I think the membership core is older in RWG. I don't mean the physical age, but we have been into reps and watches for so long... and we all pretty much own all the watches we always wanted. At least I can say that. Maybe that's why the traffic has gone down... we already have everything? Pretty difficult to write new reviews when you don't purchase any new watches, huh? And as someone said earlier, there haven't been many new mainstream watches released. If only they released some popular super rep... like a vintage GMT 1675 or 42mm PO, the place would be on fire again. The last huge hit was probably Skyland. I never liked the forum vs. forum stuff myself... actually I find all that politics a waste of time. I have very good friends in all forums and I try to visit them all. It's the people and watches that matter, forum skin doesn't mean much to me. That being said, RWG is my home as well... TRC/RWG was where it all started for me, and the original "spirit" all transformed here. We have very unique chemistry in the admin team too... sometimes we talk very straight and disagree with eachother, but it never goes to personal level.

Nice one. Wearing this Sub right now.

@Pete: Thanks for the Pro2 pics. I might get this one eventually. I really like it. The only downside is that design wise it's very much like the Steelfish (which I already have).

That's perfect. The best Sub without a doubt!

MBW reps of 1680 have wrong shade of red, but more importantly, they use completely different font. Unfortunately it looks nothing like the genuine Red Sub "SUBMARINER" printing, it's totally off.

Looks like the 4th gen to me, but I could be wrong. It's been years since I owned mine.

I'm really likin' it. Not sure about the mesh though... but the watch. The blue being close to gen? That's amazing... maybe I'll get one for myself. Do you have any wrist shots with the Pro2 bracelet? Thanks man.

Hey Robbie, great to have you back mate. I ended up purchasing one of these, thanks to your awesome pics.

So that means there will be no more Grade A+++ Swiss Made Rolexes? Damn. I wonder if Idealwatches and Replicacenter are still in business. They were the ones that almost got me. But "almost" is the key word here... it always sounded fishy, especially their message forum.

Some people simply aren't very bright. I have noticed it many times in my work. They can't help it... and when they're drunk, well... That's how the world is.

Wearing my Exp II today.

For Sub... go for bklm1234. WM9 is simply the best... no other versions can be compared. Happy hunting!

Thanks Gentlemen. I'm very happy with these watches and currently I don't even have any new purchases in mind. Well, besides a 42mm Planet Ocean. But let's see how the new one turns out first.

Better dial? How could it be "better" when the v1 dial is one of the best rep dials ever made? I believe it when I see it.

Beauty. I have actually considered the gen too... blue version, that is...

Nice Omegas! I join in with the Aquaracer.

Oh yeah that's definitely fake. Absolutely no doubt about it. Rep dial No rehaut thickness Noob YM is actually better than this one... not to mention WM9 which would actually be pretty difficult to spot from the pictures. This one in the auction isn't a bad rep though... I believe it's a TW model.

@Dave123: You're busted!

@Gunnar: I think the most important mods would be the bezel insert and 2 x AR. The bracelet on my 4th gen (traded it years ago) was really poor quality too.

Loved my v1. Best SELs ever. But make no mistake, as a rep v2 is superior. The lume is 99% gen-like.

Stunning!

Wow... what a great thread this turned out to be. I'm not wondering that Skyland is so popular. It's an amazing rep and watch. Definitely my #2 favorite Breitling after the Fish. @Delta: Please post more shots of the blue version. I really like it.

Great watches and photos man... thanks for sharing, I love this kind of posts... I wish members posted more of these.

This classic today.
