Celebrate Ed Tonkin's 3,000-post milestone on WatchProSite. Discover his impact as a collector of independent and exotic watches and his long-standing contributions.

WatchProSite celebrates a significant community milestone as longtime purist Ed Tonkin reaches 3,000 forum posts. This achievement highlights his enduring presence and invaluable contributions to the horological community. Dr No's original post invites us to reflect on Tonkin's journey and the impact of his shared passion.

. . . please join me in congratulating him on the milestone.

We all know Ed thru his fabulous collection of indies and exotics. I got to meet him recently and hopefully will again in the near future when the next occasion to visit the Great Northwest arises.

Ed has been a member of this site since practically the beginning . . .

. . . twenty years ago. Not sure exactly when he first posted, but probably before my first post in November '04. Art
