roflmao, like I dont know where I'm at.... I'm not well connected, I lucked out. Simple as that, And why would I be wanting to make you look bad by asking you to do a group buy for a good deal? An impartial admin trying to organize a group buy to benefit members... lol.. your really grasping at straws here.. Not sure why.. but if I can talk every dealer into giving a good deal to members ... I'd think I'm doing a pretty damn good job.. Why would you not want to offer a good deal to members? You are trying to make me look bad... for what? Is it because someone other than I said that this is not the HBB model? I dont ever recall saying that it was. As for a 28,800 movement... I have my suspisions as I noted... and plan to have it timed because I agree with you.. .it's not. It's just ironic that you choose this thread to throw your 2 cents in. I would love your input but I dont think you've logged in on RWI in quite a while. I would swear that your rhetoric does not sound like the Jos of old... especially with all of the " .... " reminds me of someone else. What I would have expected from you was... "hey.. nice photos, do you have plans on getting the HBB model that will come out soon, I think you'll be impressed with the quality... good review!". but maybe I'm expecting too much. As for pulling a HBB model out of my ass before everyone else.... lol... I'm sitting on the dealers waiting list just like everyone else.. I just hope that the dealer I'm buying it from does not get muscled out by pressure put on the maker as was the case just last month. I'm not sure why the hostility towards me Jos, hope one day we can sort that out. PM me so I know where we go from here..

On a serious note.. I have my questions about it being 28,800bph, I plan to take it to a friend to time it. Obviously I did not state that this is from the HBB maker as it is not, I'm the type who owns more asian movements than swiss because I would rather have a wider range of watches than be limited with higher prices (which I think could be the case with the HBB maker made one). I'm excited to see which ones the HBB maker makes, so far.. what has been shared with me is that there will be more of the normal swordfish made than this "Big 12-6" version. Those new to this watch, go check out their website, you will see several versions of the swordfish ... all pretty nice imo... love to have fun with new watches...

lol.. funny that I couldnt get this guy to log onto or post on RWI in a 1/2 year .... until I post something that is makes him go.... hmmm...... Thanks for the news Jos, much appreciated... and seeing that this one is readily available, not from the HBB maker and only 21,600vph I'm sure you could do a group buy special pricing to take care of RWG and RWI members Right? How about... $200 for this shitty version? Sounds fair... and really appreciate the participation! We have needed a group buy special price for a long time! Fantastic ... I'm excited.... now.. where is it on your website? I cant seem to find this anywhere... ?

and why do you say it is not made by the HBB maker?

Yep, the running seconds are at the "9" position and represented by a little red triangle that spins around on top of the hour (subdial) hand.

I'm glad you brought that up. I did a quick polish with some cape cod and got a little bit on the strap. I rubbed it off with a dry wash cloth (not the first stupid thing I've done)... I would have to say that it is not like the HBB, it is softer and does attract more lint.. but not horribly. I am being very critical of this watch, I do really like it.. and am pretty satisfied with it, I'm not disappointed that I bought it.

My new one...

Yes, extremely quickly! And that picture is exposed for about 15 seconds just to take it.

~Removed~ sorry.. maybe bad timing.. Looking forward to the model the HBB maker comes out with. I'll be sure to do a review of that one when it comes. Hope they make a Big 12-6 version of that one too!

We easily have 15 people from RWI that will be attending this GTG in San Fransisco on April 26th. I am flying 1800 Miles with my wife just to attend this event. Some of our most dedicated WIS will be in attendance which makes it a cant miss for me. The last one was one for the ages from what I here. We are flying in on Friday the 25th and leaving Sunday morning. It would be great if there were even more to swap stories with! It's going to be a blast! Dont miss out!

THANK GOD HE TAKES AFTER MOM! LOL! (just like all of mine do) he is precious!

It does not get much hotter than this fellas... what more to want in a peep show! She'll taste like sugar on your tongue!

Great news, thanks for participating. These things dont go over really well but figured I'd try and get 10 total just for kicks...

You have friends all over the world POTR. RWI as previously mentioned is happy to help the efforts started here on RWG. We have our own thread going and hope that it is beneficial to you in some way. Forums and it's members need to stick together and rally around those in need. Keep the chin up POTR, you are a resourceful guy and will rebound with your finances and your health. My prayers are with you bro.

obviously I am not one of their admins but I will say that a day or two ago someone copied me on some code that was appearing on their website. It was php errors... it is just a bad line in their code, sometimes it is easy to get rid of, other times it is not. Now it appears that they are trying to move back to their new server and it's possible that it has the DNS servers around the world spinning in circles. They might be getting some professional help to fix their site as well... these things are very touchy!

hello and welcome. You've hit the mother load of information here. jump into conversations and dont be a stranger. Find the search button and search every question you ever wanted to know...it's probably found somewhere in these vast threads.

yeah.. I was wanting to purchase a watch from josh or andrew and all of their servers are down. Oh snap..

One last shameless bump... Also noting that I flip flopped on my Michigan State pick, going with Pittsburgh. We have 5 or 6 right now... would love to add another one or two... Hey TT,, your Ducks are dancing!! (but not for long probably) lol

I have an ETA reference guide in my signature below. Maybe there is something in there than can help you. But as already mentioned, 2824 has date function, 2836 has day/date function.

I know there are several members who live in Windsor and commute to Detroit, Troy, Ann Arbor Michigan that could take this back across the border with them. But like I said. I would be willing to meet someone in Port Huron (MI) Sarnia (ON) or Detroit (MI) Windsor (ON) Pete25ca I think is 1/2 way between Niagara and Windsor I think.

OK, 4 of us so far... open for more! Dont be a stranger!

It's great to have you here, you are amongst some very fine people and a wealth of knowledge.

I love this time of year. I am starting the RepFora March Madness bracket on Yahoo Sports. It's free to participate and I encourage everyone who likes basketball to do so. It will be a great time! You have to have a yahoo account (free) to use the bracket, just sign up even if you never plan to use the email. Go here to join the group: http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/...ister/joingroup The Group Name and Number is: RepFora (Group ID# 73526) The password... is " jetmid " lol... couldnt help myself. Everyone from RWI, RWG1, RWG2, TRC and Repgeek can join. Good luck guys.. we should be able to pick our teams soon! I'm looking forward to waxing the floor with most of you!

I buried the hatchet a long time ago with Neil... But I cannot not make a comment in this thread. We at RWI were CRUCIFIED here and on RWI for making this very same decision. His dealer status was removed for the same reasons as here, then after a 2nd round of threats (the first coming when he threatened Tim and his family) and the second when he publicly made the threats to me we had to ban him as RWG did. I hope that one day, if I ever threaten you and your family and your friends and the forum for which you love and all the hard work that you have put into it that all of you react the same way... with compassion and understanding and with a sincere desire that I get better... or at least give me some of the drugs that you are taking.. because that will numb the pain of pulling my hair out. And the people who say... I know you were just threatened.. and a number of your staff, and the tools that you use to fund the forum, and the forum itself... but... "what about my hundred dollar watch".. OMG.. let me say it again... OMG.. As stated in a private pm to an RWG admin... RWI offers it's support in any way we can, even if it's just a word of encouragement. The best thing RWG can do is get past this.

...and he said... "look at the ears on that one!" and the argument was put to rest.
