About 320 bucks Worth it I think!

New Pro Hunter Sub from Josh - ETA movement. Thoughts? Pretty pleased with it although it's a bit loose on my wrist!

I'm a little worried about a friend of mine who seems to have become addicted to buying reps. We started out buying from Josh at the tail end of last year. I'm very happy with mine, and look forward to buying another in several months time. However, my friend has since gone on to buy two more watches within the past month and never seems to be satisfied to leave it there. Understanding that there is much satisfaction in the process of purchasing and then owning a rep, how can I help him to manage this in a more sustainable way for the long term? Surely there is a limit to how many you should buy over the course of six months, while staying financially solvent. thanks in advance TNM

erm for some reason this image doesn't seem to show up. Promise I'm not trying to bump this post, just trying again to show the photo:

This watch turned up in a collection of inherited jewellery that a relative has got. Does anyone know anything about what model this is, or what its value might be?

Thanks for the comments guys. Glad to be here. The waiting period was incredible. I must have gone onto that parcel tracking website 20 times a day until it arrived. Then seeing the box in reception at my office was brilliant. Can't say it is this exciting ordering things off Amazon. I've bought myself some dry lube from a bike shop already and given the bracelet a bit of treatment with that. (so much dirt came out!) Will probably have a crack at the nail file eventually. It's not bothering me too much but I reckon it will make a difference. TM

Hi, I just thought I'd do a quick post about my first rep. I joined up on the forum several weeks ago, and read with keen interest about what to do and what to expect. I've got a pretty thin wrist so after a great deal of thought (and changing my mind a lot) I settled on the rep Explorer 1 from Josh (good service as expected). Seems to be the biggest watch I can get away with (and what a classy watch as well). Waiting for it to arrive was agonising and exciting in equal measure. Eventually it came after roughly a fortnight. The main thing that I think is letting it down a bit is the clasp on the bracelet. It seems a little be rough to me. (Are replacements easy enough to find/install?) And the link edges are a little sharp. But neither of these things are a big deal. It's absolutely beautiful, and I'm very pleased. Having not worn a watch for many years (my last one was a Casio Twincept. Hah!) I'm thinking I'll most likely be buying a couple more over the next year or so (quite fancy getting a Sub as it's such a classic). Here are a few pics TM
