Anyone know the history behind the other new forum?

Recommended Posts

We all know why and how WC was created!

But what about Rolerai?

What is the story about the 8th or 9th rep forum?

POSC, I thought I did quite a little reading in the thread you linked to, but I read nothing about Rolerai!

That where i found out about the history of Wrist check!

 

The link: http://www.rolerai.com/index.php

Ahh of cause, this is the one that got going when the hoipoli in the Vintage section at RG got cheesed off and exited stage left to start a new forum of their own dedicated to Vintage Rollies, Just more disgruntled Geeksters trying to go it alone.

Hi my friend,

 

The reason why you are receiving this email is probably I have purchased something from you or vice versa, nonetheless I wish to inform you of a new watch enthusiast forum set up by a fellow enthusiast who is a veteran of some of the existing forums that you and i frequent.

 

 

===============

In his words:

 

Rolerai.com - Passion for Time forums as a continuation from my previous project -www.RepFanatics.com (back in 2006-2007, now defunct).

 

Website: www.Rolerai.com

 

Why Rolerai?

 

While I am attempting to stray away from the (inevitable) negative connotation that Replicas carry in our hobbies, I have noticed the presence of both Rolex and Panerai watch brands in the community, and came up with....

 

The fusion of Rolex and Panerai, ROLERAI.

 

Without a mention of the word REP in the forum or website name, I hope that this will not draw too much attention from the law.

 

Instead of REPs, I have decided to utilize the phrase "Project Watches" as a replacement.After all, genuine collectors themselves are moving into 6152 projects, where can one draw the line of replicas versus genuines? Not in the arena of Vintages or Angeluses...

 

As of now, this is a special invitation to you, hence any future postings on the Classifieds section will be offered to you for free.

 

Rolerai.com is based on the latest version of vBulletin which is a 4.0.0 version and I will be integrating more options to make the forums more user-friendly without sacrificing speed.

 

Should the forums grow bigger in membership, I will implement a VIP system in which membership will have to subscribed in order to post on the Classifieds section.

 

Please do take the time out to visit the website, and I hope this will be a new 2010 sanctuary for you to hang out, talk about watches, project watches, and buy/sell watches.

 

 

Best regards,

Al aka Pre V

 

 

====================

 

 

So look forward to your support and welcoming you onboard.

 

 

 

Cheers,

Ivan aka burnz

 

P/S: If you are dealer or an aspiring one, please email me and I will be most happy to work with the Admin Pre V to create a forum section just for you.

Rolex and Panerai huh? That's going from the sublime to the ridiculous......................

 

This is beginning to sound like Oklahoma! rolex fans and panerai fans should be friends in a brand new forum. There's a bright golden haze on the crystal.......

Vintage Rollies piqued my interest. Then they mentioned half Panerais. I can get half Panerai at RG.
