received a invitation email this morning so thought i'd check it out, it's a big world out there but a small rolex enthusiasts, some familiar names ,some new,some i'd wondered where'd they gone, i see them here! >>>>hi gents all !!

now by way of an interesting IMO post, any gents fondly reminisce the days before "the addication" when you had just your one treasured timepiece, live was simple, no complication, no decisions on which one to wear,guilt for those on the winder im sure you know the thoughts, for those that still have only the one! it's like your schooldays, the best days of your life.i can't rationalise or justify any other purchases but that short period of choosing then getting a new watch is like any other high im sure "My name is Steve I am a addict"

cheers all

Hi Steve, Welcome to the nut house where the most of us have a mild addiction to watches

Join on in with your thoughts and insights we are all here to learn accept maybe for JJ. He just don't want to learn he just wants to see the pretty girls

Seadweller · 14 September 2005, 07:50 PM

Welcome Steve, it's great to have you here.

I am one of the guys with only one rolex

but its the best one.

I look forward to reading more of your posts and welcome again, this is a nice place to come.

Craig.

Welcome Steve to TRF may your stay be a happy one we are all mates here.

14 September 2005, 09:05 PM

Welcome Steve - read the threads by JJ on selling his PO and you will see how bad it can get! I'm sure his wife wishes for those simple days, even he doesn't......

dman · 14 September 2005, 09:58 PM

Steve, what is up my man!! I am guilty of having multiple brands addiction, it is the worst type of watch sickness. LOL!!

Welcome to TRF and nice to see you over here. Please stick around and jump right in the middle of the fun pal.

Cheers.

worktolivelife · 14 September 2005, 09:59 PM

avalon, just read jj PO experience!!! and wish to confess at the risk of what may be forum ridicule, im actually considering the PO as my next purchase "45mm orange bezal/orange strap!!! but maybe not, i could take the "safe" black on a bracelet option but that would be a cop out no????, maybe i should keep my somewhat "just wrong" thoughts to a strictly omega
forum LOL!!

cheers
steve

dman · 14 September 2005, 10:01 PM

Steve, here come the flying rocks, now hit the deck.

worktolivelife · 14 September 2005, 10:14 PM

was all set to get myself a pam while i was on "the list" then out the blue AD phones me with the daytona just couldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, it would have been "just wrong" to have knocked it back, i'd only been on the list 5 weeks and i felt truely lucky and what a buzz/high

cheers steve

Rockrolex · 14 September 2005, 11:07 PM

Let me add my welcome to TRF, Steve. Looks like you've already been perusing some of the more interesting threads here. Feel free to chime in anytime on any thoughts (within reason, of course). Oh, and as for the PO, if you get it, you can post as many pictures of a black bezel version that you want. But post one picture of a Pumpkin and it could get you banned for life.

worktolivelife · 14 September 2005, 11:15 PM

the term pumpkin for the orange PO first time i've heard that phrase origanal to this forum?? LOL LOL!!!!

cheers steve

I think it might have been Mamas, actually. I remember a post where I called it the halloween watch and I think Mamas came back with pumpkin. I could be wrong...

The earliest post I can find regarding the name was by SoCalSam. This might be the link.http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...hlight=pumpkin

I think the thread I'm thinking of was at the other, other place, from which a few of us were banned.

Hi Steve and welcome! Let me first warn you that I am the only SANE person on this forum.

Take care,

You were lucky indeed!! Ask Adrian(Uncle AJ) about time on waitlists.

And to answer your other question, it is a tie between Pam and Rolex. I feel like I will have both in my collection. The YM only gets maybe one day a week, but it knows it is secure in the watch family.
