Four Boards ??

[Richard Tracy]

I was noticing that there are splinter groups popping up around the neighborhood.

Good or bad..? I know some bounce from board to board.. I do it from time to time

but three main is my tops for now.

I did notice a certain flavor of the latest version... birds of a feather shall I say...?

Though some surprised me... and don't ask me why.

Icebergs going their own directions never to meet again ?

[ayra1]

good.

Three is good. I mean no-one visits the Winter Wonderland these days, right?

WW = Winter Wonderland??? Closer to= Wild West

WW = Winter Wonderland???

No, the snow-themed Rep Watch Guide.

[jonthebhoy]

I don't see a problem with more boards. Eventually when the dust settles some will be a success and some will fail. It's an evolutionary thang.

JTB

[KB]

At the end of the day its up to the members how many boards there are, as only constant support from the members will keep each board going.

[Ethan]

Personally, I prefer the 'energy' that this new board has...

Although RWGI is relaxing... If you like tumbleweeds...

[rah]

Law of the wild. Only the strong will survive.

I like it here!

[TwoTone]

If you are counting the old RWG, there are 5 Boards:

RWGI

RWGII

TRC

WT

And, The Dark Side

[bricky]

Well.... my home is TRC. Then I visit WT regularly and the both RWGs.... RWI doesn't really concern me - too much is too much.

[Pugwash]

Well.... my home is TRC. Then I visit WT regularly and the both RWGs.... RWI doesn't really concern me - too much is too much.

Whereas I've settled into RWI quite well. TRC and RWI are the two places I like to relax, but I can't help but check the others daily too.

Haven't looked at RWI yet although I am a regular (ish) on all the others. What's the url for RWI? Cheers.

[Klink]

a couple of urls a couple of things.. : )

First, pick your dealer.. then pick your watch

(a true saying that is shared by all of the good forums!)

If you have found a website or dealer that is NOT listed here, the chances are that it is a scam.. the four proven good forums listed here have thousands of members who are constantly looking for good dealers.. and those dealers can be found on the sites listed below.

Hello,

and welcome to the forum!

Here is a gift for you, a copy of Klink's New Forum User’s Guide.

(How and Where to buy a Quality Replica Watch) This Guide is one Forum Members Opinion Only, it is NOT an endorsement by the Forum or by anyone but myself!!- You are strongly encouraged to browse the forum, to use the search function, and to come to your own opinions.

I hope you find this guide helpful!

This Forum (Replica Watch Guide) now has an absent owner, and no moderators! Because the owner (Blade) can not be found, and has been missing for some time, the moderators decided to start a 'Replica RWG' - this was done to save the board and members.. for without the owners passwords, the moderators would be unable to fix any problems if this board went down. You will see many of the same people and many of the same dealers on the new forum.

Below are the four trusted replica watch forums. The reliable and honest dealers are members of and sell on all of these forums. Of course, some forums do have more sellers/dealers than others.. they are all worth taking a look at. The advantage to belonging to all of these separate boards? You can find the latest treands, the newest watches and accessories, and you can become comfortable with the world of honest replica dealers quicker! Hyperlinks to these sites are below:

Known as 'The Dark Side' this is the newest forum, and already it has attracted the largest number of dealers.

The Replica Collector is the oldest of these forum, and is known for it's slow pace.

?

Watch Trader is the most 'businesslike' of the forums.

?

Replica Watch Group is (RWG2) is the 'replacement' Replica Watch Guide, with many of the same moderators.

Replica Watches Group is also discussion forum, and has reviews of watches and of the many dealers to help you in making safe decisions about our hobby.

Many people belong to all of these forums, for they all have a different 'flavor', They all have a common love for good replicas and square dealing. None of these forums sell replica watches, or any other items, but they all give you access to honest dealers.

In this guide you will find a great deal of helpful information. First of all, I want to stress to you that my opinions are just that, my opinions. I strongly encourage you to take the time to look through the different sections here. The more time you take to look around, the more informed and better decisions you will be able to make on your own. For pricing, you will need to contact the dealers directly (contact information below), as RWG does not sell watches, but only provides a place for watch hobbyists to discuss and compare their opinions. Please take your time to research before making any decisions, again, you will find that the better informed you are the happier you will be.

Klink's NEW FORUM USER’S GUIDE

The following is guide full of useful information for new forum members.

This has been developed to give a new member as many tips and shortcuts

as possible. Hopefully you might be able to use this guide to get a head start

on the world of replicas! You are encouraged to look around all the forums, to

learn how to use the search function, and to verify for yourself the opinions I have

given to you.

Dealer Albums:

My Personal Favorite Dealer

Here is an example of one of my favorite dress watches received from Joshua, a Panerai Model 147 Chronometer in Rose Gold:

Joshua is working on a website "PerfectClones" it should be ready soon - in the meantime you can visit Joshua's album to veiw all of his watches.

"Click for a review of this watch done by Highflyingclive, his review has better pictures than mine!

You will find a list of Ladies Watches available from Joshua at the end of this guide. There are 35 not counting the 40mm Panerai models.

For Tiffany Jewelry, you cannot beat Ruby for Prices and Selection! For Information on Ruby, Click Here Ruby is honest, reliable, and fast to respond. Remember, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the whole country shuts down to visit with close relatives. You can email Ruby at goldmedal88@126.com She uses Western Union, however, the prices and quality of her goods can't be beat. The sterling is real sterling, and the jewelry is as described!

Scroll down to find Experts of watch modification, repair and servicing.

Aspire (Paul): www.aspire-eshop.com No longer on my recommended list, too many unresolved complaints. However, there are still many forum members who are satisfied with Aspire.. worth a look!

THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT IN ANY ORDER OF PREFERENCE - PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH

Neil (forum name TTK) - (no password needed) Thailand/Scotland

Click for TTK Photo Album Neil has the reputation of being hard to deal with, sometimes very slow delivery, hard to get in touch with sometimes. However, he often has unique watches, and always delivers. Many swear by him. PM TTK or email: ttk.keyserszose@gmail.com

river (no password needed) Taiwan

Click for river Photo Album River has had some problems in the past, but seems to have improved. Prices are a bit on the high side.

Andrew (forum name trustywatchguy) Singapore

Click for Andrew Photo Album password: trw.

Homer: email homer@mulberryoutlet.co.uk Website: Click for Homer Album

Narikaa - U.K. based.

You can use the PM (Private Message) function to send a message to these dealers.

Another new forum for quality replicas is Replica Watch Info @ http://replica-watch.info/forum/

The Replica Watch Report All about Replica Watches, worth a look!

How to send a dealer or a member a message (PM): look at the top of the page and click on New Messages, then when the new page opens, at the upper left you will see "Compose New Message" Click on that, and a new message form will open. Type in the "member name line the dealer/member forum name, put a subject in, type your message, and hit "Send" (at the bottom) and there you are!

Getting prices: For ‘security’ reasons, the forum dealers do not list their prices in their albums. For this reason, they all will give you their prices easily, through email or PM - and they will answer any other questions that you might have as well.

For "Vintage" Rolex and Panerai Watches: Noted for being very expensive, with the reason the watches will interchange in comonents with genuine models:

MBW, availbel by PM from RWG, member name worldwatch. Sticks with Rolex.. be polite and courteous or 'get no soup' Famous 'Rockstar' dealer

WM PM from RWG member name watchmaster WM is an artist, and if you are lucky enough to snag anything at all he puts out (at a cost) you will be the envy of all the kids on the block! Works closely with redbigjoe69, one of our premier watch modifiers (specializes in 'aging' and can do old looking lume to dials among many other specialities.. both very easy to talk with. Rumor that WM is no longer in business.. if true, a shame! However, Joe has sources that are top notch, and if you are looking for the best around, he is the guy to contact.

There are also websites that are trusted and safe.

http://www.kingshowbox.com/0.htm “King” super good site - for prices, email her. Super website dealer.

http://www.silixwatch.com (Asian Automatics) Less expensive, for those on a budget, good quality movements, many times some errors in the copying.

http://www.silix-prime.com (Swiss ETA) Better quality movements.

Then, you can also go to the forum Section "Photo Gallery II" on RWG

once you have built up some posts, and you will find members as

well as dealers there..

Dealers on The Replica Collector are:

After all of this time, and in selling (and buying) many

replicas, I have found that for me, the very best dealer for a great

combination of price, variety, availability, delivery, and service

(including after care) is Jos nana - (Joshua)

Should you look through the various dealer albums, you will see that

Joshua also has a very good variety in watches - and that he takes ALL

of his own photographs.. Joshua keeps his fingers on the replica world pulse, and is a subject matter expert, who is very helpful, and does not mind questions. (He collects replicas just like we do.)

Women’s watches: while there are not a great deal of womens watches available

in the world of replicas , Joshua makes a point to stock as many as he can find.

One of my favorite watches is a Rolex British Military Submariner,

the 5517 that I got from Joshua: Rolex 5517 Submariner

Joshua is very easy to communicate with, and he does not mind questions

(unlike some others..)

There is a saying on the forum, first pick your dealer, then pick your watch..

I choose Joshua for all the reasons above. He truly makes the buying

experience a good one!

Joshua is also noted for finding watches that are very hard to get.. He has

contacts with the factories, and makes regular visits to get the latest

merchandise. Click for an example of Joshua finding a special watch requested by a customer

Forum Etiquette: The RWG forum has grouwn tremendously from

it’s beginnings. Perhaps due to that growth, there is a tradition of

not answering new members questions when they post them.. In fact,

the responses will often seem to be rude, and even at times insulting.

The reason for this is that there have been an incredible amount of

new members asking the exact same questions, time after time..

The most infamous of these is “Who has the best sub?” Another would

be “Who is the best dealer?” etc. etc. I you read a bit, and especially

if you become familiar with the search function, you will find all of

your questions answered..

I know that when I first found the forum I was overwhelmed with

all of the information, and did not know much if anything about replicas.

It took me quite a long time to even begin to figure things out.. I feel

that it would be a nice thing to do, to put together a guide like this one

for new members.

Footnote:

Jos Nana is the largest volume seller on the forum. There are many reasons for this, his large vareiety of premium quality watches, his knowldge, his easy manner, and his after care are but a few of these reasons.

Jos Nana (Joshua), as mentioned, takes all of his own photos. This is of particular interest to me simply because it means that he has examined each and every watch that he sells. There are many other dealers on the forum who use ‘stock’ photos from their suppliers.. This is easy to see over time by simply comparing photos of the same watch model from the different dealers.

In addition to taking his own photos, Joshua is by far the most knowledgeable dealer we have. His knowledge is broad, and covers every aspect of the watches, of the market, and of the supply side of the business. He knows what improvements are coming and can advise in all of these areas. What I like best about Joshua is his complete professionalism. If, by some chance, he does not have a certain model, and he knows that another dealer does, he will tell you. Note that Joshua does have the most extensive assortment of watches.. The final point is that Joshua has far and above the best service of any dealer on the board. In a very small percentage of transactions there may be a problem that arises. Joshua will take care of it, quietly, and rapidly. You can’t beat that - just as you can’t beat how he will take the time to easily and rapidly answer any and all questions you might have! These are the reason he is indeed the premier dealer on our forum.. You can see his album here: :thumbsupsmileyanim:Click for jos nana (Joshua) Photo Album:thumbsupsmileyanim: The password is joshua (Note the small “j”)

I wish you the very best in this replica world, for fun, for enjoyment,

and for killer reps!

[Richard Tracy]

Wow,.. I kind of feel like a just got out of a movie theatre where the movie was all previews !

Just kidding.... Darkside is different, though dark, hard on the eyes thus a bit depressing.

However I still am having a difficult time figuring out the need for another forum.

Ever notice that whenever a certain board is empty, you will find the missing members on the

other forum ? Hey where is everybody ? Oh there they are !

Before it used to be two,.. One was down, the other was full.

Wt came along to fill a market void, so necessary. Now Darkside ?

It seems that it's all being spread out too thin, same members, same dealers,.just more

clicking, loading and a substantial factor, of more information on TRC & RWGroup.

P.S. I wasn't counting old rwg, it has a case of the terminals, so any posts done there are

just a chalk board that will soon be wiped clean and isn't this about storing rep information ?

[Klink]

why r there cadillacs and chevys and mercedes

and vanilla chocolate and strawberry?

Got me puzzled!

As for 'Dark' - you do know that you can, on the Dark Side, go to your 'profile' at the top of the screen, and select from a large variety of skins..

: )

Old RWG is a portal (because of google ranking) to direct new members here... did you not find this place from 'old' rwg?

: )

Life is Good!

Klink

Skins, now that is interesting..

As for flavors.. maybe you have a point, however I see this.

There are a few hundred active members to go around, but four boards splits us all up,

creates a situation that make every board sparse & thus all a bit boring.

However, The important differences are in the Admin, plus a few die hards that feel a certain

loyalty to a board or two.

If I take a closer view of the admins of each board, and gage experience, past views, posts,

behaviour, and most importantly scope of managing a diverse world community, the web, and last but not least the law,..

I put my money on admin and the cream of the old RWG that has come 2gether to make this one.

Why do I view it in such terms ? Your time is your life.. many of the posts that we invested in

old rwg will be wasted, formatted away along with hundreds of thousands of man hours.

Think it can't happen again ? Experience say's otherwise, so if you view your time as an investment,

the choices are logical, or emotional,... I choose logic.

[jjajh]

Four Boards did you say?

People believe in all sorts of myths these days.

For example...did you know that some people believe that the entire universe is carried around in a sack by some old man.

If that is true that he is carrying the whole universe in a sack, then he is carrying himself and the sack in the sack because the whole universe contains everything including him and the sack of course

This calls for a round of sake

So I guess it is entirely plausible for some people to believe the myth that there are four boards since all myths are true; for a given value of "True"

I really enjoy the folks over here and am quite happy being monogomous when it comes to Boards and Broads

[TwoTone]

[JWR]

i can't understand four boards... it's the same group of people, posting similar or the same things in four different places...

[KB]

Some people like to travel to all four boards and some don't, it's like watches some collect only Rolex, some collect 2 or 3 brands and some coleect anything that takes their fancy.

Me? I find everything I want in watch forums in the 3 boards I visit so I don't bother about the 4th but I understand that is purely personal and each to his/her own.

And no I am not going to name which board I don't visit.

Ken

[TwoTone]

And no I am not going to name which board I don't visit.

TT

[ahchard]

i thought there was more than 4? i thought there was this site about modifying reps... can't remember what it was, but it was posted somewhere...

as for me... 2 is enough for me...

[DrmMaster]

to each his own...Ive tryed to keep RWI as different as i possibly could...to keep this sort of thing from happing...I dont see it being much more different than it is....maby i can add some...cutesy fartsy hearts and fuzzy puppys on the board...Im not trying to emulate any current site....Now that ive taken a moment to really look around here...I see honestly very liitle of the same things going on!....aside from the obv. watch talk.

Tim H

[bres3000]

good.

does ken know you're here?
