I hate this part too... I'm waiting for something more important though - my wife is due to have our first child today!!!!

Wow! That is some cone!!!

Angel & Jay are great to deal with, but your font and colour are giving people anxiety attacks!

Wow! That must cost a lot, a lot!!!!

Likewise glad to see you - a lot, of the little I know is thanks to you The Zigmeister.

LOL!

Aw, come one, you're as keen to spill the beans as we are to gobble them up!!!

Can't wait for the pics!!!

That was quite an interesting read. I agree with some of what you say, although some of the watches I have, and can be readily purchased around here wouldn't get recognised 9 out of 10 times (or more). In that case you may strike up a conversation with some one about watches which would certainly be very different than if they were wearing a Rolex. For example last week we had a big event on at work with lots of clients coming in to visit. I have never seen so many Rolexes on display in my life - I work in Canary Wharf, London and we have some exceptionally wealthy clients. I did try and strike up some watch related conversations but the only one's who really wanted to get involved were one wearing a beautiful 1960's Omega, and anothre guy wearing a Luminor - both gens. The guys with the Rolexes were more just interested in how much theirs cost, and not really interested in the subject of horology. I was wearing my Blue Omega SMP which drew some derisory glances from the Rolex wearers!! The other Omega wearer and the PAM wearer were interested in what I was wearing, but didn't spot the fake, and didn't ask me so I wasn't compelled to tell them. If they had asked I would have told them, but hey, if you don't ask you don't get! So my point is that in terms of armour some watches (Rolexes) fall more into that category and are seen as pure status symbols whilst others (PAM's, older pieces) are a sign of some one who has looked deeper into their subject. This related more to gens than reps as we all know that the search for the best sub is not for the feint hearted!!!

Not my cup of tea either but I'd have to guess that it's pretty impressive under the covers, and very, very robust...

Links working, brain can't compute though...

Can't get the link to work...

I think we must all play our part and be vigilant. I was a member of the old RWG for a year - 11 months to be precise. I bow to a lot of the other posters seniority and greater horological knowledge and will always try and point people in the right direction. The mods are also top notch, and will no doubt be vigilant of charlatans. Actually, come to think of it one of the 1st things that I got on joining the old RWG was Klinks wonderful welcome PM. Is he still doing this? Are plans afoot to create one? Cheers

Got my confirmation from them last night - entering the painful waiting stage now.....!

Thanks Edge, may have to look into that, mighty fine pieces...

I'm just glad I got member number 69...! No, wait, don't get rid of member numbers..!!!!!

I'm sure he is! Perhaps he'll post something in the Dealer section one day. I have to say that the Dealer section is a maaaaarvelous feature of the new RWG by the way!!!

Is Luckyyy a member here - or likely to be? Or would you have to get your post count up on TRC?

That is a great write up - was unaware of the details. Thanks

Agreed. I also think that people are excited with the new RWG, and are more likely to post hello's, welcome's etc... I for one had more posts in my first hour on the new RWG than I did in my first 6 months on the old RWG.

And you should know! Seriousloy though, that thing is fugly

You 2 would clean up dude. If you're half as charming as you are good looking you will never want for women. Speaking of cruising, what time piece gets the chicks attention the most - in your broad, varied, and energetic experience?

Hey, I think we're all a little sad about what has happened. But this is an opportunity to be a part of something just as good, hopefully better. Certainly from what I've seen so far there's far more transparacy, the dealer section in particular is a great great great addition!!!! The user base and post count will increase, don't worry about that. The guys running this know what they're doing!

I think that's probably too large an assumption to make. The general feeling is that if he's sick, we all hope he makes a speedy recovery. If he's ducked out (let's be honest, it is a bit suspicious) karma will get him. Now suddenly he's a recovering alcoholic.....???

No idea - don't feel compelled to check to be honest...
