Nimbus 0 Posted November 23, 2017 Hi all. Been in and out of this forum for some months but never posted so here goes!! First of all could I say that this is a great forum and you are all so helpful I got into watches by starting off with a new Rado and over the years bought , second hand ,from known dealers a blue and gold sub, a Cartier tank , omega seamaster and Corum Admirals cup non chrono. Love the watches but gen prices getting out of reach now Put a toe in the water with reps by meeting a UK dealer on Gumtree , checked him out and viewed his stock. Clearly a sub dealer buying from TD’s. Picked up an AP 15400 white faced jumbo, myota movement, Cartier de santos, Cartier drive, and then found you! First orders through Josh Noob hulk V7 with clone Rolex movement and just received a Jules Audemars classic dress watch and a PP Calatrava 5130. Officer back Found Josh to be first class. QC pics within 48 hours and delivery only a few days after agreeing Quality as expected and rep quality so far so good With a gen sub and a rep sub side by side the rep quality to a newbie is amazing. I am careful what I choose but so far so good This is fun but a dangerous hobby. Love different watches for different occasions but I must stop researching new watches !! Difficult to stop though as so much information on your forum Joined the mad house I think!! Watch box nearly filled so may have to stop soon!, Nimbus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glaude 1,615 Posted November 23, 2017 Hi Nimbus and welcome to the madhouse ! You've done research before, you thought about what you want, how you want it and then you decided it was time to meet the crazies. You'll find out what this is about if you do a research but @McGilli, @Thommo82, @Davesjourney and all I think we have a new #1 on the T.N.S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
