seclark007 11 Posted October 19, 2010 OK, so my $200.00 post was a bust...I didn't communicate my intent properly, so here's my second attempt to try to break the ice as it were... What was the first thing that you bought after becoming a member of RWG? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burtonboy 0 Posted October 19, 2010 First purchase was a Rolex Submariner 2000 from Narikaa along with a Jorg Hysek Abyss Explorer! Top dealer, who replies quickly and does what he promises - a dream if your in the UK also! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingle 57 Posted October 19, 2010 OK, so my $200.00 post was a bust...I didn't communicate my intent properly, so here's my second attempt to try to break the ice as it were... What was the first thing that you bought after becoming a member of RWG? I bought a pam 243 from Robert, followed shortly by a pam 111 from Greg_r Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 82 Posted October 19, 2010 aspirin Okay, okay - I bought a Vacheron Constantin Malte Perpetual Retrograde Calendar (this was on the old board before we rebooted it and built this place). Wasn't my first rep by quite a long way, though - just my return to repdom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted October 19, 2010 Hhmmm... Before I joined RWG, I knew Mary already, bought about 5-6 Rolleys from her, then I found this forum, and the first buy was grey dial RG Chopard Mille Miglia, A7750, chrono. Til today it's one of my top 5 watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted October 19, 2010 D'ya know what? I actually can't remember... lol I know the first rep I bought was an IWC Portuguese 1939 from UselessTimez, and I think I put down a deposit on the BK/WM9 SD soon after, but after that it's all a bit of a blur...

mondeov6 0 Posted October 19, 2010 If I remeber correctly my first watches after I joined RWG was a couple of Rollie Subs and a PAM 090 from Timeshops. After that the watch addiction kind of "snowballed"..... .... and I can't see it ending anytime soon!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Demsey 9 Posted October 19, 2010 Submariner LV I think you and I shopped the same dealer in '04 Froggy That was actually my second RWG hook up. This 1680 was my first, also from Eddie Lee; You could pick that watch apart with a butter knife for it's flaws to genuine today, but back then it was a coveted buy from very few vintage Rolex reps around. Believe it or not you had to first 'hunt' for a dealer to source, and he would in turn 'hunt' for the watch from the street in Asia. All by PM. Funeh. While waiting for it to arrive I did the usual Noob 'research' well afer the fact and a long lost member 'cockyblaster' forwarded the following link: Redwatches.com By the time the watch had arrived I knew it would be foolish to prance around town with a pristine 1680 Red Sub on the wrist. Too rare. Too obvious. Like the sound of a VW flat four eminating out from under your NSX. But, meh, we all remember our first.................. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aren 27 Posted October 19, 2010 My first and thus far only purchase was a Rep Rolex Milgauss (green crystal) from ReplicaMake. BTW...Easy transaction, great product, excellent communications and fast shipping from ReplicaMake. I can't do the "Ska"-esk caliber of review and pictures, but it is a lovely watch, nonetheless. I want my son to take a wrist photo of it and email it to me for the wristie post, but he hasn't yet. When I pay off some huge expenses...I have a wish list. So far my wish list has six watches on it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
