KarmaToBurn 1,419 Posted December 22, 2018 My father-in-law passed away after a short battle with cancer this past September. It was him in 2012 who got me started down the path of reps by requesting a sub for Christmas. After a bunch of research I wound up ordering him a Regmariner. After that I was hooked on reps myself. Over the next several years I also helped him to order a few more for his collection. While cleaning out the house the other day I was given the reps that I helped him order. My first order and his Regmariner (which eventually died but he had the movement replaced) Sinn Regulateur IWC FA Jones PAM (005?) Patek (fantasy?) hand wind chrono. He really liked this one.

TheChachi 1 Posted December 22, 2018 This is a wonderful collection to inherit. Given the circumstances, I am sure he would be proud to have his son-in-law wear those with pride. My condolences as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He also had very different taste in watches than I do but I'll be happy to keep these in my collection. I've already worn the Sub and Sinn a few times.
