  2. Hilla scammer

    @hilla, also known as Magnus Sigurdsson, from Iceland is a massive fan of receiving bum sex. Well he must be because scamming is not good and leads to him getting ass f**ked when we catch up with him. 

    Obviously do not buy from or sell to him. 

    Sad to hear it and feel sorry for the members affected! I fear it may cause slowing down of the trade the coming weeks... Be safe out there guys..

  5. London attacks

    I agree of course a civilized society can not go after families and relatives of these bastards but right now when emotions are running wild it sure seem like a viable option. I really don't think there are any easy solutions to this but I think most people would agree that this can't go on. At least it surely get harder and harder for the people claiming that these are just isolated incidents with no connection to anything whatsoever....

     

    i really think a lot of this has been caused by a far reaching consensus in some European countries that they need to save all these refugees without really thinking the scenario out fully to the end. Many 'refugees' aren't real refugees but just people from failed states looking for a better future. I don't blame them - but it's a serious catastrophe for a Europe who has left their boarder wide open.

    personally I feel Merkel has a big stake in this problem but I don't know enough about German politics to really validate my statement. Perhaps some German friends can give their thoughts on that...

    i just think it's - yet another - looming disaster that has been set off with the best of intentions :( 

    Oh forgot to mention. I really doubt whether going after their families would help much anyway as these don't seem to care about them selves or their loved ones. Only their sick agenda of holy war or whatever medieval stupidity they believe in.

    Our hearts go out to the people attacked tonight in London. What a terrible thing.

     

    Be safe, people.

     

    I can't believe this is happening again, only a few days ago we had this very discussion after that tragedy at the concert in Manchester. My thoughts are with the families affected and the people of London and the U.K. who once again see the ugly face of violent extremism on their soil

     

    ....and please check in UK friends...

  9. New guy looking for replica submariner

    Ah the legendary question, who's got the best sub?

     

    if it's the 16610 you're after I'd suggest getting the TC, if subs are your thing you will end up getting that one eventually anyway. Right before you go gen that is.

     

    Welcome on board sir, you stumbled upon the beat watch forum out there!

     

    cheers, the Great Dane 

  16. Fake watches are for fake people...

    Interesting thread and many very valid points surely! :) 

    I agree with the statements about the reasons behind buying reps are the determining factors if people are 'fake' (don't like that term too much in general, what is a 'fake' person anyway'?) the posers on instagram with canal street fakes taking selfies in front of Bentleys they don't own would probably fall under that category, I don't think they love watches like we do, they're only interested in showing off and many cannot even afford I nice rep let alone a gen.

    Personally, I buy reps because I want to try many different designs and models which would be much more difficult with gens only. I love design and my watch passion is largely esthetics driven and then love for automatic movements. Also, and don't laugh now please :) my personality doesn't allow me to settle with one of anything, goes with cars, watches you name it (only exception are wives :)) I own several gens already and many highend Reps and frankens and for the value of those rep watches I could probably add a few more nice gens to my collection. To me it just wouldn't be as fun and my collection couldn't be this big.

  17. And today on pieces I regret selling..

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I like this thread, it's a fun topic that all on here can relate to I'm sure :) 

    i can honestly say that I - in some shape or form - end up regretting selling practically all watches I let go. It's one of my few hobbies that I have time for outside of work (yes I'm one of those guys that work all the time) and I absolutely love all watches, even the ones I decide to sell I love. The trip to the post office is always a bit hard for me.

    Then why do I sell them if I love them so much? Well if would I let my heart lead all my bigger decisions I would be driving a 2010 Maserati GT (out of warranty) instead of a newer Mercedes (still under warranty) and I would not be able to afford my mortgage because I would be buying watches every day. I'm sure I'm not the only one with that mindset around here :):):)

  19. New Year, New Big_Dane-Sale!

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    So...a few hours later, all watches in this watch box except for 4 pcs. are now up for sale. Take a glance at the sales forums if you have time, there are some rather rare ones among them; franken IWC 3711, franken WM9 16613, super franken mymanmatt 16014, franken Chopard Mille Miglia, franken TC 16610 LV etc. Some of these I never thought I would sell. Trouble is I simply haven't got wrists enough for so many watches so some have to :) 

    I'm currently debating whether my super franken Breitling Navitimer and my mymanmatt Daydate both in the picture above should be put up for sale as well and also have 1 or 2 other ones I'm considering putting up which is not in this picture.

    Stay tuned. Will check out for tonight,12:58am here on the east coast and tomorrow I'm back in the office.... :huh:

  20. New Year, New Big_Dane-Sale!

    Hi Everybody and happy new year!

    Hope it is OK that I do a little advertisement for my upcoming sales, but if not Mod's please let me know :) 

    This is not one of those New Year, new me kind of things :) but rather a recognition of me not being able to give enough wrist time to my 35+ watch collection. My loss is your gain and I will be listing several watches for sale on here as I'd rather some fellow RWG-members get to enjoy the watches rather than they're just sitting in one of my watch boxes. There are some quite serious pieces in between collected over the last few years so you definitely have something to look forward to. (Teaser Picture attached) B)

    Unfortunately for our friends in EU/Australia/Asia etc. it will be CONUS only and for now RWG exclusive although I'm also a long time member on RG.

    Kind regards, Big_Dane :)

    RWG provides a wealth of knowledge and advice. Beyond that it's a friendly forum where some great people hang out. For me getting to know some great people and make friends here is worth the fee alone. What's $5 a month - a cup of coffee a week - or in the U.K. about one posh cup a month! 

    Gotta say, absolutely love Costa coffee that you guys have in the U.K., beats Starbucks by miles!

    I don't spend as much time here as I have been playing with gens lately, but this forum has provided with with so much knowledge, enjoyment and friendships over the years I still contribute to it and will continue to do so.
    When I was a total noob on vintage watches this forum helped me more than any other place on the net in regards to vintage Rolex. Many, many experts here who have taken time to help me along the way.
    Always be grateful to this place and the members here.
    Anyone that spends time here regularly should contribute.

    You're are absolutely right about this! I began my watch addiction by collecting gens (Omega and Rolex) and still do but I don't even bother joining the gen forums, I know some might dispute this but the community-sense and horological knowledge on here seem so much more 'real'...

    personally I'm probably more a lurker than a contributor as such (can be seen in my post count vs join date) how ever I visit the boards pretty much everyday to look for trades or read the threads on here. Glad to support by being VIP on this great forum.
