darryl 0 Posted December 27, 2012 Hi All This is my first venture onto a forum that isn't car related Stumbled across yourselves after spending countless hours admiring watches on the internet. I had a passion for buying old vintage watches, I've always been a fan of dress watches but trawling through here for the past few hours has broadened my horizons. Still trying to decide on my first rep but it is incredibly difficult to pick one. I originally had a love for Patek Phillippe as they are very dressy, complicated and expensive, but from what i have read the rep's are somewhat bettered by other brands. So far I'm looking at (of which non are dressy!) Rolex DateJust II Brietling Navitimer - if i can find a good one - too many divided opinions from what I have read Omega Seamaster PO (orange or black bezel.... hmmmm) Rolex Ceramic Black Submariner It appears i have a decision to make - unless some other watches enter the foray! Cheers and look forward to talking to you all Darryl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electron17 0 Posted December 28, 2012 Hello and welcome to RWG, a Rolex Black Sub is a must for any watch collection. That would be my first choice. Stick to the trusted dealers and you won't get scammed, they all should be able to get you which ever watch to want. Regards, Jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darryl 0 Posted December 28, 2012 So I've just placed an order for an omega PO with a black bezel from WI. A black sub does look beautiful, but do you get a factory standard or one of BK's re-worked models. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darryl 0 Posted December 31, 2012 Is Solihull where Land Rover is? yeah not that far from where Landrover is - Solihull is quite small! I got a brilliant sub-c from WI, the 42PO factory version, made up with it! Better than the noobfactory version IMO! Daz you'll have to clarify what you mean here mate - The QC pics of my PO look great - which version are you talking about being better than another - the sub or PO?
