I guess in the end you will have the people that just want to hook up.. find the dealers section ... but a rep ... that 's all she wrote .... but the new members that have stayed ... have contributed greatly to the community.. and are greatly appreciated. all these topics really help us find solutions to a variety of issues .. so discussion is good ... it really opens up problems whose solutions come in many forms.. and guide us through the discussion to other areas that otherwise would be left unattended. A~C L

Isn't it great when you have an Admin Team that really is passionate about the place affirmative Dem.. but this has been going on for most of the Summer.. so a little concern by the rank and file does no harm.. just supporting the work that T and the Admin Team are putting into the new system.. A~C L

Mickey... the only way we can make this the best community .. is for you to stay put and work together to make it so. We need to take a proactive stance ... by walking away we just abandoned everything that we have built and loved. Remember Admin and the rest of the Admin team have full time jobs. and business' ... if T is going to take the weekend to upgrade the glitches.. then he is sacrificing his time with family .. as he has done countess times before.. the least we can do is show some loyalty and support his "actions".. I hear your frustration.. it is mine also.. but I will choose to stay and work at keeping this community whole..as will many others.. I hope we can count on you through the tough times too .. A~C Lani

This has been great for the Community gang !!.. Some solid feedback that the Admin Team can use !! From the vets to the not so vets... keep it coming.. I understand that the Powers that be will be working on upgrading the system this weekend.. So now is the time to shout out,. and "list" the issues that most concern you.. this is your Community !!! What happens now is up to ALL of US ... L

I have thought about this very issue A. .. and with you as the subject of the issue.. I remember your 40 hr. plus reviews.. very good point !!!

I agree Ray.. the rating system for the posts can be misleading and anyway opinions will never be agreed upon by everyone.. nor should they. hopefully your input will make a difference.. I;m sure when the rating system was implemented it was done with good intentions.. but it takes constructive input like yours to effect change.. I seriously hope you stay a part of this community Ray.. I miss your posting here.. A~C L

Welcome J. Aloha~Cheers Lani

there are some good deals out there.. TJ is one of the most disciplined shoppers here.. I'm usually a "cheap" shopper when it comes to other items.. I have zero discipline when it comes to this hobby.. A~C Lani

Not sure I understand your question.. if you are referring the strap being cut down to size.. the pins need to be removed from the clasp.. then the rubber strap needs to be cut at each end then reattached to the clasp.. don't try and cut it all off at once if your not 100% sure of how much of the strap you need removed to fit your wrist.. I would take 2 or 3 sections off from each end and my wrist is about 7.5" give or take ... according to my diet..

I just switched over to Firefox .. everything is moving at light speed... wonder if this is all that I needed.. We'll see.. L

Well, I just tried to post this 4 times previously and was sent to an "error" page.. and this is not the first time.. I'm not "worried' but there has been a slow drop off ... so we as members need to get proactive.. if it is not worth commenting on.. then no harm no foul.. but if as many members voice their concerns then we are working together..

We definately are creatures of habit... maybe the older members can chime in.. Now's the time to be candid.. I'm sure no one will take it personally.. L

I had posted a thread concerning Community involvement regarding posts.. It's not secret .... we.ve really slowed down on our traffic.. Carl suggested we ask .. so what are your thought's .. if you stopped being as active.. why ? RWG IMO is still the front runner in member's that have made this forum the best with brand knowledge of the genuine pieces.. but we have definately slowed traffic.. even though there are enough members on the board to sustain more traffic.. To bring a post from another thread.. So what are your thought's ?? L

Ok it is certainly worth a Thread !! If you don't mind Carl I'll use your post to start up another thread.. thanks Carl.. A~C Lani

Congrats Red !! the solitary issue I have with my Ubifranken Tudor... . . is that no matter what I decide to wear before hand, the Snowflake has a magnetic quality and I end up picking it up without hesitation.. everyday ,, Live Strong and Wear It Well A~C L

there are other factors also.. new releases dropped off due to the slow economy... Conversly more genuines are being bought.. the price is right for them now if you can find the cash.. I'm just trying to get more members active in the community.. but maybe there will always be a percentage that chooses to stay silent .. for whatever reason.. A~C Lani

maybe it's the thread .."are we being watched" ... or just shyness .. apathy on the Newcomers part.. but what good is a watch forum if you all leave it up to just a few individuals to post new topics or review a piece... let's see action !!.. Seriously I for one would like to hear from the newer members .. A~C L

Noobs this thread is for you !!!!! I thought I'd bring this topic up as I see many new usernames on the board.. but none of you are posting .. you really don't have to be an expert horologist to post and become a "active" part of this community.. Look at me .. It took me forever to learn how to remove movements and swap crystals.. no one made fun .. but your not going to get anywhere just reading.. experience is the best teacher.. mistakes are the best tool at times.. Too many members make the wrong purchase only to say.. but I "hung out" for a year.. but they never posted any quesions to avert making the mistakes a lot of us have.. we could of saved you some $$$. We're gearing up for a mega membership upgrade drive and raffle.. instead of 1 watch as a "give away" I think I may dig down and offer multiple prizes.. So .. unless you favour just dangling your feet... jump in head first.. the waters fine !! We have members like Ubiquitous.. who can build a watch .. no problem .. and is one of the leaders in tech info.. with the Rolex line.. but he will never put you down .. he is always humble and patient with all of us.. so unless your posting and getting active.. you're really wasting what RWG has to offer.. Common.. let's see 'ALL' you members that have not or hardly have posted.. chime in on this thread !!!! simple OK.. will do for starters.. We really need more activity and you guy's are the new blood that keeps the wheels turning !!SO POST !!! A~C Lani

Some Doxa Love..Wednes~day

OK.. I put a straight blade on it.. it appears to be flat.. copy on the Hawaiian vacation.. looking forward to you coming to the islands !! L

It "appears" flat.. but I am having a hard time judging this one.. at times in light it appears to be a fraction of a mm domed and at times I read it to be flat.. so We'll wait until you recieve yours and then report ... A~C L

don't tell me your not being shown the "back room" Hope your having a great time there OS !!!.... Thank you all for your thoughtfullness and kindness.. it is definately speeding my recovery.. A~C L

It appears flat..

The ROO is, or at least appears larger on the wrist due to the case and bezel..and added to that is the bracelet.. the Sinn rep. is a fraction of a mm under 44 the genuine is 44mm so the difference will, or is not noticable.. I did not post any wrist shots.. I have yet to cut down and size the rubber strap..Again, it is a heavy watch as is the genuine.. I'll see if I can get a side by side with the ROO sometime this week.. L
