ThumbModds Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I am not new to reps, just new to the site. I have been on RWI since september last year as a dealer then and now as modder, i am currently also listed as a modder on Repgeeks. I am currently doing modds on most panerai models. i have a few pics i will be pposting to show off my skills. here are a couple of my latest creation It has a completely hand polished Titanium case. Built on a soild Swiss eta 6497 Heart. Custom one off ygg dial. For the night time veiwing, Blue Noctilumina hands and dial. Enjoy the pics. Also a few pics of my pair of custom art watches. In their custom hand made mahogony and pigskin cigar box conversition. And few of my other modds. custom modd to 111h Triec superlume, Tall cannonpin, 2MM crown, crown guard refinshing custom modd to 177h Triec superlume, Tall cannonpin, 2MM crown, crown guard refinshing a nice 112h Custom fully modded 176h Here is a pair of modded 111's There was aspecial request for polished Crown guards after the fact. I hand polished each of these Crown guards. I made this Stitchless Buffalo Hide strap from a vintage belt I found in a resale shop. I decided to use a SC legend buckle to compliment the strap. since it is so thick i needed a heavy duty buckle to compliment it. It is approximately 7mm thick "really thick" and a few more pics of my 177 I made for myself. The lume pic is of a custom blend of Blue and green nocitlumina. ENJOY! I hope yopu modem isnt fried or gasping for air at this point i just thought i would introduce my self with my portfoilio. Nice to be here ThumbModds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTone Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 @TM We are always glad to have folks that can contribute to the community... I do have one question for you if I may though... Over the last few months you made the following comments about our little home here: I am glad that once and for all that door has been SLAMMED permanently shut! my daughter had to look away all the time with all the racey av's that is 1 of the reasons why i wll not go to RWG cuz the moral status quoe is very low. This quote was made long after we changed our Avatar rule here. So you must of been referencing some other aspect of our community [that most likely still exist]... Care to elaborate? you are right about rwg they are a bunch of idiot's with no respect for people or their threads Same Admin Team here as always... Are you sure that you want to promote your business on a Forum that is run by a bunch of idiots? Like I said, you're welcome here, I guess we're just a little confused... Thanks, TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, TT I had visited long ago and had not come back until now. Previously the avatars were to racy for my taste the memebrs tore me up one side and down the other for trying to trade or sell a rep rollie i had aquired from a trc member. i was not a rollie fan and just wanted to sell it but i r4ceived vulgar and less than intellgable comments on it from multiple members. But if i am just going to get slammed right off the bat by past comments then that is the exact reason i stopped coming to begin with. My past comments were based on experience not assumtions. But flav assuyred me the tone of the community had changed since then. your welcome and throwing of past comments in my faCE MAY BE PROVING OTHERWISE. I WAS HOPING TO START OFF ON A GOOD NOTE AND SAY HELLO NOT START A THREAD SLAM WAR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTone Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 No slam intended... It was a simple question... And a fair one... The comments are not that old... I'm sorry your first experience here was so poor... Hopefully this time around it's different... Like I said - you're welcome here... TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThumbModds Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Nor did you include Dates that was posted. nor do you bother to mention that many other members of rwi and other forums had commented on the racy avatar issue thread also not just myself. If i am going to be held to comments based on past experience and not on what or whom i am now. i gues i will share my experience and knowledge with memebers who care to here it. Thanks again for the warm welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThumbModds Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I also need to add that in the RWG admin teams defense at the time Kenberg did step in and ask it to stop after it had escal;ted to a rediculous level. I do not think the staff or the memebers are idiots, i was baseing the quoted comment on experience and resposes of truly rude and unessacary posts I received on my FS/FT thread i had posted. There really is no need to rehash old past things, i have since changed my outlook on forum life and the need to take it any more seriously than it is. We are here for the enjoyment of reps not to slamm one and other. I dont plan on flaming anyone or getting into disputes, i actually try to avoid controversy at all costs.

KB Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 TM you are most welcome to try your hand on this forum but you need to understand that any opinion we have of you come directly from your own words on RWI. I am sure that if you do spend time here you will form a different outlook of our board and Admin team, however I still clearly remember you telling one of our team (offshore) to F**k Off, the same offshore's job description within our team is moderators moderator, so you see to so freely insult him was to openly insult our entire team. So like I said hello and welcome to RWG but be careful never to rate your own opinion so highly again. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had hopped to come here with a new attitude a fresh outlook. unfortunately past actions always loom over our heads. Too offshore i appologize for any offense or actions i had in the past. I am here at the referal of my freind and fellow modder flavor flav who said i should come back and try again. sp please lets just move on and enjoy the forum. i do not participate in drama i have seen enough of it lately. So as i said lets get back to watches and past this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offshore Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hi TM! And a warm welcome to RWG. You will find we are a most welcoming bunch, self included. Whilst I am here, with my mod hat on, I will always try to enforce the existing rules fairly and without any preconceived bias. When I go visiting, in my shorts and thongs, I am just another forum wannabee, with a point to make. I always feel that when we visit a forum, it should be likened to being invited in to someone elses home. If one is friendly and civil, they would always earn a repeat invite. If however that person is uncouth ,abusive, or trashes the place, they probably fall off the invitation list. This post is really not aimed at you, it is more to try to explain to the members here the perceptions some of us have. Have a great stay at our little home, follow the rules, and all will be fine. We really value newcomers, especially those with genuine expertise, who are here for the good of the community. Just hope you proove to be one of them.

RWG Technical Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 My past comments were based on experience not assumtions. But flav assuyred me the tone of the community had changed since then. Why do so many new members have great experiences here, but yours was so poor. Could it be you? I read this, after I had posted my reply to the comments you made in my Cousteau post. I am not sure I would have made those comments, knowing what has gone before. I don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThumbModds Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Just to weigh in on the quotes of mine layed against me here is the thread Date 04/17/07 http://replica-watch.info/forum/viewtopic....asc&start=0 and on page 5 you will find my quote after seeing the full context of the thread. The door being permantenly slammed shut reffered to the racy avatar situation at RWI and had nothing to do with here. the rest yes i have to accept responsibillity for cross forum comments. and at the time was my experience. as far as the second commewnt levied well that comment was from 10/22/06. I was sitll fairly new to rwi and had never paid attention to who was who when i was here prior so at the time had no recollection that TwoTone was a mod. i can see how that was taken personally by you TwoTone. Again i appologize for it. If anyone who is interested this ithe whole thread and comment in context. http://replica-watch.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9905 So there is my best defense i can offer for any past actions. Myabe i am the idiot an i have no chance to move past my past actions. I am assuming we are all grown ups and can do just that though. i hope not to have to continue this any further. I came here to find new resources of knowledge and great people who have knowledge of things i may not. Also to learn from Great minds such as The Zigmeister. Afteral this is the place where all the modders hangout. To everyone else who gave me a warm welcome thank you and Hello to you also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
