  1. History Lesson: The original RWG was free as the admin had the notion that accepting donations would corrupt the perception of it being somehow "sponsored" and perceived as a scam itself. His original intent was to just put up a website that exposed scam watch websites. His big mistake was to allow a forum onto the website which was so successful it overwhelmed everything, including the server, bigger bandwidth cost more. What to do? "accept donations" allowing it to even grow bigger and the rest of the problems followed.

    I think the "manifesto" or "prime directive" of the original RWG is still carried out for "free" by the progeny forums RWG, RWG1.1, RG and RWI. Its good to know that none require a paid membership and gladly give their time and efforts to steer members away from being scammed. In a sense these forums are voluntary organizations and they work the same as your local community organizations. A few volunteers will always benefit proportionately more of the populace that don't volunteer. I agree with Doc that no one should be shamed into feeling they have to "donate", that goes against the original concept of the forums, "free information".

    Extremely, extremely well said.

  2. Thanks everyone, this certainly is worth keeping. My next step of course will be a complete service from the master.

    I need the master to service my favorite watch- my 1002! Someday I'll get through on his PM-or have one of you lads recommend me ;)

  3. I really don't think the 21k movement makes a difference in this model. The only time you would notice the movement is when the chrono is running, but given the fact that the gen chrono hand circles the dial in 30 seconds, anybody who knows about watches will notice this before the stuttering hand.

    If you are looking for a more accurate bentley, go with the 6.75 big date.

    Very true.

  4. Rolex EverRose gold is flat out impossible to fake - sorry. Even standard gold is tough but anyone who has seen Rolex ER is going to know... - I suggest Homer's Rose Gold Tourbillon if you REALLY want an awesome (gen, no less) watch with an amazing complication!

    Best of luck,

    S.
