Congratulations to the winners, it was well deserved in every case.

I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to all the staff without whose mighty efforts RWI could not exist. I am fortunate to have a great team of guys (and gal) behind me and they along with you, the members have made RWI what it is today, the largest and the best replica watch forum on the internet.

Far more than just watches RWI is a family, we take care of our own as shown recently once again when a low life scammer struck several of our number the RWI family came together and as a result folk are getting their watches and their money back. If you haven't seen the thread it's here: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/another-f-g-127205

We have celebrated births, mourned the passing of member's loved ones and helped folk thru hard times once again this year, when you cut one of us we all bleed and that my friends is pretty special. It is both an honor and a privilege to be at the helm of such a wonderful place as RWI.

Just recently we celebrated our 50,000th member so we are not a small community by any count, we have out little tiffs, our ups and our downs but thru it all we remain together. Brought here by our love of watches we remain because we become friends and indeed brothers, we are RWI!

Thank you one and all for another great year, it's been a hell of a ride and I'm looking forward to the next one!

Eloquent to the last letter. I could not in a thousand words sum up this place better.

Thanks for that, it made my day.

Thanks for the votes and support everyone! I'm flattered, honored and humbled for being recognized amongst such good company. Congratulations to the other makers for their well deserved votes!

I owe RWI many thanks for giving me a platform to share my craft. Because of the great people behind this forum, I am able to interact with a huge audience of members w/ discerning taste in watches & fine straps. I am forever greatful for being taken in as family both here on RWI, and our sister forum RWG.

Thank you all so much.

Regards,
Daniel Migliore
