TheDocHolliday 2 Posted February 23, 2015 So I find it strange earlier in my life I started off with my first rep Submariner. I would assume a typical pick for many of us starting on in this grand watch world. After that it was a dual tone gold/blue submariner which I was very happy with for quite some time over 12 years ago. I recall buying them from a man that came in to our shop all the time and these were lower end models, but who cared. I know squat about the quality. My thought was a couple years junkers. I waited 12 years to buy my first gen. An Omega 45.5 Planet Ocean. It was a jewel, but my jaw still dropped at the price tag. Thought I loved it I didn't feel complete. So I sold it and moved to a gen ceramic 41 Seamaster 300. Another fantastic, gorgeous piece. Still, I felt there was more to try. After selling that piece as well(making a profit on both) I waiting a couple months and moved to the classic. A gen speedmaster which I still own at the moment. I love it. It has over 50 years history and is just a conversation piece with it comes to the classic history. However, I still crave the look of some of the super clone reps I see. Such as a 15000 gauss, or a ceramic sub thats been modded to perfection. I'm mad because I have no problem with a rep, I want one now, Damn the Chinese New Year for getting in the way of my order. I say screw it. If you like whats on your wrist. Do it. These Reps are light years what I remember back in the day(especially with the price tag) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
resistor 0 Posted February 23, 2015 Browse the member to member sales sections. I buy 90% of my watches from other members and am able to pickup watches which were already vetted and shipped from the US. I started my own watch interest about 6-7 years ago by buying and wearing affordable gens. Eventually, the cost of the pieces I was buying crept up which spurred the interest in reps. Bought mostly reps for a while then took a break from watches in general, choosing to wear the same one or two watches for months at a time. Somehow got sucked back into watches last year and quickly spent too many thousands...so here I am back in the rep world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm all about the spice of life, I hate having to sell my nice piece and move onto the next deal. My wrist gets a lot more freedom now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
