Corgi Posted July 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Pix, do not be sorry you pointed it out! That is what this forum is all about, to help each other where help is due... and I agree with you, it is a unique piece that cannot be compared to a sub or datejust... it is something that goes beyond rep value, it is something that spells elegance, class, and luxury. I am told the watch is a third-generation tourbillon, meaning that it is highly reliable. I also know that people have spent much more on much worse (Mellow Yellow big bang, anyone?) I'll think about it some more. While I do... maybe an owner of the watch can snap a few more pictures for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Cute. How did you do that? Long story... this was the RWG1 Collaboration where Blade disappeared with a lot of people's money. RWG2 was set up not long afterwards, and mermbers who didn't receive their watch were refunded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I'll give you that much. 99% of Anglophones wouldn't know. It's just your rotten luck, Corgi, that you seem to be a Francophone who moreover in Canada, have a slew of people who know that's not the right spelling for that. Ergo, they'll know immediately it's a fake. And forget it, if you move to France one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 And forget it, if you move to France one day... Ok, Corgi. You can put your proper avatar/banners back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 And what do you think about having the faulty mention erased ? Maybe these are simple stickers ..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Ok, Corgi. You can put your proper avatar/banners back now. Oh-oh. I sense newbie mistake made causing much mirth to those with inside joke knowledge. Glad to have been of service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Oh-oh. I sense newbie mistake made causing much mirth to those with inside joke knowledge. Glad to have been of service! Long story, but Admin asked n00bs to post why they deserved VIP status on the 1st birthday of RWG. Corgi said he would pimp his US-loving eagle-on-flag signature for a VIP, so I paid for his VIP and gave him that avatar and banner. He was an excellent sport, even changing his avatar text to something in line with the new avatar/banner, keeping to his side of the bargain even when Admin decided to give everyone that took part a month's free VIP, no strings attached. Your post reminded me Corgi kept up his banner way longer than can be construed as fair, so I'm letting him off the hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Victoria, if you have a look here you will see a bit more about torbilions and how and why they work, the difference between them and other bits you might find interesting about the inner workings of watches.

Corgi Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I've been meaning to change the banner but my computer recently went kaput.. so I'm running on a crappy backup and I've been swamped with work... coupled to being a lazy lazy fellow... I'll change them when I get around to it. I've actually become quite used to that hen now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 What's wrong with your banner..? I see nothing special nor offending. Keep it, looks great ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
