New to this forum too but agree with this post - I'm shocked by how many people fail to read stickied threads and guides despite seeing everywhere that you should go to those sources first before asking questions that have already been answered. That plus people expecting Amazon shipping times + responses for reps just seems....silly to me.

Hello and welcome to RWI!

I noticed that this is your first time posting on RWI. You are welcome to introduce yourself in the new members area in the "New members say hi" sub section.

If you haven't already, please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (in all subsections), as they contain lots of information for newcomers and, most importantly, our forum rules which you need to know, and of course ideally to follow, to get the best out of your experience on RWI!

A good starting point is this list of links to the most important RWI resources:


Also this please read this important sticky:


If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact me or @Feefo during your time as a newbie. That's what we are here for!

Hi, I'm a watch enthusiast from Ireland, I've been on this forum now for just over a month. My best advice is read more ask less.
Almost every question you can think of in the first week or two has been answered already.

The wealth of knowledge is like nothing I've experienced elsewhere. I'm reading and learning every day.

I've purchased a few reps, I just have to wait for them all to arrive, I'm very excited about getting them.

If I have one piece of advice that I can give you it's this. The Advertisements are a pain, pay the money and become a supporter, it's worth it, you will feel more part of the community, you will not regret it and most importantly you are helping keep the community going, these forums with the volume of information that has to be processed and stored are not cheap to run.

Just imagine if lack of funding took all this information away!
Thanks for posting this. Good info here

Thanks, I'm a noob myself & enjoy reading & soaking up all the voluminous knowledge on display here. I completely agree. Have not ordered anything yet, can't really make up my mind what I should get first to break the ice. So many watches, so little time. Regards to you & the community.

This is a serious question that I wanted to ask a while ago but wasn't sure if I'm the crazy one.

But I've gotten enough feedback internally now that I'm confident it's not me...

So, what the moth******ng hell is going on with the dozens of absolutely non-sensical posts lately like the one above?

Y'all trolling us in a coordinated effort? 😂
