joegut 0 Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) A was looking at another old forum post in which 3 brothers parnered with a Brass watch making company to launch a limited edition made it on bronze and they improved many of the watch specs. That got me thinking with all the watch savy people on the board, the watch moddlers, our trusted dealers, to be able to have by christmas a unique watch 2017 for the ones wanting to participate in this kind of community proyect. Could be an existen model with upgrades like AR coatings, water proffness, etc. Would it be enough people to lead and people to buy such a franken RWG 2017 watch?

greg_r 79 Posted June 4, 2017 It's been done. Three times. The first time led to the end of the original incarnation of this board (under different management). The second time worked well enough - but it was just ONE watch and it was won by a filthy monkey on our first birthday. So that sucked. The third led to the near-bankruptcy of a bad-tempered banjo mechanic and a vast amount of grief for all concerned - despite the fact that it wasn't even a forum-sponsored project and happened despite my considerable reservations over the whole idea. Just to be clear: THERE IS PRECISELY ZERO FUCKING CHANCE OF ME AGREEING TO LET ANYBODY PUT US THROUGH THAT SHIT AGAIN. Greg will beat you with a wet fish when he sees this /me wanders off to find a suitably large haddock... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_DC_ 218 Posted June 4, 2017 Mine says hello All that grief and this is what it ended up with, got a grilling last time I aired my opinions on it but seriously.... was it worth it?! An infinitely better idea would have been a set of RWG stamped dials for a submariner, in the same style as the Tiffany & Co dials, and it's a watch that virtually everyone would be happy to own!! But hey, no one asked me :P DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
