Watchmeister Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 The best search engine is Google with the secret google command code "site:www.rwg.cc" and then the search terms afterwards. You can even search for three letter terms! :gasp: Just don't tell the other forums. RWG is the only forum with a usable search engine.

Ronin Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 "Wrist-Check" just went invite only. Closed to the public. Interesting... Mod's / Admins - You should also get up to speed on what happened to the "Homage Forum". A "Fake" litigation letter from Richmont via a disgruntled member created an interesting situation.

cougar1 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 First I'm hearing about wrist-check, never heard anything about it before? Was that site new? My interest is piqued now....is it any good...or was it any good?, guess we'll never know now! This forum has all the old school rep people on board and an amazing amount of knowledge because of that.... they know their s**t! This is a quote from a forum member called sixbennetts, I think it summed all the fora up quite well RWGForum = Tim, "the Toolman", Taylor, but with more knowledge of how to do things right. Just as funny, though. RWI = An airport full of watch enthusiasts, many of which know what they're talking about. Some are families of tourists, others businessmen, all tolerating each other. RG = Mall of America at Christmas time, but in a group- hug, with Tons of watch knowledge. They have blocked the doors open so new shoppers are arriving by the busload hourly. RWG.net 1.1 = Howard Stern and Ricky Gervais's bastard child, who knows a lot about watches, but tends to masturbate in public MUCH too often. (After what was done for me and my family, I love and visit ALL of them as much as I can, and these are meant to be comical observations only ).

chronoluvvv Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 being that I took a break and came back on here after a while, I guess I'm more active on RG and W-C than on here Yet RWG was what got me into this hobby so I can't discount its importance either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky driver Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I was on RWI for a bit but in the sales forum everybody seemed to be from the USA and refused to post anything across the pond to Europe...at least most people here post worldwide at buyers risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interest is piqued now....is it any good...or was it any good?, guess we'll never know now! Wrist-Check was a splintering of RepGeek. Wrist-Check is to RepGeek as RWG is to RWG1.1. I like it because-- like RWG it has "low noise" level. Now that it is invite only, it is kinda "exclusive". RWG is still my home base.

vandal.tbh Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I dont have trouble finding anything I want in any of the fora.... I guess what I'm saying is I don't like the looks or the layout of the others I've been to. It's much easier to browse the threads you want here. I am not a fan of the User CP the others are using.

Dave123 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 LOL, "ive been everywhere man....." just read the member interview section. To be honest though,as poisened as Repgeek has been and is,that fact has made it the most entertaining,without question. Just beware around there and have fun. For worry free rep watch advice,RWG here is the original,it spawned RWI,which spawned RG,which spawned WC...etc.... Just have fun with it,its just a silly hobby,really.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yep, because without a 3 character search enabled here, the native forum search simply sucks... The native forum search either needs offloaded to something like "Lucene" (search feature found in WikiPedia), or at a minimum allow 3 character searches.

Plus I love the general lack of attitude and helpfulness on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Lol upland I need that last link aswell. There should also be an new alternative to pmwf.com soon, the daliacbmwf.com the 'divorced and living in a cardboard box man's watch forum'.
