RobbieG Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Hey Guys, Long time no see. It has been a pretty big ordeal with my health and trying to hold the machine of my companies together through it but I'm coming along and learning to cope and starting to venture out a bit so to speak. Just sitting here missing my old brothers on RWG so I thought I would say hello. How have you all been doing? I see many have been busy with new aquisitions. Me? I still have the same collection I had the last time I checked in after I had paired my collection down by a good amount. So still rotating my top five and as usual, getting the itch for some new additions. It may be time to fire up the plastic and go off in classic RobbieG fashion before too long. Nah, just kidding - but there are a few wishlist pieces I had my eye on that I never got to before I got sick so maybe I will afford myself an indulgence or two when I get around to it. Sorry to those who wrote me that I never got back to. You know how it goes. Anyway, in the spirit of the essence of RWG allow me to post a few of my favorite wristies for old times sakes...

DemonSlayer Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Welcome back Robbie, I was gone too for about 4-6 months.. but it's great to be back. I'm suprised to see you haven't made any new acquisitions, but then I do appreciate you put in a lot of thought in your collection, and that each piece has a unique quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best, B Oh yeah - hahahahaha. I'm a different guy now I swear. I mean, a different forum guy I should say. I used to just put spin on my stories to wind up the haters. I'm sure you know that but yeah, that was fun. I don't think I'm gonna do that stuff anymore. I'm getting old. Funny back story: That same cop that I have gotten so many tickets from bought a Mini and is really active in the local club. I happen to own a Mini as well and I met him socially at a rally event and he ended up apologizing for being such an ass to me. Apparently he was having personal problems and liked to take out his frustration by writing tickets. I actually let him drive the 996 he wrote the ticket on before I traded up and he loved it. Hows that for irony. Stuff like that still happens in small towns I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just haven't been up to it. There are just a couple more pieces I have wanted for some time that I will finally get. Mostly dress watches really. I have become quite a creature of habit and I'm liking smaller more elegant stuff lately. Next I'm getting my braceleted dress grail - the big dog - Platinum DD with Glacier dial. And I would like to have a DD in rose with black MOP dial as well. I also want a VC Patrimony Traditionelle in WG. I can't think of much else right now except maybe one of those Vintage Aquatimer special series watches. I always liked that and almost bought one before I got sick.
