Friends, Romans, Countrymen ... WIS far and wide, lend me your ears. It is time to add some new RWG Staff Members! We've had a long series of discussions in the Smoking Lounge (at least until the single malt and fine cigars ran out) and many names were suggested. We battled and whittled down the list until the names of a few fine upstanding members remained. These are fine blokes, good solid members, the ones who always seem to be here, lending a hand, welcoming noobs, answering for the 1,000th time "Who has the best Sub?" and conveying the culture of good old RWG. I'm honored to walk beside these good men. Please join me in giving a hearty welcome to the new RWG Moderators.... AstonJenks DenimHead Legend Nikki6 Panerai153 WELCOME ABOARD GENTS!

Thank you fellows for the trust that you have shown to all of us "new guys". Like Legend so eloquently stated , this is probably the easiest of the forums to moderate. I say that primarily because for the most part the members here have a great sense of community, and treat each other with courtesy and respect. As i have stated to both nanug and Mike on a bike, the things that are of the most importance to me are honesty and civility. Because we operate in an anonomous world for the most part, everything is based on trust. I trust you to describe the watch you have for sale in the sales forum as honestly and completely as you can. I trust that you will deliver the same watch to your buyer, and not sell it ten times on several forums and run with the money. And it goes beyond sales, it is reflected in your everyday interactions with others. The second area is civility. Again, because we live in this computerized anonomous society, it sometimes becomes easy to say things that you would never say to a person in a face to face conversation. While this may make one feel "empowered, and superior" in the end, nothing good is gained. So esentially my feelings are that there is nothing wrong with spirited conversations, and disagreements as long as they do not deteriorate to character assassinations. The big reason that I feel this way is probably related to my experiences on other forums. Those that have the "wild west, anything goes" attitude, and seem to thrive on threads that rapidly deteriorate into name calling and shouting matches certainly have their followers, but i would bet that they run off more serious enthusiasts than they attract. When you fail to attract serious new members, you eventually find yourself with a dwindling membership and eventually a dead forum. Over the ten years that I have been here, there have been hundreds of good guys who were very active, but for whatever reason found other interests and eventually became inactive. To keep the forum alive and thriving, we have to have enthusiastic new members to take the place of those who have dropped out, as well as add new ideas and knowledge. Remember folks, that new guy asking questions was you a few months or years ago!! Thank you again, and my greatest hope is that i can make a positive contribution to RWG.

And a group photo ...... Sorry, couldn't resist.

Welcome aboard gents! You'll do great here. Now where did I put my Ken's Left Nut axe?

Rotor doesn't make any noise as is not ball bearing design If it does, then is three possibilities 1. Movement casing screw touching rotor 2. Case back clearance 3. Reversing wheels went bad As far as the date jumping two dates, the date jumper has to be adjusted or replaced with gen Mike Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cheers to the new mods!

Thanks for the well wishes guys! Will do my best to follow in the footsteps of some top mods and admins and to always put the best interest of this forum first! This is my home, through this forum and some very patient members, I managed to learn how to navigate around the web using my blind software. I'll never forget that and I'll never be able to pay the forum back in full, but I'll do everything I can to try!

Very nice. Congrats guys

The new cartel cases are absolutely great for modding for the bucks imo.. Have a look at my 1680. 1st unmodded- only aged 2nd modded, aged with 702 crown, relumed dial and some more case shaving.
