Great thread, great read.

 

Thanks HoundDoggie. Nice to see some quality watches and some awful choices too! We have all had those watches, we're glad we sold as well as those we regret selling!

One of the first good 3717 reps. I sold it because I dropped it and it got some bruises on it. I now have another one the Vac modded. Great watch nonetheless (I'll post my current reps at the very end). Incidentally, that strap may be the one thing I regret getting rid of the most. Custom made, $40 (yes, back in the day you didn't have to sell plasma to get a new strap), and super super supple. Like big ole titties.

Lol - that comparison is just wrong on so many levels I'm close to panicking...:-)

The B&R pro dial, from Toro's xmas sale. A great deal, but of course, I am loathe to wear anything besides a Panerai, mostly. Incidently, PBR purchased this from me instead of helping his wife deliver his child.... ;)

This one is a little interesting. The latest Super Avenger

Purchased from Josh, and I discovered on QC pics his minions had photoshopped away (poorly) scratches around the pearl. I called out Josh, and he said no worries, it's fine. Well it wasn't and I sent it back. They fixed it (1 minute of refinishing, I'm sure) and sent it back here... and I sold it. It probably took longer to photoshop the QC pic then it would have taken to get rid of the scratches.

another Toro xmas special, this was one everyone scrambled to get. I really liked it, but of course, I must have really liked something else to flip it.

A couple of more Hublots. (I really thought they were nice watches, and I really tried to get over that fact they were Hublots. Maybe it's a European thing) 'merica!

I guess deep down, we all collect reps to maybe impress ourselves, our friends, or strangers a little. I think living where I live, these would be as impressive as an Invicta ( spit. curse)

The JLC NSD R2D2 C3PO. Nice watch, didn't like the bracelet, discovered that the case had a strange cut out between the lugs so other straps didn't look right. Get the fuck out of my watch box....

LMPO, I think this is the first version of this watch. What's not to like??? Apparently something because it's been sold. Maybe the dial was too shiny.

The blue anodized ceramic sub. A legend! Interesting watch, a little too left field for me though.

I am guessing there are about 10 or so other reps that I don't have pictures for anymore.
