 6 August 2017, 08:59 PM

Way to go doc, I'm sure it'll work out for the best and someone will be very happy

Racerdj · 6 August 2017, 09:02 PM

Awesome gesture!!

Argh, its that APRolex guy!

Great work Adam, and fantastic gesture Tom.

In future I recommend selling only to people with at least 36K posts, just to be extra safe.

Congratulations in advance

Edit: having now read the entire thread ......

Tom, don't let it stress you out. I'm sure this watch will find a good home and anyone here who wants it would be lucky to get it from someone like you.

Adam, what else can we say, moderator extraordinaire, supermod, thanks for taking care of this great community

To the amggts9, well I know you're gone now, but wherever you are I'm sure you'll try a stunt like this again. I only hope next time, you meet up with a guy the size of one of Dr. Tom's sons

Old Geezer · 6 August 2017, 09:46 PM

Woke up to the world being much better today. So glad to see the transaction with amggts9 was halted. Great detective work Adam.
I was late to the PMing party yesterday because I was out yesterday but offer my sincerest congratulations to whoever becomes the lucky recipient. This watch will have a story for the ages.

Etschell · 6 August 2017, 09:56 PM

Great offer. Can't wait for the incoming to the lucky member who bought it.

slillestrand · 6 August 2017, 10:05 PM

My hope is that someone gets this as their first ROLEX.

Start with a bang!

Scott

Jocke · 6 August 2017, 10:05 PM

What a story.

Tom is one of the best and I'm really sorry when people try to use the good guys. I'm very happy the guy didn't get the watch
and I hope the one that get it really want it and not try to make some money.

A tip to Tom, keep the certificate for 6 months and pull off the plastic before you deliver it.

Eatapp · 6 August 2017, 10:12 PM

Great work, Adam! I'm floored by this whole situation. Kudos to Dr. Tom, class act! I hope the watch finds a wonderful home!

Hulley · 6 August 2017, 10:13 PM

Wow! What a thread! Glad the jerk didn't get it.

RichM · 6 August 2017, 10:27 PM

Great jesture Dr. Tom.

Looks like Adam saved the day.

Clasper · 6 August 2017, 10:32 PM

That's a moderator who has gone far beyond the stand moderator tasks. Well done Adam, just shows the extra work these guys put in.

Hahaha! Yes. Engrave the back! Lol. This can merge every Daytona ceramic topic into one thread!

So glad this was halted. So sorry Tom was trying to be so generous and someone wanted to take advantage. That's what is tough about these forums.
