15 years on the FORUM

Hi fellow-collectors and dear friends

Just realised today is my 15th anniversary on this FORM (with just under 1000
posts).

I would like to thank you all for being in this community and for shearing
your stories and watches together with me.

Over the years I grew fond of this Forum (met both moderators in person) and
was lucky to participate in great collector-meetings too!

highlights were a visit to Schaffhausen, having a photo-shoot with Umberto Tan
for IWC-magazine
www.iwc.com/en/articles/journal/this-is-their-iwc-
story.html

Got interviewed and known as: "Mister AT" ((
www.iwc.com/en/articles/journal/bas-
dekkers.html )) and
still expending my humble collection...

I've shared some of my expeditions and adventures with you all and got in
return a few good friends back.

Again, thanks for having me here.

And hopefully we 'll ad another 15 years to the callendar.

cheers

Congratulations on the milestone Bas!! Looking forward to the day when travel
opens up again and we can share a meal and a few beverages together!!

Congratulations on 15 years Bas!

It was great to meet you at BBAMSTGTG 2019 - looking forward to seeing you
again and at least another 30 more years on The Forum......A grAT place to be!

Congrats Bas!

I love your Aquatimer passion and look forward to meeting you in person one
day. Perhaps a dive trip GTG once we're all allowed to travel freely again!

Happy 15th Anniversary, Bas! I've enjoyed your posts & hope to meet you in
person one day!

That's a great milestone Baz - congrats!

Just curious when did you get your first IWC? Was it before or after you got
your first IWC?

I wonder since I only joined once I got my first IWC and (and didn't think to
search for the IWC forum prior), but wish I would've the forum joined prior
to getting my first IWC (this of course means I obviously wish I would've
gotten my first IWC much earlier).

yours sincerely.

Congratulations Bas! I'm happy to have met you a few times and look forward to
more meetings with other Forum friends.

Kind regards,
Clemens

Hear hear Bas, GREAT achievement and even better that we've met becaue of this
forum! Hope to 'see' you around for the coming 15 years ;-)

Groet, Bob

Somehow missed this post (almost).

Great milestone Bas and how time flies. I look forward to the next GTG as when
this Covid issue allows us to travel / meet up and until then wear those AT's
in good health.
