It has sure been a long time ... I used to hang out here all the time. I bought more than 100 watches, mostly from Joshua and Andrew ... I had the best collection of MBWs anywhere.

Glad you’re back. Seems you still have a nice collection.

I used to have many more than that ... I attach some old pics of my TWs and Vintages.  I wish I still had those.    These days, I only have a few left. 

Does RWG still have a Trusted Dealer list ... I guess old age has overtaken my brain, but I cannot seem to find it.

 

I'm glad to see RWG is still up and running but it hurt my heart to see that Bob (Nanuq) is gone.

Good to see you posting.

 

You had a post (I think) that always stuck with me, along the lines of life without kids was a boring pain in the ass.

 

Many of those franken reps (or their parts) ended up being quite valuable accidentally.

Yes, I had custody of a house full, 4 children 12, 6, 5 & 2.  I spent a lot of time writing about it on my single parents web site ... MrMoms.org ... nothing commercial about that site, just accounts of fun events, a lot of pics and stuff.  I always believed I had a lot better time as a single parent than I was supposed to.

 

I have no idea who does work on watches here these days but I have a bunch of stuff here ... like a bag of Rolex crowns, as well as another of tubes, various dials, vintage crystals etc. that I'll never use.  Do we have a person that replaced The Zigmeister?  

 

Thanks

You need to wear four Rolexes a day to keep them from rusting, lol. Just kidding, Doctor of Rolex Collection. Also, whose watch box is yours from? It's so pretty!

I believe TJ is using Acetimer watch winder cases. They made a few different models in various sizes, number of winder pairs & wood finishes. I have a few of them myself, but unfortunately Acetimer's website went AWOL several years ago & I have not seen any for sale since then.

 

They really are beautiful cases & the winders are quiet & work well, but their motors tend to fail after 10 or 12 years. In fact, I have been looking for replacement motors for 1 of my cases, but none of the motors I have received have been the correct type. To date, I have not found anything similar to the Acetimer, especially for the prices they originally sold for.
