I would like a turn here..

I specifically would like to wish a good friend of mine a Merry Christmas..

Ben a.k.a. SD4K , for his tireless efforts to improve memberships knowledge of replicas. His reviews and tests are imo the very best in all of the replica world.
He is a retired staff member here and one day when time allows,, he may come back on staff.

Look below for 1 good reason why I would really like for Santa to be good to Mr. SD4K

I want to wish everyone here a happy holiday. I would also like to send a special Seasons Greetings to the usual suspects from the Houston area. You guys have definitely made this hobby and my life more interesting in so many ways. Some are kindred spirits and some have become good friends...even the commie! :D I hope this season and the new year finds everyone well.

A special holiday greeting to a Great member and friend, Fakemaster. Fakey, thanks for all you have done for me. I have never met yo or even communicated with you away from this forum but I know you are a great person. The past few months for me have been rocky to say the least. Fakemaster always had some words that brought a smile to my face. I lost most of my watches to a, well, more than dramatic event. I never asked Fakey for anything, and even told him not too, but he saw it fit to send me, FREE, with no strings attached a YM. I wear it at least twice a week. Fakey really made me feel at home and with friends here at RWI. Thanks Fakey. I can only hope to show you my gratitude in the coming year.

Well I'm still really new to this forum so I can not say I have made any real friendships, I have however met and talked with many people who have helped me gain knowledge into our community.

I would have to give my Christmas wishes to Rocket. I recently posted about how to lume. The man did not only email me once with specific directions but multiple times. He answered everyone of my questions as well as gave his personal opinion. I have never met Rocket or had any encounter with him before I talked with him about lume, but the man offered to send me a little of his lume for me to try so that I could learn. to me this showed me what rwi was about giving and not taking. Realizing thatthis hobby (or obession :)) is to be shared with everyone and I'm proud to say that rwi feels like a home.

And to keep it short and sweet With all that said Rocket may you have a merry Christmas man. I hope 2009 brings you and your family many happy memories and prosperity.

just getting home and reading this thread. it is fantastic to see all the responses. got to say i don' t give a shyt about the watch, but love the fact that this forum is here. lots of good people enjoying a fantastic hobby and thanks to this forum for bringing them all together.

i love watches thanks to my grandfather who is long gone. he loved a watch for a watch and used it in his daily work. the miniaturization, the tiny thought and the time that went into creating it and the fact that it ticked and kept track of his daily life and schedule. and the fact that at some point his motion and hence the automatic movement of his heuer chrono i wear on special occasions would eventually stop for a period and then be worn again in another life and keep track of another schedule blah, blah, blah. it is time. it is life and it is a silly thing to be worn on a wrist and admired my its owner as it informs him of the one thing that will eventually run out. thank god for it. enjoy it and watch the hands sweep and think that we are incredible creatures to be able to make such a tiny machine that can be such a minute detail in one respect, but in another be a marker of the biggest events in our short time here, and eventually be passed on to the next generation to do the same. it is an amazing thing - time.

other than my grandpa, who i am sure would be a member if he were around, i would have to say thansk to faekey for the feedback to a guy he doesn't know. he doesn't have to say shyt to me, but when asked for his opinion, he is happy to offer it. i can't thank him enough. a very thoughtful, knowledgeable and kind person.

thanks to everyone on this forum as well. and thanks for getting me in the know. i wish everyone the best in the new year, and merry christmas! cheers!

I'd like to thank Mr. and Mrs Fakemaster for getting me into the rep thing. :D Got my first watch from him and still wear it regularly. If it wasn't for the smooth transaction and flawless watch, I probably would not have even risked my hard earned dollars buying a "rep". Since then I have aquired a few more. Thanks to all of you here for answering all my noob questions. Merry Xmas Fakemaster!!

Happy Holidays to all and have a safe and prosperous 2009*******

Best wishes to all members here, but in particular to monty77, the first member I bought a rep from privately. Nice guy who showed me his UPO as well as meeting up to pass me his Timewalker in person.

My best wishes and happy holidays goes to "Fakemaster"... Im very new to all this and came across this site by pure chance...From the very begining i was addicted to reading anything written by fakemaster....His step by step guides and his advice covered everything i ever needed to know, Im sure his advice stopped me getting ripped off or taking a bad deal. Not only are his post and guides very useful, there written in a way that even a newbie like me could understand with great use of pictures...

It was these posts from fakemaster that has kept me on this site most days and made me purchse my first replica from here..

Merry christmas and happy holidays to everyone but especially to Fakemaster.

Of course I extend my best wishes to each and every member here. If I need tot single out one member, it would be LoS. He managed tot guide the forum through some really tough times. When Greg was on his well earned sabbatical, LoS took the helm to guide us through the Cartel pricefixing storm and later the Klink typhoon. He made the (difficult and needed) decisions that were needed to keep this as the best and most pleasurable of all Rep Watch Forums.
Thanks LoS !

Well I would like to send my Merry Christmas wishes to all the guys who help keep this place up and running....everyone.

First, to the admin and mods who help run this place we call home. Without them this place wouldn't exist.

Secondly to all the members who post on a regular basis with reviews, wrist shots, rants, and everyday bs. Your posts, along with your contributions, are the true driving force behind this forum and I wanted to thank you all.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Oh where do I start, I have well wishes for everybody here - gratitude that I tried to give back as best I could with a little graphic work.

I have special thanks to WBK for helping to locate an item for me, for giving excellent customer service on all three transactions (so far, I am sure there will be more)

Thanks to D4M for using my banner up on the site, it was truly an honor and I wish I could do more to help.

To T4D for getting me my first Rep and the great conversations that followed the purchase.

To the entire staff for your compliments on my graphic, the hard work and diligence just to keep this site up and their true passion for the hobby.

And to the rest of you for the warm welcomes, for the patience and the support.

That person would be me.

Yup, after putting up with all the Swayze labeling, gay-bashing, Panerai dumping, eye-gouging chandeliering, and just all around crap that I take on a daily basis from LoS and the rest of the Mod Squad, I think that I really deserve a pat on the back and a round of thanks. And a new IWC watch.

So, in sum, I still rock the friggin' house down.
The only way you'll get a 'pat on the back' is by sitting under a cow...
Best wishes to everyone out there, Brtelec helped me with a few things when I was a noob so special wishes to you... :)
