lazarini Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 HI All Much deserved update after 4 months ;=) This pictorial has been in a making for long now, but i never kinda found time to pull the pictures together. I decided today that its finally time to do this. Most of the people that know me from the boards pretty much seen the watches i owned or currently have. Maybe more interesting for the new members but still im sure there will be some surprises for the regulars to I will divide this pictorial in 3 section : Pre Rendomew (before i found RWG) , RWG Past and RWG Present ... Let the ride begin Pre Rendomew (before i found RWG) Some pics in this section are bad quality do to fact i took em with mobile thx for understanding: Panerai Luminor GMT ... also known as the canal street master purchased via local add portal in Slovenia: died after 2 weeks Breitling ... god knows what model bought via local adds in Slovakia: Traded for a liter of Gin to a UK Tourist behind the bar in El Diablo Bratislava Slovakia ... basically he loved the watch and i was [censored] hahaha wanted to pay for a drink as i did not wanna sell it ... i was on gin tonic he put a bottle on the table ... hehe.

lazarini Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 High end reps, enjoy them Thank u for the kind words A. the DJ i got from you is certainly one of the stars in my watch box all do i never seam to get in line to wear it as its spending most of the time on some other ... much nicer wrist if i may say so myself the 5513 and the DW are the 2 pieces i just got in on the mini GTG in NL. The DW is obviously the next "to do" project and is already resting on Tribals work bench Laz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
