Yep. I remember when I was was a noob. In comparison to many I still am. With the guidance of several members (who will remain unnamed, but you know who you are) of RWGII, RWGI, TRC, RWI and the like, I became quite knowledgeable in comparison to my circle of friends at home. Thanks to all of you who embraced a noob (whether it was me, or someone else) at one time, because we were all noobs once.
Happy New Year, Horologists, Collectors, Noobs, and the like!
