  1. A few straps Ive made this week.

    in My Collection

    Posted

    No, Ive given a couple away... But I actually just make them for myself. SO far Ive made 11 different ones. I have been doing some searching and found a Ferrari parts yard in Los Angeles that has a set of headrests from a 1991 Testarossa. I may give up my new watch this month to buy the pair... I would REALLY like to have a couple straps made from Ferrari leather!

    I think there may be a market for this - Cheers - and one more thing - great job - cheers again :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    Anything within a couple of minutes per day is good enough for me. Nothing in my life is so time sensitive that being off a couple of minutes matters at all. I do have a dress Santos Dumont rep that is quartz and it is my most accurate rep. The rest vary from a few seconds to a few minutes per day. Cheers

    I collect Scotch and Bourbon whiskey's, I draw and paint and enjoy golf as often as possible but find my schedule restricts my opportunities for both of these. My family comes first in my life and we manage to enjoy family supper time which we spend together every day. My children are still young enough that their schedules and interests allow this. It really is the best part of my day. I am writing down the collection of bedtime adventure stories that I told my son when he was a little guy and plan on illustrating them myself to make an adventure book for young boys. Finally, I try every day to let the people I love, know how much they mean to me in case I do not have that opportunity tomorrow. I have found this to be a good way to live my life. Cheers

  12. Guys HELP..I'm overwhelmed!

    in The Rolex Area

    I'm all for saving money but, if there is a Rolex GMT 2 out there or even a vintage double red or something that is interesting AND accurate then someone please point me to a dealer or site that is really good. Weeding through all of the posts here is daunting. I only want the very best and most accurate replicas.

    Welcome to the forum. I am all for helping new people but think that they should put in a little effort too. This is your first post and you are asking for members to just hand over the "keys to the Kingdom" so you do not have to weed through postings to find the answers you seek. I have learned so much of value using the search function and I suggest you try using it too. The answers you seek will be found. If you would rather not weed through postings you can pay $$$ and upgrade to a VIP membership which will expose you to the best dealers who frequent RWG. Answers can be found this way too. I hope you stick around and learn and share. Your contributions will be welcome. Cheers

    If you don't like it, no need to read these topics. As it says under the "looney bin";

    And I'll call your 16 years and raise you 30 years ;) Grown men also like fine looking girls. Maybe not the best first posts, but while I was browsing the forum I got this in my e-mail and I noticed the looney bin and figured it to be the perfect place. Also, I'm new to watches and replicas, but I'll read up and in the maintime I'll contribute where I can contribute ;)

    OK lets start over - welcome to the forum - Cheers

  17. Watchmaker9 16613 blue just received this morning.

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

    Hi, Im new.

    Bought 16610 off watchmaker9 over 15 months ago and still as good as new, So when the new modol came up for sale (as a VIP ) and at the cheaper price of $499 for the 16613, i had to reserve the watch back in Feburary and pay a 10% deposit. It finally arrived this morning 1 day late and beleive me what a watch. Anybody who will not trust this company or George don't know what their taking about. I have seen some reps which freinds of mine have bought and no comparison what so ever. The dial, the solid gold link's, the shape and thickness of the case it is truly a excellent watch. When i go home tonight i will look at serial numbers between the lugs and post photo's as quickly as i can. i was reading all about watchmaker9 on your forum in june and could not believe what i was reading sometime's, the company are good. PS $649 is now the price for this watch.

    Anybody who will not trust this company or George don't know what their taking about.

    One post on RWG and he insults anybody who disagrees with his point of view. Off to a great start baglc1. Are you a shill for watchmaker9? Photos of this watch will allow people to decide for themselves whether this is a great watch or not. :g:

  19. gen or fake?

    I never thought about it, but I guess when you put it that way, your absolutely right. I think that knowledge we have that others take for granted is worth the price of admission.

    This is so true before I found this forum I would have accepted that GMT as the real thing ... now I am able to pick out the flaws quite easily. Why? Because I stand on the shoulders of others who have chosen to share their knowledge here at RWG. Cheers

  21. Beware yinmax.com

    in Name & Shame

    I "volunteered" to be scammed. Firstly, I had been tracking them and testing them for 2-3 months, by asking questions about specific offerings and their business practices (Warranty, returns, etc). [First rule of safe replica buying: communicate with the seller ... ask questions. If they don't communicate, don't buy.] And they did very well with their communications ... prompt responses ... reasonable answers. Looked good!

    But, in a prior post on RWG, I suggested I might buy a YachtMaster II from them. I was strongly encouraged NOT to do so. I began looking very carefully. I searched for "yinmax.com" on our forum and found the other thread in which YinMax was discussed. The discussion there was just not conclusive as to whether yinmax was a scam or not. I determined to find out. The YinMax site is very well done, as a scam. The clues and come-on are very subtle and not easy to catch by newbies like me.

    But, I was looking for a source for an IWC Pilot Calssic midsize. I couldn't find it among any of our 'preferred' sites [First good clue: If our dealers don't have, don't offer it, there is probably a reason. The reason is, there is no such replica presently available.] I went to YinMax and asked a few questions about the IWC Pilot Classic midsize they offered. Then I said I was ready to buy. But then I sent a message saying I was truly ready to buy but that I was also testing them as a possible scam site. I told them I was a member of RWG. I encouraged then (actually, 'him', Ying, by name) to visit RWG, to register and to search for "yinmax.com" and read what our folks are saying about them. I pointed out that RWG has 8,000 members and gets 15,000 hits a month ... that RWG was looking to add 1 or 2 new good dealers and that - if our transactions were successful and he proved he was a straight up dealer - I would introduce him into RWG ... a gold mine for him! But then I also told him if he scammed me, I would make sure everybody on the internet who could spell R-E-P-L-I-C-A wouid know of YinMax and know they are a scam. But I further said that he had another possible course ... if he discouraged me from making the buy, perhaps by just not answering my message, I would only make sure the good folks at RWG knew he was a scam. Well, that was a week ago. So far as I am concerned, Ying has sent us a clear message. He has decided to discourage me from making the buy. He does not want to be exposed to the world and he knows he cannot collect on my offer to lead him to a pot of gold.

    I was fully prepared to live up to every commitment I made to him.

    And, now I know of so many other signs and clues at yinmax that truly shout, "SCAM".

    RWG is GREAT! RWG has power to protect and help replica enthusiasts! RWG is the safe haven for replica buyers.

    Thanks for the clarification. A very interesting story and another lesson learned. :g::good: Cheers

  25. So what would you say?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I would say "I have the same luck, I bought a painting and a table, a picasso and a chippendale, unfortunately piccaso built [censored] tables and chippendale couldn't paint to save his life"

    Seriously mate,"Interesting watch" and a quiet, "you do realize its a fake", in a concerned tone when nobody is listening would do it.

    Nightmare scenario though :g:

    That is a brilliant way to handle a delicate situation - Cheers
