Chainen 38 Posted January 26, 2023 I have only been on this board a short while but have learned a lot and felt ready to make my 1st purchase. After a bit of research I decided to go with Andrew at Trusty Time. I decided my 1st watch would be a 41 mm Sub and after some further education from. Andrew, decided on the VS 126610LN. I placed my order on 1/8/23 received QC pictures back on the 9th. Knowing that the timing was precariously close to the Chinese New Year I didn’t hold out much hope that I would see my new baby anytime soon. Andrew promised to do everything possible to get this shipped. I am happy to say that I received the watch on 1/24. I think this turn around is pretty amazing considering the timing and distance to the US. I will definitely use him for my next purchase. Here are some pics of the new baby: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chainen 38 Posted January 26, 2023 I’m leaning towards an Omega Aqua Terra, but not in stone yet. Funny how quickly this watch bug becomes an obsession 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chainen 38 Posted January 27, 2023 Thanks all, the black sub isn’t exactly original as a 1st rep. Already on the hunt for my second. After talking to a few including Tribefan, I think it will be the Ryder Cup Omega Aqua Terra. Is it too early to be thinking about my 3rd? :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't tell you how many times over the years that I found leftover plastic wrap, sauce from last night's dinner on the bracelet, or the occasional ding in the case that I didn't know was there until I took a picture for the wrist check thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
