Are you by any chance still running Windows XP or some other outdated Operating System?  I've you are, then you are incapable of running the latest version of Chrome or Firefox and this could potentially explain the Security Certificate issue.

I'm not an admin here, but it sounds like your browser is the problem.  What browser are you running?  I'm personally not having any issues with the RWG SSL Certificate, it authenticates fine using Firefox v51. 

Probably the watch that I paid the least for in my collection, but one of my favorites.  That Mickey watch cracked me up, love it!

All is well after logging in/out 5+ times, running Firefox 51.0.1

I also feared the worst, but glad things are back up now.  

I'm feeling the Seiko vibe today with my SARB065

Not our usual fayre, but variety is always good. I like the 24 military dial and might steal the style for a project. I'm also interested in microbrands, but the River is all sold out.

I love micro-brands and the River is great, picked mine up on ebay.  The rotor on the Miyota 90S5 was rather loud when I got it, but a drop of Moebius solved it.

That's definitely one of the stranger crystals I've seen on a Seiko or any watch (frankly), thanks for sharing the photos. 

vaping equals the dollar store, lol

Yeah, I've been pleasantly surprised by a few different Micro-brand watches over the last few years. A 15mm case height looks ghastly on my 6.75" wrist, so I don't think I'll ever own a 7750 or any true automatic chronograph movement. 

I picked up a Nezumi Voiture during the pre-order and installed the included double domed mineral crystal after a few weeks with it.  Yes, it's a quartz - but it has a great look.  Mine is the first edition that states "Quarts" instead of "Quartz" on the dial.  Perhaps that will make it worth something someday?  (probably not, )

Did you ever pick one up?

Here's mine:

Thanks guys for being so welcoming and for all the helpful suggestions!  I sent @StoneP a message regarding one of his three recent DateJust's, but I must have missed it.  I'm sure they get a flood of messages.  I wouldn't take someone with 2 posts to their name seriously, so I'll probably wait a week before I reach out to MMM.  I saw a watch he did on a different forum and knowing that this is his home - is what motivated me to sign-up and get involved with RWG.

Now, I get to figure out what I want/love the most.  So many options to choose from and I'm totally willing to pay a premium for quality work! 

Just wanted to introduce myself.  I'm new to RWG, but not new to the world of automatic watches.  I've mainly focused on collecting JDM Orient Star's & Seiko's over the past 2 years.  Recently, my buddy loaned me his 16220 DateJust and I fell in-love.  Being an engineer, I always figured I would own a Spring Drive - Grand Seiko long before I ever purchased a Rolex (completely over-priced, IMHO).  After I discovered RWG and witnessed (via photos) the craftsmanship behind some of these REP's, that a select few members produce and sell - I was convinced I could have my cake and eat it too.

Now I just have to "get involved" in the forums so I can get a good enough reputation, so some of these quality builders will return my PM's. 

I love that Fifty Five Fathoms, nice job!  Lovely SKX also.  Cheers!

Orient Star - Standard Date (SDV02003W0) and I promptly removed the factory (ugly) bracelet and put it on a Jubilee.
