Hark, got a hit from DaveK on etsy and he said he was trying to get back on. Not sure what has been going on though. Just glad to see him active.
Here we have it! Good work. Hey Dave, welcome back.

We've missed our friend @DaveK.

To keep this thread updated, @DaveK is back 😀

Hi folks, it’s been a while 😟 Okay, I spent far too long being insulated from the outside world. Other than work and my wife, I’ve been quite withdrawn most of the year. Though it seemed like a fabulous idea at the time, in retrospect, it really sucked to not have connection with friends. Apologies to those who I ghosted, and THANK YOU to those who reached out.

What did I miss?

As far back as August of 2023, there were comments concerning not having heard much from @DaveK . I mentioned at the time that I had sent him several private emails, enquiring as to his silence on the message board. Starting this thread was his idea, now many of us are wondering if everything is okay! Anybody heard anything? Maybe I’ll try another message to his personal email address.

A good thread. Thanks for reviving it and Checking on on Davek. Any news also from @JwRosenthal ? I miss his posts. Hope everything is going fine for both of them.

I sent a message to @DaveK on Friday night, enquiring as to silence from his end. No reply on Saturday morning! Hmmmmmmm!

The mods can check if any subscription is up to date.

As many of us know, once a bank is notified of death or some change in the account holder’s ability to control their lives, standing orders/direct debits are stopped - and I recollect that this information was relevant in efforts to ascertain if @Alpha was still in contact with OF.

In my case, I’ve thought about this issue. I’ve met a few members and bought or sold watches with members so I think that at least some of them have my address and contact details.

Just to be clear, I’m not planning an imminent departure although, as my wife joked, ‘How do you make God laugh?’ ‘Tell him your plans for the future’.

I've been in touch with @JwRosenthal. He is very busy with work and I think that he's not as interested with watches as he was a few years ago. I'm not sure whether he will be back with OF.

Glad he's doing ok. It happens. My work's been super busy and I've got less time to chat on forums lately.

And my kid discovered tabletop games and pokemon, so there's less watch money these days. 🫠
