Hello to Any of the Old Guys Still Around - who makes the best sub

"Who makes the best Sub," ... sorry, just couldn't help myself.

 

It's been a long time since I posted.  The divorce and having to sell off my precious MBW collection a couple of years back just put me way out of the mood I guess.

 

Anyway, just wanted to say, "Hi," to any of the old guys who may still be around.  I'm glad to see that this Forum is still alive and well.

hi ya, Bill...good to see you check in...

 

still wearing my 5513 with your MBW gilt dial...

 

hang in there...hope all is well...

 

R-

 

It hurt me to sell those, but it was a consolation that the ones I sold went to friends who valued them.  In a sense, it was a shame to have those sitting in watch boxes.

 

A Client bought me a gen Pam GMT in Beverly Hills a couple of years ago so I bought the Titanium version from Josh.  The comparison is scary - I wear the rep most of the time.

 

Has anyone come out with vintages Rollies that compare to the old MBWs?

 

Glad to see you're still around.  Did they ever put Nanuq in jail?  The things that man did to watches in the name of "aging" them should have got him 30-life!

Man oh man, look at all the Alumni this topic brought out of the woodwork!  All these gentlemen with over 8 years of time in the saddle.  My hat's off to all of you! 

 

That's sure a nice collection... there's God's Own COMEX in the bottom row, the DRSD to make a grown man cry, the MilSpec... all amazing pieces.

 

But be grateful you disappeared for awhile.  Yes the MBWs were nice... but a nefarious (nee: ungodly expensive) presence has taken over RWG, it's the siren song of the Big Crown. 

 

Many a brave soul here has fallen into the trap, and once-strong men have disappeared suddenly, only to reemerge, clawing themselves back to sanity from the yawning abyss, shredded and torn, clutching a finished Big Crown in their poxy grip.

 

It's a disease.  Or a punishment.  I don't know which.  It's nefarious.  It's ugly.  It's intoxicating, and before you know it, a $1,000 "special quality" case seems utterly reasonable.  Within 6 month's time you're $5,000 or $6,000 into your build, and hiding receipts from your dog, as he eyes each and every precious parcel that comes in the door.... gazing meaningfully at you with those accusing eyes, wondering if he's going to have kibble this night.

 

MBWs?  Very nice.... but mere gateway drugs into the dark realm of the BC Customs.

 

Be afraid.  Be verrrrrrrrry afraid.  :ph34r:

Hey Bill, welcome back. Are you still rolling the Jeep Rubicon?

Anyway, I always enjoyed your posts, hope you stay awhile.

 

MBW has faded away, to be replaced by TC Subs, the best out there right now. Look at those.

Hi Bill nice to see you back, was that the Pam 89 you bought? I have been wearing one for 10 months non stop now and it has been around the world, it's great when I have to go through the declare line at customs to get a carnet stamped wearing a rep as good as this
