I've been away quite a while so its good to be back. Noticed many of the same old names from before. The thing that brings me back is my RWG watch from the old forum. I received it after what seemed like forever and doubting that I would ever see it due to the circumstances at the time. However it never ran for more than a few seconds before stopping and actually moving backward a few seconds. Not wanting to pay to have it looked at I put it back in the box where it sat until I found it a couple months ago. It brought back many memories of the old board. I took it to my local watch guy who after many weeks of waiting told me that the problem was caused by three teeth being broken off on one of the gears. He was able to replace it and now for the first time she is running! I will try and get some pics up as it is a beauty. Anyway I was wondering if there are any of you guys out there who also have one and if they are still running or dead! I am trying to decide whether to wear it or look into trading it for one of the new beauties I see out there now!

I still have mine, it's still running strong and the only way anyone would get it is by prying it from my cold dead fingers.

Good to see an old face around again.

Hi Ken,
Still using the same avatar! I remember you were a big part in the design of the watch which I love! I can't believe it is actually running. Now I am trying to get the band sized properly. The screws are either stripped or jammed in and I can't get them out so I am trying to find a replacement that fits properly but with the size of the watch it is not going well.
Good to see you doing well,
G

Great to see some of the old timers back with us.
And treasure that watch, a real piece of history now.

Thats a good looking watch to be sure, a lot better looking than that ring just kidding I see hints of IWC In the watch, Is that just me or was that Intentional? Mike

[jkerouac]

I still have and wear mine on occasion. It still runs well, although it probably should be serviced to ensure a long and happy life.

Cheers to all the vets.... and newcomers.

Perhaps a hint of IWC, but I think there's a bit more Omega Railmaster influence with this one

Your right, the more I look at It the more Omega RM I see, good looking timepiece

I never jumped the RWG watch bandwagon. But now I'm sorry I didn't. It's a collector's item, and it helped Blade to get his super cool Acura.

Does anyone has one for sale... I'm willing to pay... ONE BILLION DOLLARS.

[gpuck]

I am still not able to get the screws out of the band to size it. Does anyone have any ideas on what may work or who would be the best guy to try and get a stainless replacement from? It was modeled after the Omega Railmaster but I don't know if it is the same size case and whether or not a band from another rep may fit.
Any help would be appreciated.

If I remember correctly it was basically a redialed Rail Master so you should be able to get parts for it.

[gpuck]

Thanks Ken, Do you what dealer may be able to get the stainless bands?

[gillorin]

I have mine around somewhere, but are there really screws in your bracelet? I am 99.9999% sure mine has pins.. Haven't seen it in years though, so I could be wrong!

[gpuck]

They are screws. I am able to get some out but not in any combination to make the band fit. They are really cheap screw and the heads are terrible.

I would ask Narikka first, not because the others can't get them but more because Reg will still go that extra mile for customers.

Happy to see that it (The BLADE vesrion of The Granmaster) is still around

Both of mine (Including the one of a kind KING version with the spelling mistakes)












And the one of a kind prototype and discontinued from KING (this one is smaller than the BLADE version of the Granmaster above)

[gpuck]

They are great looking watches for sure. The leather strap looks good as well. I may have to put one in so I can wear it until I am able to locate a new stainless one.
