nunu78 1,741 Posted August 26, 2012 My friend Rest in peace,looking all my reps which comes from one and only the great Robert.Its true that coz of a my financial situation I'm not buying anymore but frankly speaking I can't bring myself up to buy a watch from anyone else then my friend late Robert, I know it's sound strange but I just don't feel comfortable.There was a sense of a comfort with Robert, no QC pics no bull shit but he delivered every time. I hope nobody mind this post or think its a waste of time or anything else , it's just I miss a great guy, an awesome dealer n above all a great friend who was here every time I need an advice not only about watches but everything else as well. (PS I miss my own emoticon which used to " where is Robert, I need another fix") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cvp3 2,103 Posted August 26, 2012 I bought 3 off his auctions. I remember he kicked my ass via email on one of the watches because I took more than 24 hours to pay. Agree with the others though, never any QC issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mazz 62 Posted August 26, 2012 I really miss Robert he was one of the reasons I fell in love with this place. You could always find him in the chat box at all hours and could discuss absolutly anything with him. Id like to hope he considered me a friend I know I considered him one ,and the day he passed away left a hole here that cannever be refilled. RIP my Friend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,777 Posted August 26, 2012 Robert sounds like my kinda guy. I signed up here and a couple days later the thread announcing his death was posted. From what I've read here, he was a son of a bitch. He was straight and to the point and didnt mess around, he didn't take any crap from anyone and was happy doing so. Good for him, and great for this forum. It seems that everywhere I turn here, I see many, many members with whom he had dealt and despite his lack of empathy with anyone, he was still loved and respected, and now missed. I wish I could have dealt with him. I never knew ya, but godspeed. RIP Robert. The fact that you are still mentioned here with such affection so long after your passing speaks volumes as to who you were in life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted August 26, 2012 I do miss his no-nonsense sytle, and the fact he used to hang out in the shoutbox, usually far later than he should have been up! Whenever I am feeling like I can't do something or haven't got the self-confidence I need (which is most of the time...) I think about Robert and how he never shied from an opportunity or a risk that may pay off. Life is too short and I believe he maximised his time, so I hope I can do the same or even get 10% of his self-confidence so I can do more stuff! His insight was always great, many times I think "I wonder what Robert would say about this?!" but I know the answer would always have been no BS Great guy, slightly scary for eternal noobs like me but all the better for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pob 73 Posted August 26, 2012 The best guy ever!!!!!!!!! I bought only one watch after Robert becauze he was my dealer and i don't feel good buying from anybody else. I'm also here on the forum less and less because the place is not the same anymore! Before we had one arrogant and straght forward guy but now we have a lot of them :( Like they waited for Robert to die to be able to take over! I ask myself every day if it would be the same if he is still alive! I don't think so because he would show them their place in his special way RIP my friend and i'll see you when i come up there one day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grb 1 Posted August 26, 2012 One thing I really do miss, is the new member 2nd post who wants the best version available of a dssd with a swiss movement, quality control pics, twin ohc, go faster stripes, great fuel economy, and the cry would go up......... 'Send him to Robert'............... hours of fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richardm1142 0 Posted August 26, 2012 Bobby Watches was a real diamond, bought some great watches from him. Terrific to deal with and so helpful especially when the PayPal question came up . Just a thought but around Christmas, when the great man passed away, howabout worldwide, GTG's to sink a pint or two in the mans memory? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted August 26, 2012 There are stories behind most of our watches. Robert made things easy and I bought 20 or so watches from him. They are worn regularly and he is thought of often. Nunu, you are gonna have to move on mate & get back on the horse! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
