The PPs are definitely my faves that I've built... Perhaps ever. They are much, much more difficult than anything else I've put together and they make me smile everytime I look at them.

But one cannot go wrong with a nice vintage Rolex either! The Big Crown is one that feels like it is a constant work in progress and the WM9 16622 may just stay stock as a daily wearer.

Thank you gents; really appreciate the warm reception :) Indeed... Been a long time since I've stepped foot in the door and it's comforting to see a lot of the familiar, friendly faces that really makes this place so great! I also see a lot of new members participating and that is also fantastic to see! Anytime we can grow the RWG family with good people, that's a good day!

I will try to be a little more frequent, but sadly, I am afraid I don't have much to offer these days in terms of builds. The Pateks were the last major projects I had going on; anything moving forward will really only involve small updates and revisions here and there where possible.

Maybe I need to start on a new adventure?

Great to see more of your work R. Also fantastic to see you chime in again. Please don't be a stranger, your input, guidance and works are an inspiration and you may not realise the influence you have is far greater than can easily be expressed. All power to you, from a long standing member to whom you showed great generosity when I was a raw, green, newbie many years ago  :)

Thanks MB- Really kind of you to say!

Heh... You wouldn't believe how much about watches I've forgotten! :) Maybe even more than I ever knew to begin with :lol:

Gorgeous stuff, old friend. Bank vault? You don't need no stinking bank vault. Send 'em here, there's no place safer.

Nice to see you back, I was picturing you tucked away somewhere hard at work on some fantastic old watch project! The ones you have are phenomenal, I missed looking at them a lot. Your work on Patek's always inspired me to go that extra mile, I'm not even close to being at that level yet but im working on it :)
