My 111 strap from CBR!!

[Anopsis]

I'm going to start this by saying that I've just been here a few months and you guys treat me like I've been around for years. I don't think I've ever been made to feel so "at home" on any forum, of any type. First COLDI helps me get settled in, then D4M fixes my PAM when I couldn't get it back together, and now CBR makes a strap for me. I'm gonna start crying in a minute.

Seriously, you guys have been awesome and CBR, bro, I cannot thank you enough. It was a helluva morale boost considering the last two weeks I've had. I owe you one.

Now on to the good stuff.

Man that thing looks butter soft! When are you coming my way so I can see that?!

 

[CBR]

It was truly a pleasure to make that for such a great member. Im even more pleased to know that you like it.
Wear it in good health!

some people I've seen in the media (in Australia, anyway) try to make the point that the modern era of online communication is somehow LESS than the face to face world of years gone by.

This thread is a perfect example of how the online world can make a HUGE positive contribution to peoples lives on-line.

I agree whole heartedly. While I have not met any of your guys yet (although I feel sure that I will at some point), it is awesome the help that you can get here. It seems like CBR, Coldi, Drulee and all the Mods really do all they can to make you feel at home. I know I only named a couple, and everyone is going to have their own group that has helped them out the most. But since this thread is a sappy one with Anopsis crying and all I thought I would pass along my thanks to everyone here. I too feel like I have been here for years, and it has only been a couple of months.

It is funny that when things get slow at work, I immediately wonder what the folks on this forum are doing... and of course what watches you guys are wearing.

To quote 4chan, this is now officially a Baaaaaawwwww thread. Ok, just kidding.

I *did* get some breathing room by selling two of my children. The .50BMG and the Ninja are now resting comfortably (hopefully) with their new owners.

Wow, maybe I wasn't kidding after all!

 

[pennerei]

wow, nice one...how was the price?

 

[wat44]

the price was..... ummm unbeatble!

priceless!

[DonBrizzel]

NICE!!!! What a nice strap.

How do you get leather to do that? Amazing. That sets a new softness standard for me.

And ditto about this forum. Sometimes I get a bit tooooo comfy here, but it seems like it's family somehow.


Thanks, Anopsis.

Thanks for all the kind words... THIS is truly an incredible community. The main subject matter may be watches, but the community goes WAY beyond that. Its a place to make friends. REAL FRIENDS, not the typical forum friends.
There are several people from all over the world THAT I KNOW I could call at 3am with a problem and they would be there for me. And I hope they all realize my cell phone is ALWAYS on and close.
Thank you TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU...
