Phew...it took a lot longer than I had thought, but we are finally online again As you can see, there are some rather big changes and to be honest, I'm not even sure where to begin to tell you about what is new here Well, I can start with one essential thing. We are back to our old forum URL: http://www.rwg.cc, so feel free to update your bookmarks. But don't worry. You will still get here if you enter www.rwgforum.com, but if you have any direct links to posts, you might have some trouble. First of all, the forum software has been updated to the latest and greatest version. But that's just the start. Let me right away introduce the change I am most exited about; Classifieds As of today, the old "sales" forums are closed for new posts and we will actively start using the classifieds section. Old ads are still there and people can reply to these, but nobody will be able to make new posts in these areas. From now on we will have a dedicated area where you can post your items for sale and I will need your help to develop and customize this section further than what I have already done (I am refering to the "Options", "Shipping options". etc. What should we add here? Anyway, the best way is to test this out for yourselves. Head on over to the Test sales-section and try posting a new ad: http://www.rwg.cc/cl...ort_order__desc Oh, and all members will be able to post ads for free the first month. Just use coupon code "adfree" Feedback The feedback system has been updated and should now work flawlessly. This will be integrated into the classifieds section. Like I am sure many of you are on Facebook and have "liked" many posts made by your friends there. Well, now you can like posts here on RWG also and you can start by liking this one by clicking the little button down in the right corner Forum Ca$h A little something we've had before, but I will have to get back to you with an update when this is ready for use, as I haven't been able to fully configure it yet, but basically it is something that will give our members points (forum cash) for their activity here and these points (forum cash) can at a later stage be invested, donated, you can purchase something for it, etc. More info will be posted later. Review section More info will be posted at a later stage, when this areas is ready. Not sure yet, but I think we will use it both to post dealer reviews and watch reviews. Donations The donations module has been upgraded and polished. Feel free to try it. You should see it in the sidebar or you can go here: http://www.rwg.cc/donate RWG on your mobile You can already use TapaTalk to access RWG on your mobile (iPhone, Android, Blackberry) and you can download the app here: http://www.tapatalk.com/mobile.php We have now also added support for Forumrunner, which is another great app to access forums on the go. Forumrunner features free push-messages to both iPhone and Android and this is not a feature Tapatalk has yet. Search for Forumrunner either in the App Store or Android Market. Last, but not least, let us not forget the great mobile skin we have. Just use the browser on your mobile and go to http://m.rwg.cc X World Not going to spend to much time on this. Let's just say that it's a place for the boys to hang out and enjoy the scenery Up to you if you just want to watch or if you also want to contribute. Take advantage of a 1 month free-pass to this section. Go to the RWG Store and add some X to your profile: http://www.rwg.cc/st...t/20-x-member/. Use coupon code "x-off" Remember to hit "I have a coupon to use" and enter your coupon before you check out Oh, by the way; we need a moderator for this area, so if you feel that you can contribute in this area and can moderate members contributions, send me a PM with a short description of you, your forum experience and why you should be the moderator. Let me just end this by asking you guys to do the following; 1. Check that your avatar/photo is correct. If not, upload a new one 2. Check that your signature is correct and edit, as necessary. Also, if you have not done this, this might be a good time to update your profile with your age, location, local time (The local time will show in your posts, so that people know if you are about to go to bed or just got up ) etc. Always good to get to know you a little bit better. Finally, let me just say that this has been a massive upgrade and I have added tons of new buttons for our crew members to pus also. As usual, there will be people who doesn't like what they see and how things work, but after having done this for some time, i also know that usually everybody gets used to the new features, new design, etc. and end up liking it. So please don't start right away with the complaints. Give it a couple of weeks and get back to me then There are bound to be things that doesn't work so please PM me or shoot me an e-mail (admin@rwg.cc) if you find stuff that doesn't work. I can right now say that the advanced uploader is not working very well for me in the version I am running of Firefox, but it is wokring without a hitch in IE 9 (Havn't tried it on Chrome, so feel free to let me know if it works or not). So if you are having a hard time uploading attachments, try another browser or use the basic uploader. This also goes if you discover something else that doesn't work. First, try deleting all your temporary internet files and cookies and then try again. If it still doesn't work, try another browser and if it still doesn't work, let me know. Well, I think that's about it for now. Have a look around, play with the new buttons and switches and feel free to share your initial thougths. Oh, and if you want to grab a free VIP membership, you can do that also. Yep, I'm feeling mighty generous tonight, so I am giving away free VIP memberships. Just go to the store, add a 1 month VIP membership to your cart and when you go to check out, use coupon code "freevip" Lot more fun to surf the forum without the ads And if you still want to contribute, feel free to add your donation in the toolbare to the right or go to http://www.rwg.cc/donate.

I think our wristies are nicer than those on the gen sites.

Wow, great pair of watches to start the thread. Love the texture on that Sub and that flame-broiled strap! Speedmaster on donerix croc:

Omega PO Chrono.. Correct Sub Dials Before you do anything else.. check and make sure the spring bars are secure.. weather it be the rubber strap or ss bracelet.. in some of the pics below notice how the rubber strap has a slight space to the lug.. the spring bar was not secure.. and the watch popped of my wrist while I was strapping it on. Just a few thoughts regarding this rep..with the newly introduced A7750 modded to alloow the correct sub spacing you'll have to live with the adding depth to the Date Window due to the added mods .. if you can get past that and the Omega logo that wtill has it's "happy feet" this is quite an accomplishment towards giving the rep community a more correct chrono as compared to the genuine.. Note that the rotor is very noisey .. if you put it up to your ear.. like only we will do to ascertain it's noise.. but no one else should notice.. Only time will tell with the crown as it was sop to swap the crowns in all the Semasters previously .. the threading does feel like they have redone the tube.. it does not feel poorly threaded as the other models have. it will need at some point ans time a trip to Cali to chiefs AR service.. the Ar on the rep is good .. close to the genuine but a little too much of a tinted look in the light I have been running it for 24 hours now and so far it has been keeping the exact time to what it was set with.. This is a pic of the genuine crystal on the left white dial.. and chiefs crystal on the right .. Pumpkin.. rep crystal is in the pic above,.. all crystals are recieving full straight on lighting..the rep, the genuine, and Chiefs The feel is more comfortable with the rubber straps.. the ss bracelet is very heavy .. the strap also gives an illusion of a smaller case set.. but I like the bracelet.. .. for now.. I believe a burnt orange gator from hktan is in order !! Other than that.... if you are thinking of a chrono watch.. now is the time and this is .. I am sure only the first of many if this modded A7750 is sucessful The bracelet .. I prefer it for now.. but the rubber strap fits perfectly at the lugs and does allow the appearance to seem a little smaller on the wrist.. and of course is lighter .. btw.. the bracelet is a bear to attach.. so if you have it on at first think hard about swapping it.. This is a Chief AR.. same time of day and lighting as the pic of the rep above and it has the rep bezel insert but an after market pearl that is OEM specs Aloha~Cheers Lani

Have a nice day everyone !

Or if anybody knows which size rolex tool to buy for a 1680 (Gen Crown). i show a 5.3 and a 6.0, but the crown is 7mm. So, I don't know which to pick...

Agreed Freddy! Some great looking watches today and even better photos! Wearing my SOXA for Thursday:

a1 on leather zulu

Just a little sumptin-sumptin, fresh back from the Canadian Spa!

305 for me today.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Beauty. Some people have said that they had issues with the second crown at 10. What are your thoughts on it?

Welcome welcome! Where abouts in Michigan are you located? I am in the West MI region

thanks plaifender, really appreciate the valuable advice everyone has given me,i cant beleive how helpful everyone is, theres still some humanity around lol, hope you guys dont mind but before i make the purchase ill run the watch pass you guys for your opinion as to wehter i should make the purchase, im gonna go do some research now

I don't think anyone is paying attention to me... YAY for misinformation

So you maybe read a bit more in the forum, than you find easily what u want

Nice discussion, LK. Here's a question, for the sake of argument: Say I have a gen vintage watch and it's missing the pearl. So I find a nice aftermarket pearl, vintagize it, and glue it on. Is my watch still a gen? Now let's say my insert with the new pearl is really nasty. So I find a good PMWF insert, age it slightly, glue in that custom aftermarket pearl, and snap it on. Is my watch still a gen? Now, I'm tired of the boring caseback, so I go looking and shazzam, there's a gorgeous COMEX caseback for sale. I snatch it and put it on my watch. Is my watch still a gen? I'm sure you see where I'm going with this. At what point does it stop being gen and start being fake? Is a '66 GT Mustang without the Hipo small block still a GT?
