Reply With QuoteNice one and congratulations on your 20th, must have been near when the forum first opened.
Just noticed I joined in September 2003 so twenty years clocked up!
Things have certainly changed over the years, a lot of stuff people lust over and pay thousands for nowadays could be picked up very reasonably then.
A lot of faces have joined or disappeared since then and unfortunately some have passed away.
I used to post a lot more in the past but figure I have said it all before.
I would say I look forward to the next twenty but doubt I'll make it TBH. Hope so though.
All the best to all members old and new.
Nice one and congratulations on your 20th, must have been near when the forum first opened.
You may not post so often these days, but I, for one, always look out for your posts. keep them coming!
Congrats on your 20th Neil.
Just checked and I’m in for 17, time flies when you’re having fun.
Cheers,
Ben

Happy 20th Neil! I hope you make it to 40 (TZ yrs). Your avatar is one of the few I always remember - is your dog still with us?
P.S. I think your Speedmaster website link may have "expired"?
Congratulations from a mere whippersnapper at 15yrs.
Congrats Neil from a still wet behind the ears muckypup of almost 13 years!
Twenty years, that's a fair milestone Neil. Time goes so quickly!
Bet it seems like only yesterday you were balancing Webers by ear with a length of rubber tube :)
All the best and here's to the next twenty.(Not sure I'll make that either but let's think positive
)

Crikey, 20 years?, I've just looked at mine and I've been on 14. Enjoyed it, some selling, more buying, and some interesting comments and people. This is the only forum I visit regularly so that says something.
Here's to the next 20.
Congrats Neil, just looked i joined in 2007, i hope i have another 20 years left! but you are right lot of changes over the years.Originally Posted by Neil.C
Nice one Neil - always enjoyed your stuff over the years.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Congratulations Neil, on your 20yrs here, well done.
I joined 29th June, 2003 seen a lot of changes too.😁
Nice one Neil!!
Congratulations on 20 years Neil, is Eddy sending you a carriage clock in recognition? Always enjoyed your posts, especially your Car Boot finds, you’ve picked up some cracking stuff over the years.
Here’s to the next 20.
Best Regards - Peter
I hate being bipolar, its brilliant.
Congrats Neil, I've just noticed that I'm heading for 21 in October.
Wow congrats all.
I’m happy that I didn’t get involved online that many years ago. Although it does coincide when I bought my first proper watch
Thanks everyone!
Always a pleasure to log on here and obviously a big shout out to the legendary founder of TZ-UK Eddie.
Webers, rubber tube, I remember it well.Twenty years, that's a fair milestone Neil. Time goes so quickly!

All the best and here's to the next twenty.

Great track BTW. So melancholy but uplifting.
Thanks.
Unfortunately my Bull Terrier Deana in the pic sadly died about 12 years ago. The best dog ever.
Her place was taken by Dot my current naughty little girl. Pictured with my youngest here.
Seems to have disappeared.
I don't really have the impetus to do it all again so I'll just cancel the link.
Thanks for noticing!
Congrats. I’m at 18.5 years. Longer than I’ve been married!
Doubt we will be doing Forums in 20yrs Neil.
I suspect posts and images will just be directly floated into our Cerebral Cortexes via code streams, whilst we are tube fed something resembling Soylent Green.
All the best Neil 😀👍🏻
Congrats!
Tempus Fugit! 17yrs here for me.. and I just clocked 252 posts.. suppose I can use the Sales section again now! (I'm sure it used to be 50 ish posts in ye olden days)
Well done, Neil!
Cheers to Eddie for providing this playground.

Cheers Brane!
You've done longer than I have.
Yep congrats Neil I remember you joining where have they all gone been great entertainment at times:)
April 2003 here.
Sincere thanks to Eddie.
Sure, Neil, but see my meager output here ... :-)Cheers Brane!
You've done longer than I have.
I should have added that to :)
Hi Paul, certainly some changes in membership/outlook over the years.

Hi Si,
Hope you are keeping well.
Congrats Neil
It's mad how long we've been posting absolute sh*te fascinating stuff on here
Hope we all see the next 20!
I remember reading something about a year ago that forums are dying a death. They are mainly populated by old men and they are slowly dying off.Doubt we will be doing Forums in 20yrs Neil.
I suspect posts and images will just be directly floated into our Cerebral Cortexes via code streams, whilst we are tube fed something resembling Soylent Green.
The site owners are slowly closing them down because they cost money to run and the members are reluctant to contribute towards the running cost.
So it now little mini Facebook, tictok and WhatsApp groups that are now the new growth areas.
I belong to one such group where entry is strictly by invitation only and we meet up at different gastro pubs all over the place in the evenings as well as for lunch. The putting of putting faces to names is good and there is never any arguing at all.
Time flies
Wow. Just noticed the post counts on some of you guys.Who has the most ?
15 years for me. I remember I found this place after getting booted off the US TZ for flogging some straps. lol
Post count wise I must be up there with the least, over 10 years and counting.
Congratulations you “old timer”
“Don’t look back, you’re not heading that way.”
Cheers mate!
Twenty years? Crikey.
I guess I'm still just a newbie then!
So clever my foot fell off.
Congrats on your 20th, Neil. Best to you!
Cheers Tom.Congrats on your 20th, Neil. Best to you!
Best wishes to you as well.
Congrats on 20 years
I still have a steel Omega F300 I bought off you around 2005 (I think you were on RLT too then). I must put a battery back in it.
I can't remember what I paid but reckon it'll have gone up a bit in value !

Congratulations. My 20 year anniversary is next year - though I do struggle to see how some people have the numbers of posts that they do.
I'm sure it has!
I still have a lot of vintage Omegas and when I think what I paid for them and what they fetch now......
