I have my two and wear the black one a fair bit. The blue was bought to keep BNIB and is a truly lovely dial colour.

^ That's the spirit.

Mine is in the rotation and gets worn when the number comes up.

So these watches are made well and if i can find one it would be a good buy, yes? If the price was right of course.

Not sure I got the same message from this thread. I do enjoy mine though.

Bloody hell!

 

I've not been around much due to work commitments.... having lunch, I think "what is happening on RWG??"

 

And the frenzy starts with a necropost!!

I remember wanting one of these badly, until it took 3 years and the quality was pitiful.

 

You could see it turning to shit before your eyes with Luthier....

 

Would have loved to have gotten a decent one but hey...

 

Here's to no more RWG watches....

 

I love this board... I don't want it to be killed by another shitty watch idea!

 

Solk did a lovely job designing it, but forget the rest.

Words do not explain....especially not at work! :lol:

 

Col probably has the only working one out there.

So you're saying the quality on these watches was shit... well, i guess I'll pass on picking one up then.

Mine works fine but I don't wear it much. It's like a keepsake for me.

Smart move... the intention was that it would be like a super rep.... execution was not as per schedule.

It's a nice one to have in your box...

 

Just didn't plan on the pricing for what it was.

Agreed. I was lucky to get a bargain on m2m.

OK... I've been in contact with Mary. She still has MANY of the RWG watches. She asked me if I wanted BLACK or BLUE.

 

I will need to think about this after these posts...

 

Price is $275 for those interested.

The quality is not bad, imo. The only bad thing is the bracelet. Certainly, the movement can be the same quality as any other reps since they are from rep factory. The case, the crystal, hands and the dial are very nice build. If you can buy one, just throw away the bracelet and put on a decent strap. You will have a nice watch. Eventhough there were a lot of heartache when the project was going, I still love it and consider it as symbol of this great forum.

The forum has its up and down, great and worst people, but at the end, I enjoy the forum and consider it as one of the great forum and I proud to be a member of.

That would be less than the $300 the rest of us paid back when.

The movement is an automatic 7753. Sapphire crystal with AR and an exhibition back.

Mine came with a problem, chrono hand wouldn't reset but Mary fixed it right away, lickety split/no fuss/no muss. It has run fine since, but being part of a substantial rotation, it doesn't get much wrist time. My bracelet was a bitch trying to remove a couple of the poor quality screws but some penetrating oil while invoking Valhalla's help on a full moon did the trick.

I only wear this watch while mowing the lawn. Keeps me from hearing the movement.
