Stemin 0 Posted October 31, 2012 Hi Everyone, I just wanted to say hello to all at RWG. I have been a member for about 2 months and this is my first 'proper' post. During this time I been reading, reading, reading trying to get to know more about how all this works (before asking any stupid questions!!!) I have now purchased 2 reps, one from Mary at Watches International - Hublot Big Bang, and I have just received my second rep today from Toro Bravo - Pam 111n V3. Really delighted with both. Both stunning watches and great service from both TD's. I was a bit concerned with the first watch from Mary as I paid for it the day everyone on here started talking about the Customs issues on items coming into the UK, but it arrived safely. Toro's Pam 111 was paid for on Friday last and arrived here at lunchtime today - fantastic service!!! Thanks to everyone for all the advice and help that has been posted here - to think I nearly bought 2 items from iparadiso before I saw the light!!!! And now for some photos - by the way, photography is not my strong point, so apologies..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luthier 1 Posted October 31, 2012 That's the kind of noobs I like!!! A guy did good reading, chose best dealers, and bought 2 best watches without asking "Who has best Hub???" Bravo, Stem!!! (Nice nick, BTW... ) Seems you also have good taste - most hate Hublots, forgive them, they just have no idea. Your BB is the best of all Hublots ever. Congrats!!! And great PAM too.

Stemin 0 Posted October 31, 2012 Thanks for the welcome. Luthier - From reading I know Hublots are not everyone's cup of tea on this forum, but I agree it does look great. Just love the elegance and simplicity of the Pam as a complete opposite of the Hublot! Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electron17 0 Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Sorry stupid question, of course all the Hublot chronos use the A7750 movement. Recently got a Hublot non chrono, also rose gold, from Silix and am waiting for my Ice Bang from Toro. great looking watches, love mine already and only had it 2 days. How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking? Seen Toro has a nice one for $358. Where about in the UK are you? I am in South Africa, wonderful to be able to talk to people around the world almost instantly. Regards, Jan Edited October 31, 2012 by Electron17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm from Belfast, Northern Ireland. I guess it's a bit colder than where you are!! Glad you like your Hublot too. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
