Hey Everyone,

New here, also mostly new to luxury watches. Long time lurker both in this forum and in real life. Never really thought of myself as the type to own a luxury watch (or a rep) but I'm inching closer and closer to it. My primary hobby is riding / rebuidling / just generally enjoying motorcycles - typically Ducati but I don't really discriminate. My latest project was a neglected KTM RC8R. I currently own three which is down from five - sold an MV Agusta and Ducati Streetfighter 1098 fairly recently.

...So you get where this is going - most of my play money gets caught up in Italian motorcycles.

I've already been eyeing a few things in the members "for sale" listings. Probably going to reach out here in the next week or so as I see to have gotten the itch.

Anything specific I should know? I did a LOT of reading earlier today when I registered but definitely did not retain all of it. Kinda feel like I've probably already broken five rules somehow

Anyway, glad to be here. Seems like a really cool group to be a part of.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.

Don't bother about the place, it's a great victory you realized it in the first place, most members don't. And anyway, your love to Italian motorcycles is a valid excuse for everything. 46

Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:

Quick links to some of the more prevalent rules of the forum.

You are welcome

If you've just joined and are reading this, welcome to RWI. If you stop here, or read just the next few lines, that's on YOU, but don't ever say you weren't warned. If you are approached by ANYONE, absolutely ANYONE, offering you a watch, or a deal, via Private Message (PM), exercise common...

Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:

https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/the-first-constitution-of-rwi.51989/

Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain. Don't hesitate.

Don't be afraid to post noob questions in the new members area. In doubt, use the flame free zone. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the new members area, please reach out to @eBoy or me. Mutual respect is of utmost importance to us. On the other hand, we're grown-ups and are supposed to be able to deal with a bit of irony, don't take it personally, ever, a bit of irony never harmed anyone. If you laugh at jokes, you'll make friends faster.

This forum is a treasure trove of information and benefits from the engagement of all members who take their time to share their knowledge, help each other out and have some fun. We hope that you'll benefit and enjoy this platform as well as contribute positively to it.

If at any point you feel to contribute also on another level, feel free to pm the boss (trailboss99) to become a supporter and get some little perks with the status (editing rights, for example).

Enjoy the forum.
