So yesterday, I headed over to my well known A.D. in Dallas to buy my Dad a birthday present...he is a Rolex man and has been since the 70's I decided on a nice SS Sub and I went to check them out and make the buy. Well before I joined this amazing site I didnt know a Hublot from a Crossbow and I had no idea that the other amazing brands existed. I have read and studied all the great tutorials and pinned how to's on here and I have amassed a nice mix of quality modded and a few crappy :)reps. So there i was conversing with the salesguy and knowing what the heck I was talking about and he was impressed that I knew what I did and how excited I was to try these gens on and see the difference between them and the reps. I picked out the Sub and they were boxing it so I went on to try on more watches. Well I was in there being selfish and trying on these amazing Concord C1's, Big Bangs,Big Pilots (the White Gold model almost left on my wrist..what a beast) and APROO's when I realized something was different in the room full of customers and reps. They were inching up close to me and whispering and pointing to my wrist and thats when it dawned on me that my dumb ass wore a rep to the AD.(completely forgot I had it on)...and not just any rep but my most fav rep my DSN 203a that is nicely modded. Well I had the oh boy moment and I felt like a goober and thought I should have worn one of my gens... So I am about to tell them what it was when the reps and the customers ask to see it and it gets passed around...minutes of oohs and ahhs and "I have never seen this one"...and this guy in the line makes me an offer for it.UNREAL Now this PAM is my daily beater, I just love the PVD and it looks older cause it is dinged up and has the tan SC strap but for the life of me I couldnt understand how the staff couldnt pick it out Wow...it took 10 mins longer to leave cause they all wanted to talkabout the watch,( they talked and I listened so as I was leaving with the Sub in the bag I told my salesguy that this is a rep and its my fav but I didnt want to make a scene in the store cause I am sure a hanging would ensue. This very proper stiff salesguy looks at me and says Holy S%$T sir you are joking. We talked about it for a few more and he was still stunned and better yet he asked if I would sell it to him I am still grinning, but I wanted to humbly say thank you to the group for the education and the insight into my new favorite hobby. This site has been a source of knowledge and fun for me and from the bottom of my heart thanks for having it here and thanks to all of you for your passion and for your knowledge. I have a new appreciation for all of you and your skills and insight. I went platinum a short while back thanks to Lani's post on stepping up and supporting and it was the best money spent. Cheers and have a great weekend, mp

She is great in bed.... I gave her the "diamond " bezel for the cost of shipping ! The pearl necklace was free

sweet lani, you make me want to buy each damn watch you put on

Romega, the official watch of Scooby Doo You are gonna love the orange 45 mm PO, It grew on me even after always wearing Panerais and that is saying something with my wrists ! Cheers man, MP

I actually saw Tyler on his newer show Tylers Ultimate wearing some type of 47 mm PAM ... but not sure which style as they didnt get close enough ,but the whole show I spent waiting for a wrist shot...I have no idea what the hell he cooked though Guy Fieri has a different watch each show , but he started with a TT Sub.

Ken how much can you get them for Cheers, Mp

I was raised without prejudice and in Texas of all places...so I leave you with the words of Nigel Powers father of Austin "There are only two things I cant stand in this world people who are intolerant of other cultures.......and the Dutch" Happy Tuesday!

I guess when tiny there wants some lovin he has to slap her thigh....and ride the wave in

So if she was a watch, would she be a Patek Jumbo or a Big Bang

Sorry bout the size, this is bigger!

So I received the latest harrington catalog tonight and I cam across this page that I scanned. Interesting watch, just a quartz though. I love my v2 Concord C1, but this orange one was growing on me...thoughts? Cheers, Mike

Amazing looking watch....where did you get it, I coudnt' find this particular one at 3 trusted sites. Kudos!

Very safe trip home man and thanks again! Tokyo has flea markets in Nakano with shops selling Gens of every kind...bought my first Panerai there...I'll stick with the reps for now !

]So my first watch off the forum I had the pleasure of dealing with Dutchy. Wonderful experience all the way around, and I hope he keeps selling great watches cause I will buy them. (Ask him about his magic wrapping paper that left the watch as protected as bubble wrapped) I look forward to learning from all of you on this great forum, and my first 3 weeks were spent reading and researching so I wouldn't ask stupid questions. Sorry if the pics are not up to the quality of the group, never took a pic of my gens before, so this is new to me. Waiting on my Pam 127 from Deltick and a few from Eurotimez so excited is an understatement. Cheers to the Forum and Cheers Dutchy! Best Regards, Mike [atta c hment=26831:DSC00244.JPG]
