I was finally able get the screws out of the band and have it sized properly. She really is a beauty! Now I can finally wear it after all these years!

KB...I think it is more accurate to say that the old 'Captain' at the original RWG went down in his Acura...rather than a boat.

He had a great Avatar.

If I remember correctly was he the one with the Penguin tripping the other Penguin???

It was hillarious!!

Wow, I didn't realize asking a question about a watch would generate so much excitement! I have not been active on the board in quite some time and did not realize how much had changed and been forgotten. It is good to see so many of the old names I remember still going strong. This really has grown into a great wealth of knowlege and a fun place to hang out!

Thanks for all your hard work!

The old RWG was with our current and "only" Admin so how could we technicaaly come after

That my friend is a very good question!!

You guys are smoking dope. A fond rememberance? I have mine and will keep it but I remember the other side of it. First, there were the famous Blade stories when he disappeared - "ran off with the money and driving a new Acura", "drafted by the Serbian Army" and finally "thrown in-jail". I also remember the admin team desperately trying to figure out how to make the monthly payment and living in fear as to when the domain subscription would expire. And I remember the thousands of members left hanging. But what I remember first and foremost was Thomas (Admin) stepping up and providing a home at TRC and ultimately starting this place.

Fast forward to today and the rep forums, the management thereof and the hobby itself have now moved onto a whole new level. Long live all of the forums. We will never let that happen to us again.

Exactly how I remember it! I did not believe I would ever see my watch or money after Blade went missing. Did anyone ever get the real story behind his disapearing? Does anyone know how many were completed? Mine says it was 60/100 but never really knew if they made 100.

Call it what you want it was there before we were here!!

They are great looking watches for sure. The leather strap looks good as well. I may have to put one in so I can wear it until I am able to locate a new stainless one.

They are screws. I am able to get some out but not in any combination to make the band fit. They are really cheap screw and the heads are terrible.

Thanks Ken, Do you what dealer may be able to get the stainless bands?

I am still not able to get the screws out of the band to size it. Does anyone have any ideas on what may work or who would be the best guy to try and get a stainless replacement from? It was modeled after the Omega Railmaster but I don't know if it is the same size case and whether or not a band from another rep may fit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Ken,

Still using the same avatar! I remember you were a big part in the design of the watch which I love! I can't believe it is actually running. Now I am trying to get the band sized properly. The screws are either stripped or jammed in and I can't get them out so I am trying to find a replacement that fits properly but with the size of the watch it is not going well.

Good to see you doing well,

G

I've been away quite a while so its good to be back. Noticed many of the same old names from before. The thing that brings me back is my RWG watch from the old forum. I received it after what seemed like forever and doubting that I would ever see it due to the circumstances at the time. However it never ran for more than a few seconds before stopping and actually moving backward a few seconds. Not wanting to pay to have it looked at I put it back in the box where it sat until I found it a couple months ago. It brought back many memories of the old board. I took it to my local watch guy who after many weeks of waiting told me that the problem was caused by three teeth being broken off on one of the gears. He was able to replace it and now for the first time she is running! I will try and get some pics up as it is a beauty. Anyway I was wondering if there are any of you guys out there who also have one and if they are still running or dead! I am trying to decide whether to wear it or look into trading it for one of the new beauties I see out there now!

WoW some people have way to much free time!!

ROLEX!!

I'd get my bullet proof vest out if I were you! You may want to try reading a little before asking that question!

Good luck,

Gpuck

A card would be nice. May help pep him up after he comes around.

Anyone have an update on Ken? I wish you a speedy recovery.

Gpuck
