New in my collection. My first wrist shot - And finally vintage. Thanks for all the people who helped and supported me. You know who you are.

Hi guys, After almost 1,5 year here on RWG I think this hobby is getting out of hand, here are a few pictures of my current collection From left to right, starting in the winding spots: - Hublot Big Bang Stainless Steel Evo V6 - Hublot Big Bang Rose Gold Evo V6 on a Donerix Strap - Panerai Luminor Marina 104 - Panerai Luminor Marina 111 on TWB leather strap - Tudor Submariner - Rolex TC Submariner with genuine pearl (this one is new, will take some pictures later) - IWC Top Gun (this one is new, will take some pictures later) - IWC Laureus Ingenieur on a genuine IWC strap (this one is new, will take some pictures later) The slots from left to right: - Breitling Transocean - IWC Portuguese - Tag Heur Grand Carrera Calibre 36 - Tag Heuer Mikrometer - Panerai Daylight 251 (this one is new, will take some pictures later) - Breitling Navitimer - Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Dual Time (this one is new, will take some pictures later) - Jorg Gray 9100-21 - Swiss Legend Challenger In front of the watch winder: - Ice Watch (the only watch I had left after the burglary...) - Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph Rose Gold, also know as my "beer-watch" - Omega SMP 007 - Vintage Seiko 5 - Christopher Ward Malvern Automatic MKII

As many of you may recall, the last year was not a good one for me, infact, it was pretty bad, and brought me as close to utter ruin and despair as I have ever been in my life, and I can only thank my brothers here for helping me through that. So what's changed in my life? Well, I'm now the proud owner of a licensed tattoo studio... It's only small, only in a rented room above a hair salon, I have to make an hour's bus ride just to get there, and I'm still in the process of building a client base. But. I'm no longer terrified I'm going to wind up on the streets or wondering where my next meal will come from, and I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for all your help and patience

I had no idea you were on the rocks, TeeJay ~ I'm sorry to hear it, and I'm glad you are putting the pieces together again.

1665 for Easter Sunday

Good to hear that you've come out through the other side. I can sympathize mate, going through a very rough patch of my life at the moment and the forum helps me get through the day sometimes. I guess what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

TeeJay ,great to hear my friend. Good luck in your new venture and Happy Easter.

Brother, this place is about far more than watches. It's great to hear things are getting better. What does TwoTone always say? "Where people gather, life happens". Hang in there and happy Easter.

Pams are stupidly comfy to wear, the 24mm strap guarantees that, just do it!

I'm 35 years old and wearing a 1665... Anyone seeing it who know what it is, will immediately know it's a rep... But I'm not going to let a minor detail like that make me take off a watch I love... I've read on here before, that you have to wear the watch, you can't let it wear you -- that's what gets it called out as a fake... The red-hand looks sharp, if you like it, go for it and enjoy wearing it, that's what this hobby is all about

Well I just got 2 coming from him, where are you based and I can possibly send you one. Regards AJ

It's my understanding that the noob v3 is out of stock from most TD's at this time. Is that correct?

Probably so!

photo uploading

WOW, that's the best ever!! This is as close to gen as you could ever get without wearing a gen out of an AP boutique. I have one question, how does the watchmaker close up the crown opening prior to redriling in the correct new position. Is this laser welded ? from the photo it looks like it was plugged. I have always wondered how the crown position was changed.

OMG... NO DUDE... you got this wrong, while we may sit here and nit pick at this or that, this is still a fantastic watch, and a joy to own. I have the new SMP, the one with the wrong font, yet I'm still happy with it. 99.5% of the population will never know this is a rep, they're just not as informed as the people here. While no rep is ever "perfect", these are great watches. We're only pointing out these flaws so that we can give you an informed starting point as to which one you might want to buy, not to scare you away from buying it. While we may be talking about this and that being a glaring flaw, they're so small, they're microscopic. Without the real thing to compare it to, and without a magnifier, and without prior knowledge of where to look, you wouldn't see or know the difference. Let's face it, most of us here are just "anal" about our hobby. Edit: Regarding the HE valve, it's exactly at 10 o'clcok on the new SMP. The only thing I'm curious about (and someone who know for sure please chime in), is the valve stem supposed to be embossed with "He" or the Omega logo?
