I voted yes. I also think that this should be implemited in the States. Those doing drugs and sitting on ther boo boo's
will not take kindly to such a absured idea.

Welcome David. It's true what Toad says about expectations. I just received my first rep from Andrew. I expected a cheep looking and feeling watch. What I had seen in the past led me to this conclusion. The watch I received was of good quality and substance. I was impressed to say the least.
I showed a few friends and family members the watch and they were impressed as well. When I see a gen Roll,omega,Tag ,ect. Im not so impressed. The watch cost between 3.000$-7.000 for example.It better look good for that kind $$$$. To see a rep that cost in the neighborhood 200.00$$$ . Thats something completly different. Enjoy

Welcome Vitin. I'm also fairly new to RWG. At first it can be quite overwhelming.
The information here is like nothing I had ever seen before. There is a passion here that is so genunie. Welcome to the wonderful world of timepieces.
Mike PS Want to buy watch?

The pic is of Ubi's PVD'd Pam .. it is awesome !! the DLC is what the Breitling Black Steel is coated with.. the DLC coat is proven to strengthen the metal by 80%
there are pics on one of the sites of the actual procedures for both.. and video's of various uses.. ie. they are now using the dlc coatings in Race engines (parts)..Cars .. Jet engines .. anything that could gain an advantage by adding durability without gaining a lot of weight.
Tremendous infomation. Thanks again

I'd rather have a rep Omega, a few IWC's, maybe some Rollies and some gens as well including a Timex or 3 than no Casio.

Thanks for the poast Lanikai
very informative. I'm about to have a hand made strap done by Vintagerstraps. I was looking at the buckle selection. The choices are Polished SS, Brushed or PVD. I'm like WT@#$% is PVD. There is know explanation on the site. Thanks to you I know what that is now.
Mike. PS The pic of your watch? Absulutely beautiful.

Mike,
I guess using that analogy I'd rather have a "Casio" than no "Casio" at all....

Ben. All the information you could possably imagine is literaly at your finger tips. Like Chubb said "try the search function" I had so many ??? when I arrived here. I can honestly say that every ??? I had has been answered.(for the most part anyway) A lot of reading and research. The funny thing is know matter where you end up on this forum, you will definitly learn something. Happy hunting

Welcome Maxim. Do I smell a copy right infringment issue here.
I also have a Tag formula and a older gen Omega. The Omega was given to me by my father about thrity yrs ago. The watch still keeps very good time.
I thought members were joking when they said this hobby was addicting. Trust me, they were telling the truth. There should be a warning lable.(could be habbit forming)
Good luck
Mike

Thank you for the poast Toad. I dont realy know what the problem is with a casio. It is what is,an enexpensive watch that happens to very rugged and reliable. A great everyday knock around watch. As far as Rep watches go. To me there alot like breast implants. They may not be(100%) real, but man are they alot a fun.

Group purchase anyone.

To you sir'Tis true - Planet Oceanitis is an affliction of which I suffer. Although the correct term in polite company is Tangerine Diveratis.@Mike - sounds like we both need to be saving the pennies then. After all - there are still orange Doxa's on the shopping list as well

Welcome Freakin,like the name btw.
I am also a Omega man. I have a older gen that still keeps excellent time.
I'm very new to the rep world. I thought instead of jumping in with both feet, I would take the conservative approach. I orderd a PO chrono (quartz )from Andrew @Trusty Time. It is a very good looking watch and so far it keeps perfect time/date. I am now looking at the Pam Regatta with Power reserve and date,44mm. Although; I favor Omegas, I like some varitey in my rotation. Again welcome to RWG and good luck

Welcome to RWG. All I say is "please do the research". Members would rather not answear this question for a number of reasons. There are several dealers on RWG. The dealer thats right for you, only you can decide The main reason you wont get many replys to your "who has the best bla bla bla" is this. There are members here who have given many many hours of there time to help us new comers. The information here is stagering. All these members ask in return is to read the material that they have so unselfishly given to this community. Dont you think thats a resonable request? I have seen members bend over backwards to help another member. This is with out a doubt the most friendly community that I have ever come across.
We try to have a sence of humor two,I think
So welcome and get to the research, it realy is a lot of fun.Good luck

I have this neighbor whose a watch snob. If not swiss made it's junk. He thinks fakes and the people who by them are sad group. I think he is A hole. Just my opinion. It's refreshing to be apart of a forum that is so open minded. Just my two rubels.
