Man I thought he was like the OG RWI watchmaker! Learning that I actually know nothing lol!
This is still the internet. Hearsay, hyperbole, loads of opinions, you have to filter the realistic ones, and if you think about it, the ratio real/bs is very tiny. Add to that the fact that newer members, in awe about the oooh's and aaaaaw's, will get the feeling of a god-like persona who can't fail. Myths are created, on very shaky grounds. And after a while it will be very difficult for unhappy customers to find the courage to raise their hands against the myth and say "hey actually what I received is crap". But in these cases, once the first hurdles are overcome, the amount of people coming out is appalling and reveal the extent of the problem.

Based on this analysis, and the high complexity of this piece in my mind makes it worth $8k I paid Oascom.
Alternatively, we are in the process of developing the same model. Since we do not use the oascom brand, but only TanGo, the price will be lower. It's only $6,000. We're starting to take pre-paid orders. The deadline for order fulfillment is two years

Ghosting included in the price?
If yes I'm all in for my next sadomasochistic experience

Are there post quotas to be met before someone's post can be considered legitimate ?

Yes. Here's the official list of quotas for a post to be considered legitimate on RWI as defined by the Holy RWI Council of Elders:

1. 10,000 or more posts = Your post might be legitimate, but let’s not get carried away—you're still under scrutiny.

2. 5,000–9,999 posts = Impressive effort, but you clearly haven’t suffered enough for your opinions to matter.

3. 1,000–4,999 posts = Nice participation trophy. Now sit down and let the grown-ups talk.

4. 500–999 posts = You're basically a nobody with delusions of relevance.

5. 100–499 posts = Cute. Did you just learn what a bezel is?

6. 50–99 posts = Your mom thinks you’re special, but we don’t.

7. 1–49 posts = Congrats on logging in. Now log out and stop embarrassing yourself.

Moral of the story: Come back with 10,000+ posts or don’t come back at all. Anything less is noise we don’t care to hear. 🤓

Let me condense the above statement into clearer and simpler, less turgid and less pompous words:

Ah, the internet: a realm where deities are conjured from the ether of whispers and credulity, their sanctity upheld by the awe of the uninitiated—until the brave few shatter the illusion, and the once-revered idols collapse into ignominy beneath the weight of their own false grandeur.

An update on the one of a kind Oascam x RWI F-91W I purchased for $8,000...

Whoever the watch gets auctioned to can now get a special one of a kind user icon too!



When moused over, the icon will reveal the text "$8,000 F-91W Owner". Here's how that icon could look on your profile, should you be the winner:



Also you obviously get this beauty as well:



Happy bidding!

My package was delivered this week, however I have been out of the country. I will return next week to confirm that all the pieces are there.
Thank you

If anyone else wants to share their experience with Oascom, feel free to do so, or keep it private with the mods if you desire!

....well he's still posting about his skeleton 4130 project as of 4 days ago on Instagram .

Seems to me he should pause that for a couple of weeks and get his workload in order....ie finish the paying customers jobs. I appreciate the craftsmanship needed to complete such a project, but gotta take care of your customers first, show you are reliable and trustworthy, otherwise there will be no trust for anyone to want to purchase such a build.

Sounds par for the course and exactly why he ended up here to begin with.
