A BIG Thank You to Al (Alcan) - Warning: Pic Intensive

Received this beautiful 2012 Tudor Catalogue the other day, compliments of Al (Alcan). An extremely generous act from a wonderful TRF member. Members like yourself are what make TRF the best Rolex forum, bar none!

Thank you, Al, very much! (Below are a few quick iPhone pics....enjoy!)










Al, Sorry for the delay in posting this thank you....I have been totally immersed in caring for my poor 13 year old "puppy", who has cancer........

I hope your puppy is ok. I've been through that with my last dog, a huge lab/Shepard.

It's hard, but your support makes all the difference in the him (or her).

Good luck.

I'm deeply sorry to hear about your dog's disease Nathan, I hope this kind and generous gesture brought you some happiness. Congratulations on the book my friend.

Great job Al, you are a class act!

Hey that is great, but, by the way where can I look at or purchase new Tudor's in the USA? They are not sold here, is that true?
