Hi, I'm noob

Recommended Posts

Outkasted

What's up everyone just thought I would introduce myself, as I just pulled the trigger on my first rep and have a feeling many more will follow. I've been lurking around here and RG for a week or so and have picked up quite a few great tips. I recently got into watches, throwing the term vintage into eBay kicked that off lol. After falling for vintage pieces I found watchismo and the higher end and unique watches caught hold of me as well. After drooling over UBoats and B&R watches, I stumbled upon this forum one day and realized all of these watches that would put me into homelessness were actually attainable! I knew about "Rolex fakes" being popular but had no idea how many great things are repped!

 

I ordered this black and gold santos 100 from TS, I worry about the shipping, I went with ems... Hopefully that will work out alright.

 

MOVEMENT: Asian 2813 21j Autoamatic

CASE DIAMETER: 42mm

THICKNESS: 16mm

DIAL COLOR: Black Dial With Gold Roman Mark

CASE MATERIAL: Stainless Steel 316L With Black PVD Coating

BRACELET: Rubber Strap

FRONT GLASS: Mineral Crystal

OTHER: Water Resistant

BEZEL: Stainless Steel 316L With Gold Plated

 

I'm also talking to Michelle about a B&R, it's been taking a while though to get some info on it, but I might have just scared her away with my noob questions lol.

 

My current collection: Nixon bamboo rotolog, black/gold 1931 bulova, gold/Yellow age tinted 1941 bulova

 

TL/DR: noob falls for vintage watches, then gens, finds forum, will surly go broke

G'day Mate, Huan Ying, Velkommen, Welkom, Bienvenue, Willkommen, Benvenuto, Dzieñ dobry, and Welcome.

The best advice most people here will give is to buy only from the Trusted Dealers because they are trusted and they deal in watches!

This place may well cost you a lot of money but stick with the trusted dealers and you will get a lot for that money.

And read, read , read - its all in the threads

Yeah I've seen some posts about the recent ems hang ups but was under the impression it was mostly for the uk... Hopefully all goes well!
