SB56667 155 Posted July 6, 2012 Hey all, A long, long overdue hello again. I fell prey to this place about 15 months ago. I'd picked up a few reps in the Moscow subway years before, long wondered whether there might be a way to buy such things online from the U.S., VERY nearly got scammed on a fantasy Breguet from a random site, then found this place just in time. Like all addicts, I was soon draining my bank account, finding it harder and harder to relate with people outside "the community," always on the lookout for my next score... I became a VIP. I spent more time trading messages with Dingle, Greg, Luth, Balad, Del &co. than I did talking to members of my family. When I couldn't buy a new watch, a bought three new straps instead. I caught the PAM bug, then the vintage PAM bug, then the vintage PAM building bug. I started making dials. I made more than I could use. I sold the extras. I took some orders. Then I fell off a cliff. Did I mention this all this went down while I was trying to build a small business? And brutally overwhelmed with work? And then suddenly immersed in a bureaucratic nightmare that threatened to strand my wife on another continent? Funny how those sorts of things all seem to hit at the same time... My last login was early August 2011. Since then, I've been getting my house in order. And missing this place like hell. And surreptitiously ordering a few cheap vintages from Ebay. Then last week I dropped Rochest a line. Long story short, it's been too long. To the couple of you I left hanging on dial inquiries all those months ago, my deepest apologies. To the rest of you, and all my dear fellow addicts at RWG, it's good to be back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
