welcome to my country

If it were me, I will pick a hotel in Orchard if walk-shopping is a priority.

Someone mentioned Mandarin Orchard. That is actually a good choice in terms of proximity, price and comfort.

It's ture....mostly newbs do stuff like this. But not always. I still feel this Is more about comon sense than anything else. Would you stick your dick In a meat grinder? I can't speak for anyone else here....but I would not think this would be a good idea. Would I post my rep on a gen site? No....another very bad idea.

 

A few years back a couple guys at Rep Geek.. I think....I don't know the exact details. But they took there super whatever the fuck It was Rolex to a gen site for all to admire.  The the sole purpose to see If they could pass It off as a gen.....and they almost got away with It. But as always...they were called out on something and shown the door. It's not always the newb. These guys had been around quite a while There have been several examples here and elsewhere that bare this fact out.

 

You know If your watch Is the real thing or not..so again....keep your shit In the right box. If you have a gen Rolex than fine....knock your self out at those gen sites. If It's a rep than keep that shit here or at the other rep sites. Common fucking sense. Now where's my meat grinder?

ouch, you post the most painful stuff...  I prefer this bro

What about 2 week read only followed by exam requiring 95% pass..... then an oath of allegiance...

LOL PeteM you slay me.. while at it, could you also write the lyrics for the RWG anthem? I will write the melody.

After the oath, he will be required to stand and sing the anthem without blinking, with his right hand over his left wrist, where his watch would be.

you're nuttier than Skippy peanut butter bro  

Hello Marko and welcome to RWG. 

Glad to know you placed your first order. Can I know which model you bought please?

Thank you

I have changed your skin back to the "normal" one.

For some reason, that sounded kinda wrong..

Mr Z,

Very nice watch, can I know how much you paid for it, my well-heeled friend?

Thank you

They should take the big A off the front of them and start putting on A-

That looks a little better sts, but lume still a little shoddy in places, any closer pics of the dial?

"C" is more like it

Entrance exam sounds like a great idea. I have been on some forums that require you to post a minimum number (Say 50-100) posts in other threads before you have permission to start a thread, or sell in the sales forum. it just seems like we have had a really large number of folks with 1-50 posts posting and starting threads both in the General Discussion and Rolex forums. From reading their posts it's pretty evident that a fair number of them haven't done any research at all. I suspect that it's getting close to Christmas, and a lot of noobs are here shopping for Christmas watches!!

1-50 posts before they are allowed to start a new thread seems fair actually.. this way, the newbies are forced to read and explore the forum if they are serious about hanging around.

Hmm.. I wonder if the admin would look into this.

The issue isnt really about reemphasising the more common sense need to know facts about this hobby.......

The issue is that the majority of the new guys just cant be arsed to read a single thread when they join....they dont make any effort to read the noob guides... "obviously they are for real noobs not someone like me.."

Personally I think any new members should be made to read only for first 2 weeks... except maybe allowed to post in intro section... and accept when registering that during that time they will read and accept certain links written by more senior guys on here to guide the new members....extreme maybe... but hey...

May be they wont but then they have no excuse when they cross any lines....

Afterall i wonder how many will read this...

I agree. We were all noobs once and I am just starting to step out of noobhood myself. It certainly irks me a lot to see a one day old fawn coming in here and asking "Where is the best place to buy a rep rolex from?" or "Which dealer is the best?" or "How do I tie my shoelace?"

Most just wanna WRITE, few would wanna READ. I think an entrance test might be necessary and members would need to score 95% and above to join

ZK my buddy, had fun without me?

Now, bring out the damned vodka, this calls for a drink or three.

PBDad is your guy...

I personally think that wearing rose gold has a little to do with age, but also dressing style and of course, personal preference.

Really? In terms of accuracy, the LV is still closer than the black theme? Definitely getting the Chrono, just want another as my daily beater Now you got me thinking of the LV, but I'm still uncertain. LV, or black theme or any other options?

I think I have answered enough of your questions. Do some research, and see what you really want. Every model is flawed, its just a matter of what you can live with.

Yes Master Yoda, may the fakes be with you too.

At this point I'm thinking of getting the ChronoV5, Black Theme and the new 15300. Do you have any recommendations? Top 5 in order?

Thnks

Its hard to put the watches in order my young friend.

But for starters, I consider the watches you listed to be FAIRLY passable in terms of accuracy and build quality.

Go for what your heart desires.. bewteen the black theme and the chronopassion though, I would pick the chronopassion for its blasted titanium case finish. Thats just my personal preference. If you have not seen it in real life yet, the finishing just looks awesome. Rugged, masculine, and it looks like it wants to go to war in Afghanistan.

Compared to the Black theme, is LV closer still?

(hopefully helpful to OP whos also searching for this color combination)

Yes, it is. If anything, its the lack of lume I dislike in the black theme.
