I can't honestly see why all, or at least 50% of noobs can't take the time to read this. Especially as there's a big arrow saying come this way (noobs).

icebergwtq Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Well, I'm a noob, so I suppose I should check in here. It's obviously going to take me a while to run down those busted links, but I'm working on it.In the meantime, while I've owned a genuing SS Datejust since 1989, and worn it just about every single day, I finally decided I'd like something to break the monotony. I settled on the "Carlos Slim" SS Daytona with the black dial, joined a couple of rep forums, and tried to figure out who might offer the best dealer experience. I settled on Joshua at Perfect Time, ordered the watch, and had an amazingly wonderful experience, something that surprised me given my preconceptions of the world of rep watches and Asian dealers.I'm not yet sure exactly where to post my review of my experience with Joshua, but I expect I'll eventually figure it out. In the meantime, happy to be here, and am already plotting for a new member of my wrist family - likely a SS Day-Date sans as much bling as possible.
