That gesture is unsual on the net but isn't it so that it should be usual? Who ever is the member, I send my kindest regards to him! Wonderfull! This place is trully wonderfull. Cheers Stephane

Anybody want to sell me one ? An MBW 93150 that is ...

Hmmm...I'd love to, but I want a transformer Coke+Black

Once again I'm trully sorry that happens to the OP. I can't understand why members living in the EU still order from China/Far east. Even if the dealer tells you "Yes, Registered AirMail" they do drop ship anyway and their factories use EMS/Fedex/Dhl. Not that the dealer doesn't want to help...they do, but it's out of thier own control. I got only two packs delivered with Reg Mail (from Josh). And that was a long time ago, before they said (Josh and Andrew) that they wouldn't offer this shipping method anymore. Precious Time UK, Narika, Eurotimez, TTK do deliver transiting to a EU country first. Why continue to look for complications?

@Lani: oh, that dial ? It's gone, I got it for BT Good luck Lani

@Freddy: thanks for sharing ...wow, just wow. @TMG: aaaarggghhhhh...what else @ BT: I am no GTM fanatic therefor I'll swap my Coke for a AllBlack soon

I love the rest of what you posted too but this one sentence is so true that is sounds like a summary for our hobby.

Laz, I could have quoted almost every comment but that would be a bit long, isn't it ? So, I choose BT because he (among others ) knows some more about my personal behaviour in our little world. I also agree 100% with what he says. I started with an extreme addiction, wanting all the Subs rep (16610) available, then all the Rolex, then all the watches that I "kinda liked". I discovered that most of the other brands I never wore them...thus sold them all almost. I realised that "Quality over quantity " was the way to go and started to approach the real thing as close as possible with some wonderful member's help. And, then, I bought my first gen, the 16600, my second one, 16570 and thought "Wow, that is really much better than our reps" and started to loose interest in reps while keeping a true interest in RWG... The first GTG was organized (at my place, what a stress guys, even worse than my first fuck!). I met you and some very nice fellows. A second GTG was held a month ago or so and saw you for the second time, together with the others of course and some new faces too. I can't wait for the next one and see you all again! Today two members wanted to buy Ubi's Snowflake dial and hands on my behalf, guessing I wasn't in front of my computer. And Ubi sold it to me indeed. Reading the facts here above, leads me to tell you: - I know how you feel getting a first genuine Rolex but please, chill out, step back and don't buy a second one now. You might regret it. I will try to sell my second one because my dream was to own one finaly and that a rep of the 16570 would be good enough for me. - I still remember how exited I was, how I pretended to myself "wow that 16600 is so much better than the rep" Here is how I feel after 7 months: ok, well it's a genuine but would I prefer a genuine 16600 or the 1665 Trilogy I build with my blood and MM skills

Oh, well, I woudn't take it off either Ubi. Thanks TMG, with Ubi's Snowflake and your 1655 in the wrist check today I feel like a poor kid drolling on friends toys now 168000 for today though. (By the way, there is a great one for sale here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=77512 )

Bon anniversaire Kruzer

This starts to sound very exiting now Now, if only this could happen when I am there Sorry to sound selfish but I'm from Brussels, EU and WILL fly to NYC. I need to book asap if I want to make it So, dear fellow members, I would love that you start to choose a date asap too Idealy the GTG itself should be planned between the monday and friday of those two weeks in August. Between August 18 and 22 or August 25 and 29 Otherwise, I won't have the opportunity to meet you all

Splendid Jojo

I don't give a shit about myself as I won't live more than 30 or 40 years more. But I'm feeling terribly bad for my children (and even more for their future children). Gaz is an issue but how about water? The world will have to learn new ways of living and stop burrying their head in the sand. The soonest, the better.

Thanks for the compliment TMG... I love the "hand in pocket wrist shots" like Freddy's and yours ...I wish I had an assistant to do them myself

Ongoing updates. I feel like you Freddy. It's probably one of the sexiest point in this hobby...never stop till you are satisfied. Stopping would be like the end of a love affair Explain ? That is hard to do Frank. I would simply say

Hello everybody, I wish you will have a great week As the couple is definitely back ... I'm wearing the youngest one today With some nice scratches on the genuine crystal ( ) and a perfect dial finaly, at least in my opinion Might wear the mother tomorrow All the best, Stephane

Wow, we're fortunate to get even more input on this transitionnal from such knowlegeable sources. Thanks Alligoat and Rolex001. @Chef. I wondered too @Alligoat: not that I don't trust you but are you sure the 168000 (triple 0 thus) didn't feature the 3135? The date is completely different though ...might just be the whell of course but I doub't Rolex would have a special wheel done

So correct: wait and search...I've had tons of Subs where only one would be enough: not the best but the one YOU prefer! Have a look at my present past collection in my signature...there are plenty of subs

450$ and you still need to have it modded properly... I some time wonder if drugs woudn't be a cheaper addiction

Well, within the two weeks I posted in the NYC GTG, I can be there any day... NYC GTG and Holiday Thread

Great read Taka. Thanks for taking the time. Your photos are perfect and help a lot to spot the quality of details. Me too I put it back on my "maybe list" now Cheers Stephane

Indeed, a fantastic collection, yes, indeed, great collection... There is one watch which make the entire collection look bad though. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . That 1655 shouldn't be there...it should be in mine

bump

Oh no pls, not the sunday. I have to be back in EU on sundays

Wow, that is fantastic !!! Good start isn't it ?
