Greetings,
Last week I asked “old-timers” to list when then first visited the forum. We had an amazing turn-out: over 50 people participated last week and were members here from 2001, when the forum started, through 2005. We even had over 20 members who were first on this forum almost seven years ago and are still here –that’s incredible. Their abiding interest in IWC and continuous support for this forum is more than appreciated. Your participation here is magnificent.
For 2001 and 2002, I promised to award prizes to the two persons who first posted earliest and for that first time in that year. For 2003, 2004, and 2005 one winner was selected based on earliest first post. Here are our winners:
2001
Nelson Herring and mb75 –they were here on the forum’s first day!
Prize: winner’s choice of an IWC Loupe or IWC beach towel
2002

--Followed by your choice of prize (quantities are limited and your first choice might be unavailable, so write soon),
Congratulations to all, and also compliments to the 21 guys who have stuck with us continuously since 2001.
Regards,
Michael
P.S. If also you’re one of the “21 from 2001” please also E-mail me if you’d like an unofficial temporary Probus Scafusia tattoo. I figure you’re a “died in the wool” IWC’er and might put it to good use. (I don’t think I’m supposed to give out non-IWC items but we’ll do this quietly). ;)
