Since one of padi's fellow moderators moved this thread to the Open Discussion Forum, maybe that mod could let us know if all is well with him (if they happen to know)? I'm sure many here would be interested to know. Thanks.

Maybe if we start a few "Watchwinder-Yes or No" threads he will pop in.
Hope all is well with him and his family.

Hope all is well with Peter and he is just taking a break. If anyone hears from him, please post. No mods have commented on this thread, which I find concerning, but I am sure it is for good reason.

I heard that Rolex now recommends getting your watch serviced every 10 years, up from five previously.




(Maybe that will flush him out....)
