Welcome I have been here only 14 days, and I have blown 1500$ on watches already. Get prepared! You are about to get stuck in!
-
The trigger is now pulled!! Ultimate fiddy with superlume and swiss unitas 6497 swan neck. AND a Gunny 74 series strap to go hand in hand with it!!
Cost all in all 470$ with shipping. This watch will be my daily beater, and now I will put the lid on my crazy buying spree at the moment....
Bought the last 14 days
Omega Seamaster Pro 300m Chrono Updated 7750 (keeper) 303$
Omega Seamaster Pro 300m Chrono Asian automatic (Bought & Sold) 170$
Omega Planet Ocean Ultimate with extra yellow leather strap and pressure testing 7Atm (keeper) 350 $
Tag Heuer Carrera 16 quartz (Bought & Sold) 128$
Ultimate fiddy & Gunny strap (keeper) 470$
All in all 1421$ subtract 350$ sold watches = 1071$
This has been a very expensive adventure so far

I think the 111H Modded with Gunny will be the one!! I know I say only one. But I have my doubts
Im getting into serious credit card reds!!!
Edit: This is hard...... Fcuk!!

I am now on the lookout for a Panerai (damn you guys, I did not even like Panerai before I joined here)
I am torn between the fiddy "ultimate" and the 111H "ultimate" . I have heard about fiddys exploding and stuff, so I am a bit on the fence.
I was wondering if I should buy a fiddy with normal strap (from the seller) Or if I should go the whole nine yards and just buy the head & pins of the 111H with pinion fix and superlume and add a Gunny 74 series strap..
I am looking for a SINGLE pam for my collection!
-
Well. Since it is only walk ins at this place I cannot use it. I live outside of Stavanger, so if anyone knows about someone in the vicinity that would be "flott"
-
HA!!!!! Amatory sent me the wrong watch..... They should have sent the quartz version of the SMP Crono. But they sent me the 7750 valjoux one 238$ (wrong bracelet though. PO one. but hey... I only paid 129$ for it!)
Selling it to a buddy of mine now for 190$. Easy money!! Guess the scam was one them this time
-
Some kind of ultimate 0 gravity movement looks like First we have to get the antigrav to work before they can make watches with it hehe
-
I am waiting for my SMP 300M Red Dial. And I am wondering if there is any rep friendly smiths in Norway?
The Omega is going in my permanent collection so I would like to service it and keep it running "indefinitly" Also prices if you have any service spots
Did a search and there is not much information about my homecountry regarding this.
Thanks guys!!

I found a Tag Carerra wich I liked the quartz version of. Joshua has it on special for 128$ with shipping. If you compare it to the 278$ 7750 you will see sligh differences. I bought the quartz one. It even has shappire crystal *not mineral* The open backplate on the 7750 I dont need, im going to wear it back side down anyway
The quartz one also has incorrect subdials at 6 and 9.

Hehe. Not in a bad way!
You have infected me with watch madness, have been here for just a few days and already I am emtying my bank account. Ordered a quartz SMP 300m *noobie mistake* Then I ordered a SMP 300m "upgraded 2008 model" A7750.
Now I have bought watch repair kit from eBay, watch winder, magnifing station and all kinds of stuff. I am actually on the way to buy a quartz THCarerra *With same case and bracelet as the A7750" Just want the quarts for minimal hazzle for daily wear. The A7750 will be in the winder fro occasions.
Well!! I am on my way to falling head first into this world, and I think I like it
Been reading about 21j movements A7750, Unitas, quartz, torbillon and so on for days on end. Cant wait to get my clammy hands on the reps. I have a couple of bad reps lying around that I will gut and se whats going on inside.. I actually think I have a Breitling fantasy watch with 21j automatic im gonna "kill" The other one is a Breitling Navitimer with quartz *So no bother in opening that, other than to see what makes it "tick"
So thanks in indroducing me into this expensive wonderful world guys.
The most weird thing is that I am disabled *not in a wheelchair* and sitting around at home all the time so I really have nowhere to go at certain times. So in theory I would not even need a watch!!

We decided to let it stay. So I will be filling in some more information as I go along

Dammmit Well maybe the admins can just delete this post and write it up as a n00b mistake

I am a complete n00b and I wanted to read about the different movements of the reps we are buying. You who are seasoned might want to give me names of the different movements so I can collect links on the net about them so newcommers can get an introduction

Hello everybody.
I am [censored] I did not think to look for this forum before I went and bought a replica from amatory *Have not received it but I am waiting* However the rep I ordered where a Omega Seamaster 300m Chrono. We will see how this playes out.
After reading this forum I found your dear friend Josh. I have now ordered a Seamaster from him. If the first rep I ordered is of ok quality and not to shabby I will hand it over to my dad *he does not care too much, he is wearing a watch he purchased in Turky for 20$* So atleast he will be satisfyed.
Too bad I am likely to loose 160$ on a shabby watch but n00bs usually [censored] up the first time around.
Have been reading around here about shipping, reviews, the "toy" stories and much more. I am SOO happy I found you guys
The reps I have from before have all been kinda shabby. I have a Breitling navitimer that doesent remotely look like it should, and a Breitling "hybrid" kinda looking thing. However the Navitimer have served me well for like 8-9 years now and I have changed the battery twice. Still running like a champ.
So Hi everybody, take good care of me please..
Help On deciding....

Gunnys look awesome.. And I went for the 74 series wich is the most accurate rep to date I think!
