offshore 0 Posted November 20, 2009 Phil, Dave posts infrequently at RWG. Last post was 15 October, he was in good health and caught up with all the old crew there. I remember him very well, and still chat with him. He originally joined TRC, back then, and I encouraged him to join the then new "RWG" during its formation. He was the backbone of the old place for a number of years, both with an amazing collection, and with his photographic skills, which he only learned after starting to collect watches. An amazing guy, who strove for perfection in everything he did. He went through some serious illness and surgery a couple of years back, which took the zing out of him, however seems to cope well enough with its results, as one would expect. A true gent, and all class. We need more Dave Gates' in the watch communities and in this world. Offshore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
