mulder 0 Posted January 22, 2011 I was thinking today (yeah I do it some times) and wondered if anyone had ever thought of getting a forum watch together. Then I had a big think about it and many things came to mind. What would the watch be? Rolex, Panerai, Omega, Breitling or something else? What model to pick from the above brands What logo would you use? Where would it go? Face? Engraved on the back? Would someone want a serial number or limited numbers on it ie 11/200 made. Who would you use to get them made? Some would want Lay or Mary or Robert etc What cost? Some would want a different movement and some wouldnt want to pay extra and some would want a basic watch. Bands? Leather, Stainless Steel, Mesh. What dial size? 44mm 45mm 47mm 50mm etc etc etc etc etc etc etc Then I come to the conclusion it would never happen.

offshore 0 Posted January 22, 2011 Actually...I like the idea! Maybe we could get Greg to manage the whole thing, so it didn't go tits up! I reckon something like the Omega Railway watch, with an RWG logo would look cool. Offshore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon something like the Omega Railway watch, with an RWG logo would look cool. Offshore Hey! Great idea. We should all have a hand in it tho, every one should collaborate on it. Yeah! We can call it the RWG Collaboration One! Great thinking OS! It will need a box as well of cause and folk will have to pay up front but hell, with the forum admin in charge, what could possibly go wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brightlight 0 Posted January 22, 2011 I've been waiting for this all my life, a replica watch with 'Replica Watches Guide' plastered all over the face to go with my "I am a fake person" T Shirt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldrick 1 Posted January 22, 2011 IIRC there's a guy called Blade who has some experience of designing and supplying these 'one-off' specials Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bme 4 Posted January 22, 2011 It's a dilema alright. Where to get ripped off first? A forum watch or a vintage PAM. Decisions, decisions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 994 Posted January 22, 2011 IIRC there's a guy called Blade who has some experience of designing and supplying these 'one-off' specials Of cause, why didn't I think of that? Thanks Balders, I'll just let Blade handle it, no worries then! Anyone seen the new Accura catalogue? Do they come in purple (a very popular colour with fora admin, apparently)?
