Congratulations TRC

[Richard Tracy]

A few years at Rwg1, and Trc,..

Great Place,.. Trc,...Nice & relaxed,... Tons of related info...

Somewhat like a small town, though the membership count was high,.. the activity was slow & easy,

like a Sunday in the park.. and I bounced back and forth from a fast paced city of Rwg1 to the clear calm pond

of Trc,...

Then Rwg1 started to deteriorate with infighting, insults, slights, flaming and out-right,..isms,.

that cut the ties between why we were gathered there together in the beginning,.. which is a love of time, represented in mechanical form,..

Then Admin, Ken, and a few good men, took the best of Rwg1,..and Combined it with the worldly intelligence of Trc and Rwg.cc was born,..

The best of all Worlds,... Fast but on the right path,.. like a well heeled automobile on the Autobahn..

Recently however some of the insensitive blindness that tore Rwg1 apart has reared it's ignorant cave mentality here,

and I sincerely hope that it's checked with the foresight of our past experience, not crudely censored, before it reproduces itself, and infects this board, carrying it down the same path to ruin as it's predecessor,..

If it does,.. I'm sure that Trc may end up being what is always was.. an Oasis,.. a Survivor that knows why it's there and remains like a Rock in Stormy seas,..

Five Cheers for TRC

I still stop by once a day. I can't even count how many watches I have had in the last 5 years. Mind blowing. Good to see we're all still going strong.

I joined TRC about 18 months ago. It was my first home in this hobby. I wish it another five years.

Chief,

You know the rules about bad language on this forum!

And that name is as bad as it gets.... my one major scam in my rep times... cost me $1k+.

Now go and stand in the corner... bad language indeed!

(She/it was also the reason for my siggy.)

I still have a Natalie watch. A rather nice Cartier Roadster with ETA 2824. To date, it's the most accurate I've seen.... but that's not saying a whole lot.

I joined there in March 03 and will always lean more to that site than any of the others. Boy how reps have changed and not for the better. Well not in fit and finish anyway.

Here's to the next 5 TRC

Boy, it has been a long time. I didn't join TRC until Aug. 2004 after I heard about it on RWG1. It is a true oasis in the sea of newbie forums. Congrats Admin on the longevity.
