Watch size ..... not that I have a problem with Huge watches or RW at all.

I know nothing about watches and thatā€™s not by accident.

I can find better things to blow the little bit of money I have on. šŸ™‚

Some guys over there machine custom watches. They are flipping HUGE and I think they are pretty cool.

they are the most awful looking things ever...and i heard they charge big dollars for them lol

Would there be any interest in a watch that matches your boat that is not oversized? Or does that takeaway from the custom look of it?

Last summer someone with a River Whips sticker on their truck honked and flipped me off... I would assume it was because they saw my RDP sticker on my rear window. I did not notice any large watch on their wrist :rolleyes:

I don't know why everyone is banging on Gene's watches (pound foolish).. They aren't my thing, but a lot of people like them and Gene is a hell of a nice guy.

They do make a smaller watch that isn't coaster sized if ya want one.

You know that has never happened to me.. LOL

Although I will say when the cops on here were telling me that they have rdp stickers on the back of their ticket books. I thought that was kinda funny.

Fixed it. Not trying to bang on anyone's deal. Was more asking as most contemporary watches are in the 37-44mm range these days, maybe an underserved market segment?

Ive never been on river whips. I dont do Facebook. How does RW make money? Is it a business?
Last year at desert storm i saw them at a bar/club throwing money around. It was pretty ridiculous. That was all i needed to see.

I always wondered the same as the guy above?
At least with rdp we have a forum.
How did river Dave come up with a forum too?
Is this a cult? Haha
I found this site trying to find info on my Carrera. Then I saw the boat was like yes this is me!

Ditto. Found this site looking for info on my Ultra, then posted the rebuild here as well. Eventually there will be a '64 Howard rebuild posted too. Just haven't gotten to that project yet

Not sure why they need to make $$$ to have a boating group on Facebook. Iā€™m on many group pages on FB. Sports groups, Trade related groups, Corvette groups, RDP group....

River whips is doing something. Only reason I saw it was the guy I bought my old Carrera from had a sticker on his truck. I donā€™t ever wear name brands. Donā€™t advertise for anyone for free or pay for the item then advertise for them.

I have a truck thatā€™s built. Someone asks me about it I tell them you go look and find out what it has. Boat they ask ask me the brand I tell them go look and find out.

I do and follow a lot of companyā€™s but they wonā€™t gain anythin from me besides my business.

Iā€™m on River Whips and have never been asked to buy anything or read anything that involves making $$$. Other them selling stickers and hats. Seems like a bunch of people that like boats. Same as the Eliminator groups that I belong to.

I don't do the facial book but I could go for some more t&a around here. I understand we all get older but sometimes I feel like I went from 22 to 72 based on the threads I read on here. Buncha old ninnies arguing about nothing at times, then you have the resident wannabe mod gayin up the joint...just sayin

Is it a coincidence that this particular thread involves wrapping one's gay watch around one's penis? I guess that pretty much sums it up. šŸ¤£

Itā€™s the same thing, but there are very few avenues to monitize a Facebook group and make money. Facebook makes the vast majority of the money. That is not the case on a forum.

And if you watch the posts, people pay out for these stickers then have to ask a month or two later ā€œhey whereā€™s my stickerā€ they sell 1000 then go get them made.

I do have one River Wipes shirt but i got it from Positive Trim as he did a colab with them for the familyā€™s of Lickity Split.
