My collection - six months in - Pic heavy

Recommended Posts

Mr Happy

Well here I am six months in with an over flowing watch box and more en-route.

 

I thought I'd share a quick pic of my collection as it sits.

What I've learned so far

 

1. RWG is full of great information and the search bar more often than not answers my queries.

 

2. Don't expect perfection from a rep, however TC's V6 sub is freakin' close!

 

3. Rep straps are shite, go custom if you can - it's been worth the wait and money and really sets the piece off.

 

4. Not all TD's are created equal. (no further comment)

 

5. JohnG is a gentleman and makes a killer strap - just don't click any links he posts in section 8!

 

6. Don't buy a PAM before reading ALE7575's guide - http://www.replica-w...5.html?t=107365 - he is a passionate guy and eager to help noobs like me

 

7. Patience is the key when dealing with any TD.

 

8. I've still got a lot more to learn and no watch collection is ever complete...........

Yeah the 288 is awesome - and with the ostrich strap very comfortable - it's a classic piece.

Thanks Micky,

 

I have to hold myself back from buying too many - I'm thinking more along the lines of a display case to replace the box so I can look at them all the time.

I have 4 of the same pieces as you and I love them all. I've amassed a great collection already but I'm not even started yet.

Well on yours pal.

A great collection, real diverse too which is something I'm always envious of, I wish my taste was less one dimensional and more varied like this!!

 

Glad to have inspired you buddy!!

This is a great collection already. Lots of quality & variety, different makes & sizes. And TC V6 sub with gen insert? You could sell that --back-- to Rolex & no one the wiser :D

I think the attraction for me to RWG is the diversity of people and tastes. I love looking at the daily variety on wrist check and getting inspired to add to my collection.

 

Glad I could inspire you with mine -
