    Indeed. To keep a forum as busy as this with such a diverse range of characters involved is no mean feat. Great stuff, Eddie. 8)

    Btw, haven't some posts gone missing after the update? So, you should have reached the 500000 even earlier...

    Congratulations btw. By FAR the best watch forum in the world.

    I am glad you've done the maths. I was wondering what it was. My aim was to go past you. Now I am going for total battlespace dominance. :brave:

    Hey ... it looks like the almighty WUS needs our help. :twisted:

    PS If Eddie ever decided to go 'commercial' we could make him a fortune ... and blackmail him. :pirate:

    Re: Nobody noticed?

    .
    On a serious note guys ... if you feel I am posting too much, tell me. My aim from the beginning was to help as much as poss in putting British watchmaking on the map. In the early days I used to post here and on RLT but when 'they' started editing my posts I stopped posting there.

    Again, from the beginning, I have been very excited with what Eddie is doing both with the watchmaking and with the forum. And I must be honest to say that the forum has been ‘a surprising extra’. Just by looking at what else is around, the 'perceived' and perhaps 'actual' risk that Eddie has taken in allowing us to be ourselves is beyond reproach.

    I must say, I find it strange that Eddie and his products get attacked so readily and often ... but perhaps freedom does scare some people. And above all, if the watches were no good I wouldn’t have been here in the first place.

    Congrats from me too.

    Enjoy "wandering" through all the diverse topics, and I enjoy reading posts from everyone (even from some of the "late and un-lamented")
