As we have many new members on the forums now I thought it might be a good idea to touch on how these sites came to be. The first true replica watch forum was TRC (the Replica Collector) there wa

Thank you all for keeping this the best place on the net.   I am proud to have been a TRC and RWG v.1.0 veteran member.   The incredibly remarkable membership clientele, the vast array of empirical

It's always nice to re-read about the history of rep forums. I was back then present on the forum(s) but not linked to any "team"/"group". I followed everything what was actually happening. Today I fo

Well Neil didn't like our knitting circle that's for sure, but there was another side to him as there is to everyone. Towards the end I saw a little of the man behind the avatar and I have to say I think he would have been good company. You guys know this is my home, but I still contributed to a floral tribute.

I know. He would have appreciated your words, partcularly that "knitting circle" comment :bangin: and that you contributed :notworthy:  . He is part of the RWG history now and will live on in its threads  :gathering:

Sad about Neil. I came to know him via Skype. He was in Thailand at the time and we used to Skype quite regularly. Aside from the fact that his stuff was high quality and photo's were as good as it gets, he was a really interesting guy. Didn't suffer fools gladly, and went out of his way to prove that, but "in person" or one on one, he was a well educated and decent guy. I still have the reps i got from him and always wondered what happened to him. I actually missed him on the boards. Added a little spice to our lives!

Rest in Peace, Neil.

Thank you for the birthday wishes guys, BUT, sorry to disappoint you, t'aint mah burfday today, I never ever RELIGIOUSLY never ever put my information on any website, I'm not on FB / Twit or any other social networks, when it comes to filling in forms for websites, I always put in a lot of shite, which is why Greg thinks I'm 2 years old....DOB....18/1/1900....SEX:.....as often as possible,.....NAME: Hugh Jorgen,...Claude Balls...Ivor Biggun...D.Duck, whatever springs to mind, same with ID's...aliases etc etc, I never publish photos, details about family / friends or anything contentious.

That's why I laughed when a certain MEMBER said he'd tracked me across the Web and was going to publish all my info.....it wasn't MY info....but....feel free, it's ALL fictional and non-sensical..... :rofl:

THIS IS THE WEBNET...FOR FUKK'S SAKE.

But, thanks for the wishes......my next birthday is on FEB 7th on Timezone ..followed by MAR 21st on the HTC forum :thumbsup: 

PPS..HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE REAL BIRTHDAY BOYS  :D

 Yes can agree to all of that. Intelligent he was. I banned him once or twice in my days but eventually he forgave me

He could certainly craft an elegant sentence and had a knowledge that was deep and wide. He also gravitated to the more powerful end of the Mercedes range, which was something else we had in common.

 

I would say RIP, but he didn't believe and neither do I so I'll just say Cheers, it was fun.

He seemed to be a catholic at heart to me actually, but it makes sense if he didn’t believe in fairytales. Certainly it was and is fun.

So does this explain the existence of "rwg.cc" and "rwg.bz" (the latter being the "original" that was later revived?).  There's also something called "RWF" (Replica Watch Forum, www.rw-forum.com) that contains duplicates of a lot of rwg.cc's threads, but with dates and poster names all mangled.

No mention of monies sniffed and subsequently lost I note.

Still, those who edit.. control history.
