Just saying Hi from Canada :)

Recommended Posts

Hi, I signed up  for the forum about  a year ago and finally decided that 2018 is the year that I am ready to jump back in. I had a couple of watches from Andrew (TrustyTimes) back in 2007-2008, about 10 years ago. (Did not wear much, still working today,  by the way). Since then, I have been out  of the game.

I was about to pick up a Panerai at a local AD for about $4000 US over the holidays, however I still received email updates from Andrew over the years, and the QC pictures at Andrew site looks as good as what I have seen at AD and it is 1/10 of the cost. I could buy  10 grail watches :) .

Anyways I have been out of it for so long ... A quick look here at Trusty time feedback looks decent, it is still true, isn't it? :help:   I plan to spend some time at the  review section, probably ask some questions, and will purchase a watch in the next couple days. Hopefully, it will be get shipped before Chinese new year shut down.  Thanks in advance, I am enjoying reading reviews and looking forward to post a wrist shot and a review write up with my new watch. Let me know if I am missing something, Appreciate it.:canada: 

Edit:

After spending an evening on the forum, I got a question.

  • Which watches are currently considered as "Super Rep"?  

I appreciate it if fellow RWGers can help this newbe out and point me a direction.

Hi Jason and welcome to the nuthouse!

You can try here fore starters on the Super Rep theme:

Bear in mind the date that this was started, though

Hi Jason and welcome !

Yep Andrew is still considered to be a very good dealer !

By the way, there's an unwritten rule that obliges you to post pictures of your actual rep ;) 

And if you need some shady advice on lubricant, ask Thommo82 ...

Can't be coincidence that you've had a couple of Canadian #1's in the last few weeks, now, can it?

Thommo82? Never heard of him.

Oh wait, Thommo82 - site legend, he of multiple, repeated, hilarious comment fame?

Nope, never heard of him.

 

By the way, part Mohawk - that's kinda cool!

I have some famous lineage in my family, traced back before the War of 1812.  I have family members that fought in the war.

Just had to google it - my knowledge is embarrassingly lacking. Pretty fascinating. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_1812#

Check these guys out, makes it seem more real.

Wow, that's a history! He makes me feel my life is a bit shit - what an incredible life he led. I was going to say they should make a movie about him, but they already have. 

It's a shame they rescinded that Haldimand Grant or you could be the proud owner of about 1000 Gens rather than a few reps!

The Six Nations reserve is still there. My father just got his Native status, actually. Never had any interest in it until now oddly enough. 

I'm one generation too far out to get it.
