Corgi

Lord Rasta is what RWG is all about.

Hublot sponsor everything they can get their hands on. Every sporting event, venue, business... soon we will see Hublot tooth paste and Hublot cell phones I kid you not.

If you want a watch with the convenience of quartz but without the give-away tick, why not just get a model without a seconds hand on it? I know it's irrelevant to the original question but regardless, I think it's the only solution right now.

Amazing Datejust. But all of them are just gorgeous.

I despise this show so much that my hatred towards it (actors included) cannot even be described in words.

Even if somebody stapled a gyro-tourbillon to the kid's face I still wouldn't give this POS excuse for entertainment the time of day.

Harsh words coming from an honest dog...

Few people have ever had the nerve to ask me about my watches.

Personally, I'm a little frightened now Greg! Are you a fire-breather or what?

Since I live in a tiny village, most people don't even know there are watches outside of those available directly to the left of the cashier at WALL*MART. So when somebody does notice, I always send them a big smile and a "thanks, that's very kind of you sir/ma'am/miss!" (About the last one: I wish..)

These cars were extremely dangerous...like sitting inside a cardboard box... except with a giant container of gas right in front of your face.

Why didn't you just tell the first guy it was a rep so he could fix it for you?

Maybe he didn't want to embarrass himself or the man who inspected it?

I don't have a macro lens unfortunately. Maybe I should get one, instead of the next watch.

Anyway, thanks for the tip on the blue stuff. Pretty sticky.

Since I don't know what the date wheel is supposed to look like, I guess I'm not missing much. In my searches, I found at least 3 different datewheel locations and looks on the genuine article, so meh.

Here is the gen:

As far as I can tell a Stainless Steel/Platinum/White gold variant does not even exist.

Oh my god what the hell did they send you???? What's with the date wheel???

Looks like Corgi just dodged a bullet.

Hey Tim,

You're definitely not alone. I'm from Ottawa myself... I've been here a while and there are indeed several Torontonians here, of this I can assure you.

Welcome Tony! Be careful my friend, once that first rep comes, it never ends! You just want more and more of these little things... it's an addiction, a drug, a hard narcotic! You'll go bananas one day - by the end of it your life will revolve around watches... this is a very "consuming" lifestyle!!!

The "obama" outfit reminds me of what Izhar Cohen used to wear on stage!!! Funny!!!!

Sure TJ,

I just made a humorous suggestion regarding girls (not even "nude girls", check my post) and Corgi attacks on a sudden and bitter "grown up" answer? Then I could take out of it that I'm not a grown up, that he's a pretty bitter and angry person, that he may be gay (which is nothing bad, I do have gay colleagues and friends... specially girls ) and that he doesn't like any female figure, dressed or not, as easy as he imagines that a girl in a watch calendar must be nude.

Sorry about this, I won't add any more to this thread as I don't want to go personal on a board so important to me and that is a motive of lots of laughter and joy. Bitter people won't get any more of my time as a plain member. Any more to add to this subject that wants to be said to me please use the pm function.

I'm all about the calendar and the ideas you guys have posted, even the bitter ideas if they sum up.

Chino.

Lanikai, I apologize that my comment has derailed the thread so. I didn't mean to write a personal attack against anyone. I think the 'girls girls' thread is precisely there to serve the purpose of housing whatever female-oriented images aficionados of such content prefer. Chino, I find your accusation to be extremely inappropriate and I won't even reply to it, because it's such an outrageous thing to say to someone, that I don't think you meant to write that at all.

I've often heard the term "watch porn" used here... what could be better than that? We have some immensely talented photographers here on the forum and I would be content if the photos were of watches exclusively.

How about a small section of "OMG-that is the WORST disaster"/ Rep/ attempt that we have or have seen on ebay, canal street etc...

-Title it "what not to do"--- or better yet, put them on the cover and have nothing but photos of everybodies best...

my 2 cents..

-K

Following this, I'd like to see an "evolution of the sub rep." We all know the plain submariner is one of the most popular timepieces. So why not examine its past? Start with photos of poor reps, and then move onto the highest quality available now - MBK, noob, nympho, etc... eventually reaching a picture of the gen!

If you treat your watch with care, operate it with gentleness, and do not expose it to harsh elements like water, then I don't see why it wouldn't do 5+ years....

I have many old ASIAN powered reps now hitting the 2 year mark, and these are the "notorious" 7750 chrono, I use the stopwatch frequently mind you...

how 'bout adding a couple of girls with watches pics? artistic pics though... a timelime with watch/board highlights at the bottom?

How about you just google "naked girls" and have fun while us grown-ups put together something for the entire community to enjoy. This calendar will be something I want to hang in the living room and so help me if there are girls in it...

great idea lani. I like the horilogical fact idea.

I used to have a daily 'fact or crap' calender. everyday was a different question and you had to guess fact or crap.

Maybe me have a weekly horilogical 'fact or crap'. We could have a weekly thread that ties in with it even.

another thought would be to have important dates in watch history. kind of like when they put the holidays on. for example on october 23, 2008 rolex unveiled the gaytona II. obviously that wont happen for at least 2 years but if we could find say the release date for the first rolex gmt, we could put it in the calander. we would only need 20 dates at most. just a thought though.

Exactly... great idea. But do it with RWG (or just general rep) history as well. Example: The Zigmeister's first post, first ban, first HBB photo released, etc...

I think it's important to mention that browsing scam sites, even just for fun or to have a laugh, can be dangerous... I hear some of them have viruses and trojans.

Given that, yes, these people will concoct ridiculous lies and I can betcha more than a few people fall for them.

At least they are communicating with him and (hopefully) sending him a watch. There are worse scammers out there who simply "take the money and run".

Are these going to be physical paper/card calendars or printable computer files like pdf or jpeg?

Essentially you need 12 pictures correct?

I think everyone agrees its the lume that makes it a great watch.

So it's possible to get a real quartz ETA movement in replica watch? That good news

My answer to this question would be "yes, but it will likely be very over priced."

This makes me feel so ashamed... Ottawa doesn't even have a single Breitling or UN dealership...
