Ok let me kick off with my nominations

RWG new member of the year 2016
Sogeha

I nominate Mike on a Bike as crew member of the year and@sogeha as new member of the year.
Also, I nominate@nanuq as veteran member of the year,@misiekped as modder of the year.
If the new Panerai 441 checks out (I'll know next week), then it'll get my vote for rep of the year.

I would like to nominate @misiekped as modder of the year. His work is always outstanding, and he is a great guy to deal with.

I would like to nominate @Legend as crew member of the year. 

For rep of the year I would like to nominate the ZF IWC Big Pilots. The build quality of these are amazing, and I really like the working PR.

This isn't easy. I guess much as I'm not a big Panerai man, one of the newer models has to be by far the best bang for the bucks watch in terms of being most similar to genuine.

Best Mod? I wouldn't like to judge between them. Unlike other forums, we don't have any weak Mods.

our sexually desirable Rock God Modderators deserve a joint first place.

i support @Nanuq for veteran member and @misiekped as modder, but with an honourable mention to @rolojack

Member of the year, well I think of the guys who are always there with sound technical knowledge and deep understanding of tiny details. @freddy333 Daytona man of the year, @sacsah1, @QueTip, @automatico, @alligoat Also come to mind. @ssteel and @jmbseem to constantly help with watchmaking know how. @hologramet has been helpful with access to genuine parts. A big thank you to all of you. However also on the list of super helpful with technical information is @dbane883, who has also given away parts and inspired us all with simply stunning builds, so my vote for member of the year is @dbane883

Dealers, I've used a few now and had excellent service from all of them. I guess my vote goes to Rafflestime simply because Ken did the right thing by me when he could very reasonably walked away.

RWG crew member of the year 2016  Although you guys may see Legend and I very visibly in our work as we handle most of the member interaction w/ the staff Kernow our newest mod has been working like the energizer bunny hiding problem stuff only we mods can see before I even get to fix them.

It's been a really busy year for me so not had much time on here as I used to so hard for me to choose a rep of the year the rest of my choices I've based on what I see when I'm on here and members who help each other out and contribute the most as I see it, Crew member of the year for me was a hard choice as they all work hard to keep this lovely forum going  :notworthy: 

RWG Member of the year 2016 dbane883 - great skills and sound advice given freely to the forum

RWG dealer of the year 2016 Intime - used frequently this year in particular with zero issues 

RWG modder of the year 2016 Mymanmatt Misiekeped - always see stellar work from these guys

RWG crew member of the year 2016 MOAB - what more can I say apart from Legend is a close 2nd Mike :)

RWG veteran of the year 2016 Nanuq - pillar of this forum and all round nice guy too

I've had a wee think on this one ......

RWG Member of the year 2016 - not fair, so many to choose from!

RWG dealer of the year 2016 - can't answer as I've not bought anything new in 2016 (yeah tell me about it!), but if pushed then Toro as he's been great in the past  

RWG rep of the year 2016 - still thinking about it!

RWG modder of the year 2016 - too many good guys here, but SSTEEL has completed 3 great builds for me.

RWG new member of the year 2016 - Sogeha: a great addition to our corner of the web  

RWG crew member of the year 2016 - hmmm close call but MOAB & Legend (too close to split - and always offering me help.)

RWG veteran of the year 2016 (5 years membership and above) Nanuq - a true all rounder.

Maybe I can fill in the position of new member of the year. Being a transfuge from RWI gives extra brownie points lol

It actually depends on how badly banned one was from RWI lol

If you ask Raddave it's a heavy ban. TB might also confirm. Oh wait, TB never confirms anything. He just "chime in" lol.

Because I'm creating an RWG prison for you and paristoto. Lol

i would like to nominate@legend as the "More valuable Crew Member 2016", i must say that i have seen that little big man handle more than one situation with so much calm and always betting that the other person meant no harm that in the end he's the one running the chances of getting hurt, maybe that nomination falls short for what he really deserves, so i would appreciate if you guys help me with the correct one.........and no, there's no nominations for wrists sizes
