fotoman Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Im only here for the hot chicks and cheap beer... OH WAIT, wrong forum! As many have stated before me, Im here because of the people. Sure, I am here because I enjoy collecting watches... But I could do that (and did) for many years without the assistance of any forum. Sure, I could lurk like some do and just take what information I need and never do what I can to help... But I post and support because I appreciate what the community has to offer. Ive made many friends here, and for them I stay! T Making friends is an important part of life. i have gotten to know literally dozens of forum members on a personal level - i have met 7 in person, including enjoying some amazing hospitality - (thanks omni and callas) What i will say - if your lucky enough to get to know folks as i have - celebrated some good times (kids born, holy grail achieved) and tuff times - hospital stays you will never find a greater mix of folks from all countries and forms of life - you would be amazed how many Drs Lawyers,, engineers, accountants, CEOs leaders of industry are among us. - oh and an inordinate amount of folks with Radio programs So - Good luck on your projects and be sure to sample the nachos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfran42 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I am not really sure how I ended up here. I thought I was going to be in and out quickly. I was going to study up on watches, ask all the experts a bunch of questions, buy two or three "super reps" and then get on with my life. I think what is sucking me in is the admiration I have for the people who revolve around this hobby. I love how nit-picky some of the members are about discrepancies no larger that the footprint of an ant. I also like the fact that I have enough noob knowledge to help the extremely new members. It feels good when I get a PM from a member thanking me for helping them with their first purchase. Lasty, I am becoming much more fond of watches in general. My list of "must haves" grows weekly. I dunno...I might be gone in a month or two but the knowledge I have gained here plus the satisfaction of helping others with definitely go down as a positive experience in my book.

robertk Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 .......Because of the great people here, the wonderful communications, the terrific info that keeps me addicted to "The forgers art", and the female escorts that the forum provides. Edit: Oops, this is only showing up in the VIP Special lounge, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubu Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 GIRLS ! GIRLS ! GIRLS ! the sexy avatars..... and of course the WATCHES. Seriously, the community and the support both watch related and unrelated. The international flavor and common interest and the stimulus to advance my computer, photographic, and horological skills. Thanks All, Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OiRogers Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I love this forum because the vast majority of us love Watches as the works of mechanical art they are. Ah yes, and some of us appreciate the rep industry as well. I'm also here biding my time waiting for Nanuq to tortue test another rollie.

SubFrog Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Still searching for Jetmid... But, due to some very considerate and generous people...I stay. Not to mention, my obsession and collection of watches. Sometimes you show up for one reason and stay for another. I also have to mention Hike's avatar.

anton Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Initially, I came here for purely selfish reasons---I just purchased a supposedly "gen" PAM 113 but once I googled the caseback numbers, I was pointed here. Yes, I was once a pretentious snot like those at OTHER watch forums. but when I put in my first post, I think the first person that welcomed me here was Corgi. Or at least his is the post I remembered most. Now we are like a small community scattered across a large world. I hope to meet some of you someday.
