"First wristie of 2012"

You know, it's hard to believe, but I acquired this rep, my last, almost 3 years ago exactly to the date. Coming back to the forums in what is now the sixth year I have been 'involved' (to put it generously) in this hobby and I am filled with some good memories, lots of disappointment, outdone only by occasional resentment.

It used to be fun. It used to be about the watches. It didn't take me all of five minutes before I was staring down the buttock of a half naked lady in the, of all places, for sale section of RWG. But how this website became "the league of horny gentlemen touching themselves and sometimes talking about extraordinarily expensive fake watches shoddily glued together from 99% original parts" is just icing on the cake.

I haven't bought a new rep since the one above. I have more than enough. A broken strap here, a crown falling out there, hands limp and flopping about, with others that just won't run. Fine watches indeed.

But what gets under my skin the most is the apparent cluelessness from the actual rep factories. All I see is the same boring Panerai and Hublot done over and over in the same basically identical versions except with cheaper movements and don't forget more and more expensive. And people buy it! They buy and they buy some more... derp derp derp... BEST VERSION! ULTIMATE 1:1 VERSION! LAY EGG IS TRUE! oh yes I need another Hublet! I only have 37 of them already! A special Barney Purple Dinosaur Edition? Don't mind if I do! $750? Great price! But to make a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms? Go f yourself for even thinking that corgi, you worthless sack of human garbage. Your penance is a donation to the forum post haste

Add to this the hilarious forum elitism (what is this now? forum money? hey donate to the forum you worthless ingrates - join the community - otherwise f-off, and be ignored!) and you get the recipe for an unpleasant and generally not worthwhile experience. BUT CORGI! We need money to keep the forums running. Well when you keep changing the layout and design to something more complex and flashy every time (don't forget so all inter-forum links stop working) because OH GOD YES I CAN NOW LINK IT TO MY FACE BOOK AND TWEET-OR HURRRR. But no wait it's good it's good I LOVE the new design it is SO GOOD PLEASE DON"T HURT ME right, get on your knees. Keep in mind I used to be a PAYING CONTRIBUTOR here with posts made almost daily, a part of the RWG 'economy' if you like. But I don't see the point anymore. Honest to g-d I will tell you all right now this thread, it looks exactly as it did in 2008 (minus [censored] layout) and I think some of you are still wearing the same watches actually. Guess I'm not the only one who feels that way. UH OH better not say anything don't want anybody to drop their viagra

It is amazing that so much time has passed since I "fell away" from RWG. I did make some friends on here. I am amazed - shocked - that I am still not banned yet - but at LEAST there is some value to freedom of speech. At least.

What is my point? Let's start a new years resolution, for a replica revolution. Let's make this hobby "fun" again. Let's put it on the dealer to make the watches we want to see, and have more reasonable pricing, too. Let's bring this forum back to an organized look with substance, not flash, and watches, not [censored]. As I write this I am stared down by ten ladies in the process of orgasm, What the Christ, RWG?

I do hope everyone had a happy Hanukkah and a safe New Year please enjoy the drinks responsible

Welcome back.........I think.

Were it not for the fact that all of your (somewhat understandable) complaints are nothing new to veterans of replica watches, I might be motivated to address them (in a separate thread). But, as it is, I am glad you have re-joined the wristies with a rep that still works & hope you will continue to exercise your freedom of speech (in a more appropriate thread).
