Ok, I am a new member and really don't even know anything about forums of any kind but I want to learn how to navigate around this one. I have been into watches all my life and really have heard good things about this site. Can't wait to learn more from the experienced.

Question, I went to order a Omega from Perfect Clones. I went to the site address that was listed on here, pf-818.com and when I went to check out via PayPal it directed me to another site for check out. The correct amount due but was another site, some band company. Is this normal? I stopped my order and didn't give any info until I checked on here first. Also, what do you experienced members think of intime.co compared to pf-818.com, which is better and has better watches? Thanks, and any help will be appreciated.

Just joined as a result of problems over at RWI. Been a member there for a while. Bought my first rep on the street in NYC near Bloomingdales, in 1983. That got me started. Used to love to go to Canal Street to look, negotiate and buy. I know Canal Street gets a bad rap, but I've got some decent watches from there that I still wear 20 years later. Favorite is a Breitling Red Arrow version.

 

Worked in Asia Pacific Marketing for the company where I work, for about five years. Bought some nice watches in Beijing, after I got to go to their location with the "good stuff". Have a fully functional Rolex Daytona I bought there about 13 years ago and is my daily wearer.

 

Have some gens and reps. Gens include Rolex GMT Master II, Breitling, and, of course, Hamiltons. Actually have an old Hamilton that is the "Franklin" model.

 

After finding RWI, I've purchased from TD's. Have a Breguet Tourbillon, a Rolex Yachtmaster II, and just ordered a Tudor Black Bay Bronze.

 

Looking forward to learning more from those that are here and share their vast amount of knowledge.

Hello RWG!!! I have finally joined over here after being a member of RWI and RG for the past couple of years. I was never able to get to this site at work based on company filters, but it's working today, so here I am!!!

 

Hopefully the issues at RWI get ironed out soon!

Hi folks, i am very curious about being a member of the rwg. I am a frequent visitor of RWI and now hopefully will learn a lot here and up for a new experience. Always considered becoming a member but RWI took already hours and hours of surfing LOL. 2 forums at once should ha ruined my social live. Regards from Holland

Hi all, RWI refugee, long time lurker but looking to ramp quickly and build out my collection!

 

More familiar with Rolex's (have a few gens) but fresh to most other brands. Looking to delve a bit deeper into Panerais and maybe IWCs. Over time, looking to learn how to mod and maybe enhance the reps I get. Really into the engineering behind mods and how they're getting closer to 1:1.

Not sure if I should say Hi or curse everybody and get myself banned so I dont waste so much time and money on the tick tocks.

Does anyone know where I can order another few wrists as I dont have any space on my existing ones.

Merry Xmas

Excellent forum. Have been looking for a decent rep for years and always been too wary of most websites to pull the trigger. Some great resources here. Many thanks!
