Padi & Jocke, thank you!

Thanks guys for what you contribute to this website. I come here to share my passion for watches and my love for horology, and you two embody it.

Padi, you'll always be my #1 go to guy whenever I have a watch technical question, especially for the vintage stuff.

Jocke, your photography of watches is amazing. Not to downplay anybody else's skills, but some of your watch pictures are among the most creative I've ever seen.

I hope this post doesn't slight any other members, but you guys are the essence of what TRF is about and why I'm here. Thank you for sharing.

A great thread started by a great guy himself. Al, you sended me a Tudor book from "up North" a long time ago, "just because" and your collection of so many different models and brands (maybe the most variety I've seen) is awesome. \

BTW, I too have no idea who Jocke is.

Thanks Alacan for the post of the year.

Don't listen to the other guys, I can tell you they know who I am.

Thanks for your kind words my friend.
