Public "Thank you" to Alcan (Al)

A few weeks back, Al offered, free of charge and shipping fees, various Tudor catalogs to those interested. I took him up on his offer, and received the catalog in today's post.

Beautiful and stunning photography ... I'll be reading this one for a while.

I want to thank Al for making the very generous offer; he could have just as easily dropped these in the bin, but he chose to go the extra mile and share them with others, at his own time and expense. Al personifies the exemplary folks we are lucky to have here; I'm proud to be a member of this group. Thank you one again Al; may you receive blessings in return.

Cheers!
Bill

Al truly is a great guy. He sent me a brand new Tudor catalogue and it came as I was in between trips for work and forgot to thank him..
Al, thanks so much for thinking of me. Although my wife's kinda pissed. Lots of great new watches there.

I like Al because he's old like me!

Seriously, Al's the best in my book. He owns some serious watches, too!

I got my Tudor book from him several months ago when he offered them a while back. Great guy and a great gesture. After reading mine, I decide to pass it along to a lucky member during the Kentucky GTG. Just payin' it forward as they say........Thanks again Al.

As usual, I'm a day late and a dollar short posting on this thread, but I'd like to throw in my thanks as well, Al sent me a catalogue from the first group a couple months ago. I enjoyed it tremendously and have since passed it on to another TRFer, but I really really want to thank Al again for being so considerate, you're top notch in my book!

I got my big catalog today. Yeah AL!
Thank you so much.
Al was kind enough to send a smaller sized catalog to to me a month ago. Now I have 2.
It's not so much a collection as an accumulation. I love watch stuff.
THANKS AL
