It was so good in the early days, no one talked about Speedmasters or investments (we all ate tinned beans in those days) , mods used to tell you where the good watch auction s were, People were nice to each other. Hodinkee was for the common bloke, @kyle L was still in high school. # didn't mean hashtag it meant pound. Dennis was funny not angry 馃槈

馃摉 my advice to anyone who wants to learn is go back in time on this forum and the wealth of information that was layed down will amaze you.

Carry on just reminiscing....

Don't mention him - it's too complicated already. ::stirthepot::

But, oh what I wouldn't give for a OF Delorean at 88 MPH. ::psy::

It鈥檚 sad because it鈥檚 true...

I lurked in 2012, and even by 2013 this place was just a few dozen nerds talking about Connie鈥檚 80% of the time... the other 20% was complaining about Eisenhower

This is one of the reasons I barely write anything here. It has been already been discussed by earlier forum members. A real treasure trove

...think they were onto Kennedy by then ::stirthepot::

But definitely pre-moon, getting a discussion going on Speedmasters was like Waiting for Godot. Another world altogether.

Long time no see amigo!
Hi......
yeahhh.... I seldom checking here anymore. Somehow after 2015 my hunting appetite declined.
I am happy with whatever in my collection now.

Hopefully someday I catch the passion again.......

When ebay was still a place of bargains ....

Also, just wanted to post this quote from 2012 from that thread here because some things never change.


As long as Hoi's friends are stuffing their safe deposit boxes with old Constellations you should be pretty safe, vintage SS Rolex's, especially 70s/80s Daytonas IMO are in a bubble, they're too small to be sports watches, to sporty to be dress watches, and dramatically overpriced for steel watches with Valjoux 72 movements.
