    I just realised I've been here 10years on the forum.

    How time flies and I really hate to think the turnover of watches since joining this forum. Only two are still here since joining the forum both which relate to my departed parents and I plan to pass on down the chain eventually. One is the least expensive the other is the most expensive.

    These are:

    Patek Annual Calendar 5146J



    and my late father's Rolex Air-King-Date:



    Here is to another 10 years - it will be interesting to not only see the watches around at that time - but also how the forum collective temperament becomes by then.

    All the best everyone

    Just clocked past 11 on here myself Martyn.

    Pleasure meeting you today Sir, albeit briefly, and all the best for the next 10 years on here!

    Wow !!! I've just noticed it's been 11 for me and i hate to think how many watches I have brought and flipped over those 11 years.

    I also would hate to know how much I have paid Royal Mail over those 11 years !!

    Thanks to Eddie and all of the fellow members I've had the pleasure to deal with over the time Ive been a member of this great forum.

    Cheers

    Scott

    It seems I joined a week after you. Bloody hell, where has the time gone?
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Just checked my profile to see when I joined, 2007 so 11 years for me and who knows how many ‘fence post’ pictures I took in that time. Congratulations on your milestone, really enjoyed your superb in depth watch reviews in particular which have been a very useful reference over the years.

    The boss may even award you a gold watch when you reach 25 years service ... now that’s an idea.

    Thanks Steve! It is way overdue that I did some more. Though I just need to keep them in the collection longer enough to do so. I try and migrate them over to the ‘Review’ section but need so do so for some I’ve done recently.

    These are in the pipeline:

    Omega Seamaster 300m 2018 edition (Black and Sienna gold)
    Tudor Black Bay GMT
    Patek Aquanaut 5167A-001
    Rolex Sea Dweller (50th Anniversary Edition).

    Yea I've been here over ten years also, its last longer than my marriage!

    I hit my ten years too in September, though I do remember lurking for a good few years before signing up! I think I had one watch back then (which I still have) - the Seiko Black Monster. My wallet and life would have been much simpler if I just stuck with that one watch solution....

    Maybe we need a 10 year reunion!

    Excellent, will look forward to those, especially the SD43 as IMHO it’s one of the nicest Rolex sports models currently available.
