  1. Hard to tell with the fuzzy resolution, but the insert is not the modded Ultimate version,.. no way of telling if the rehaut is correct.. as on the Ultimate, the V5 is not correct .. the dial font appears to be too thick for the Ultimate version.. the V5 has a thicker font on the dial which is way off.. this appears to have the thick font..

    Really hard to tell if the steel is of the Ultimate .. to my eye it does not appear to be..

  2. Joshua's is very good at sourcing parts, he sourced a new crown for me when my threading went South.. I haven't had problems with it since.. realistically I would consider the 3717 before the TG..I have the TG (later version) and I like it.. but the 3717 is a must get ..imo..

  3. The newest version 42 mm will be released soon.. The hope is that genuine parts will be interchangable skmce it is being made with genuine as sample

    IMO if you going to spend money on a rep u may as well get one that is accurate Oenone than you can mod down the road

    I have the UPO but would like to get the 42 mm, so I'm waiting on the new release as there is only 1 42 mm that will accept fen parts and it has been discontinued

  4. Lani-

    We always know where to find you. :lol: Actually I always know where to find Ubi too. ;)

    True 2.. I live on the side of my iphone :lol: .. other than that .. I'm trying to emulate Randy's business practices..

    *cough*.. hard at work at the office.. :good:

    Good thing I spent the time on the phone today with you all.. it made for great timing with Christina.. she arrived shortly after I changed and went to the weight room.. so thanks guy's.. :)

    time to start getting to know my future ex...:thumbsupsmileyanim:

    And agree 100 with pizzanoo ... but you'll be my number 1 Rabi still :D

  5. Thanks for the heads up kruzer...

    what some will do to get the "Meister" ID..

    I like "kruzer" .. it reminds me of more carefree day's .. surfing and cruising along the North Shore .. stopping off at the cow pastures hunting those nice mushrooms..for a salad of course.. waiting for the tide to drop down again for the next session.. Jerry Lopez' "Pipeline" sequence on the stereo .. fantasizing that perfect tube..'

    but Watchmeister it is Kruz.. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    btw.. you guy's caught me off guard this morning.. thought ya forgot about me.. :lol:

  6. any update from the OP? I'll buy it if there are marked improvements over the latest and best rep out there (Sead). I have Sead's right now. I had Narikaa's before.

    The Ploprof has been delayed a bit.. (SOP imo).. I expect he PO won't be released exactly as hoped.. but the wait shouldn't be too much longer.. IMO,..

  7. The shoe repair shops have a variety of leather paints.. (not shoe polish).. it is usually a spray canister, but you will also turn the stitching the same colour.. I've used it on golf shoes ..it is "leather" paint..

    the advise from the leather specialists is:.. use acetone to remove the dye or paint that is on the hide before you repaint it.. you need not remove it entirely but the acetone removes most of the paint.. if you go to the cosmetics dept of any store and ask for 100% pure acetone.. (nail polish remover) that is the one that works the best.

    and after the prep.. simply spray the new colour on the hide.. let dry and it's as good as new.. if you want more a matte look the fiberglass scratch brush that is sold on Ofrei .. cousins or here from Watch Bitz.. will turn the shinny finish into a matte one..

    hope that helps..

  8. Welcome first of all

    it's good to have u join this community

    as a new member I would advise getting to know the community before doing any sales, conversley I would advise the same before buying any reps

    the board does not allow members to sell watches as the trusted dealers do forbpurely personal profit as in new reps ordered for just this purpose

    u may want to check with a Moderator as to the issues you may have concerns about as all dealers need to be approved before setting up shop here to protect our membership as a whole.

  9. Don't forget the ongoing Mega raffle

    buy 6 tickets and be upgraded to Supporter

    if you are already a Supporter and purchase 14 tickets you will be upgraded to Platinum and our Plati members will be receiving a special discount on new releases, plus other privleges

    so now is the time to take advantage of the upgrades

  10. PC and Trusty are both factory dealers.. they have their own web sites.. are associates and have served RWG for many years now.. nothing amiss nor irregular.. they are also life long friends.. Joshua from Perfect is the Senior factory dealer and Andrew was brought into the trade by Joshua.. they are both trusted dealers here on RWG..

  11. TJ always outs his own persoanal time aside to contribute to this community whenever the need arises

    and does so unconditionally.

    RWG in my minds eye is about support weather it be reps or lifes challenges

    I can think of many members deserving of the gratitude of the Admin Team' and TJ is right on top of the list...

    In the spirit of this community and the base for support .. This is another example of the love and fellowship that exemplifies RWG

    we come looking for watches and find so much more!!!

    Platinum membership does not IMO make anyone better than... But is a symbol of the support that we embrace as does supporter memberships

    the positive.... "I want to be involved positively" attitude that has kept RWG above the standings of knowledge and good will.

    Comgrats my freind ... Well deserved!!!!!!!!
