Rolex owners can afford the service...IMHO
Much respect to Hans though for providing this space and dedicating so much time to it - All Hail Hans

If Hans needs financial help with the running of the forum he knows who he can ask, until then will you both go and 'shake a tin' on Oxford Street if you want to help a cause.

He'll be thrilled to have that many viewers ! Well as thrilled as Mr Lee ever gets anyway!
