I honestly didn't expect that of him in spite of his own poor showing with the RWG watch. I didn't take him for a thief. But I guess you could take satisfaction knowing he'll go nowhere with these watches which despite the decent specs they probably have, won't sell more than a few dozen given that he has managed to capture the very essence of the worst of the crappy Chinese mechanicals including the tacky aesthetic and the fake French name. Something that could only come from the mind of a wannabe nouveau rich Albanian ukulele importer. He should throw in a gold chain and some flip flops. Gold chain and flip flops? Add a shiny white Adidas track suit, and you've got a serious contender for the gypsy Donnie brasco lookalike award. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mystery Shopper 5,878 Posted June 4, 2019 BTW- contact with Mary at the moment is via her webpage. She has taken the phone off the hook in case Luthier is trying to ring her about distribution of these watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,699 Posted June 4, 2019 Just bad taste. Since the remaining original RWG watches were used to donate to greg_r's family through the grace and kindness of Mary. To go and use the same design and slap a new, albeit horrible name and logo, on a new set of dials. I guess I can say I'm not surprised, but to undermine the work put in by Sol on a watch that was meant for one purpose is inexcusable. Not to mention the rest of them, possibly aside from the Madfish, to be blatant homages of other watches. Renaming a Mare Nostrum to a Cosa Nostra? Really? I'm sure a few will be sold here or there, but I'm guessing the time and resources put into these watches probably won't pay off. They really aren't anything groundbreaking or new in terms of design.

black263 228 Posted June 4, 2019 I'm going to stick my head above the parapet and say that I like the design of the RWG watch. I bought the black one when they first came out and then a blue to donate to Greg's family. Both were DOA but after a movement replacement on the Black and Rolie sorting the blue, I'm very happy with them. Mind you that doesn't excuse Luthier for the shit trick he's trying to pull here.

MetalMickey 179 Posted June 4, 2019 You'd think he's at least have the fucking common decency to announce his return and maybe post a message in the greg_r thread but no, straight in with unsolicited pics and a cunty comment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the recent one was black or blue. (And my black one was number 263. Guess why I then changes my screen name) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
