Danger Will Robinson!

A hardy hello to the members of the forum!
And now an explanation of the title.
I could say “for reasons that escape me”, but that would be untrue. I know exactly why. It seems when I join a forum. My savings have a tendency to run in a negative direction.
Anyway, I come here seeking knowledge so that I may, wisely, spend my children’s inheritance, and to ask one other question at this time. It’s more of a chicken and egg type of question.
Did you buy the watch then join the forum or did you join the forum before buying the watch?

Welcome to the forum. I already owned Rolex watches (and others) before I joined TRF.

I joined TRF, learned about Rolex watches I was interested in and then bought more than I intended to!

Thank you for the welcomes, it’s a pleasure to be here.
I did have an older Rolex DJ and a very old Tudor submariner (discussed in another thread), was on an ADs waiting list for something for my wife, before joining the forum.
After picking up what my wife had been waiting for about 18 months. Not even 10 days on the forum, I’m back on the Ads waiting list again.
