  1. @sgtguk, thanks for the welcome and the kind thought. @Lobster, hi fellow Londoner. Yes, patience I've had to learn over the years. The watch is a Breitling Avenger, if it gets here!
  2. A brief hello to one and all, I've been watching from the wings, reading and learning, and it's now time to say hello. I'm in my fifties, and still have every watch I've ever owned (since the age of 12), but I've only been into reps for the last 4 or 5 years, and since I've not long discovered this forum, as you can imagine, I've been burned once or twice. My collection now tops 100, 17 of which are reps. This sounds grander than it is because most of the reps are cheapies, and the gens are only old Ingersolls, some Russian oddities like Raketa and Poljot and Vostok, and then more recently quite a few Rotary, Accurist, Seiko, Citizen, and Pulsar chronos. The normal route, I guess. Ironically, the most money I've spent on a rep so far is one that looks like it's been seized in the current UK customs crackdown. So, in short, a noob here, but I do share your collective madness!
  3. A little update, don't know if it's helpful or not. I ordered two packages on the 18th. August, one by registered China Post, the other by EMS. The registered mail package arrived today, seemingly unopened. The EMS package has been at Coventry since the 21st., and I had an e-mail update from my TD today to say they had 15 packages for the UK all in the same position. Looks ominous? Not sure.....
