  1. So last night I was dragged to the Mall by my Girlfriend. Once we got there I managed to [censored] her off on purpose and ran to ADs. This mall Has 3 major ADs. I had my new H Pam 005 on but i kept it under my jacket and did some window shopping/drooling.

    I entered the last AD and they had a Milgauss black dail !!! I just received this exact rep. about 2 weeks ago Since this AD didnt sell Pams I said what the hell let me try on the Gen Milli. Man!!! the rep of this watch is so good its scary. The biggest tell is the second hand but honestly if you didnt have the Gen side by side or know that the paint should be dipped and the cuts on the lightning bolt should sharper you wouldnt know it was a rep. The look on the wrist and feel were the same. Makes me wonder Why my watch was $300 and this one is $7000? I started a convo with the sales rep. after he noticed my Pam, This guy didnt know ANYTHING about his products. I was schooling him. Yea i know that we're all geeks that know way to much about our watches and the average Gen owner doesnt know half the stuff we know since He/She isnt trying to figure out wha'ts wrong with their watch, but dude you should know that the new Rolex bezel is ceramic...

    I've owned Countless watches since finding RWG in 2006/07. But I don't keep too many watches on hand. At the moment i only have 3 reps (a modded 3717 that i've had since 07, the new H Pam 005 and the new Milgauss) I use them for awhile, take really good care of them , wait till the next best thing that gets my attention comes out then sell it to fund a the new one. Im glad that RWG and our dealers give us a way to enjoy these beautiful timepieces without having to be a millionair. I dont think i would ever spend 5k+ on a watch that I know I may get bored with quickly once something cooler comes out,or that i can get an exact copy for less than 10% of the gen price.

    I guess my point of this rant is to thank all you nerds out there for saving me tons of Cash that I would have spent if i didnt know any better. Also with the quality of these new reps coming out is a gen really worth it ?? My $200 Pam005 is almost perfect compaired to the $5k+ Gen.

    Golden moment :

    I text my GF and told her where I was In the mall cause she was done shopping. She walks in as the sales rep is putting the Milgauss back in the case and she blurts out " Hey don't you have that watch already??" ... I turned red , thanked the guy and walked out lol

  2. Hey Guys,

    I'm going to be the best man in my best friends wedding in a few weeks so I really wanted to give him a Gen as a gift. I couldnt afford a high end brand and I didnt want to go rep. So I went with a Hamilton because my buddy is a weapons engineer for the US Army and we all know the history between Ham. and the military. I think I did pretty well on this piece, MSRP was 1695 but after talking to the owner and finding out he is Ex-Military he let me walk-out with it for 1k cash. I saw this model for 890-975 online but I think I did good buying it from a Aut. dealer for a few bucks more.

    Guys I would love your feed back :clapping:

  3. So Guys, last month my Company was selected to handle the Valet Parking for charity event hosted by the NY Yankees. I Had the pleasure of meeting most of the team and one of my sports Idols Derek Jeter. :thumbsupsmileyanim: At the end of the night they gave us gift bags. I was so drained I threw it in the back and forgot all about it. This morning I took my car in for service and noticed the bag when they were vacuuming the back. I opened it up and BOOM WINE ! and a black box .. I open the box and found........................................

  4. Every rep has its flaws .. If not they would be gens ... Honestly to me it's all about the feel ... I had a cheap GMTIIc that felt 10x better and received more compliments on than any of my higher end reps .. What the reviewer meant is that if someone were to pick up that watch that didn't know any better they would be like Oh $*** this watch is no joke .... I have yet be have someone walk up to me and say Hey ur watch is Fake ! And then whip out the exact same Gen Version of the watch and challenge me to a Watch Off...

    It all about how the watch feels and wears on the wrist ...

  5. +1 Ali. Also, I never understand posters giving a hypercritique when the OP is obviously very proud of their purchase and did not ask for a critique. If an OP says, "tell me what you think..." then, by all means, tell him, otherwise, let him be proud. That's what this forum is about...purchasing, modding, building, frankening, or otherwise procuring a watch that satisfies you and makes you happy, even is another person would want more.

    @1024...Great review on a great watch! Great pics!

    Preach on ! lol

  6. Thanks alligoat ! ... It has a WM bezel and a clarks bezel spring. The seller said jack made those mods for he's sold him the piece ... But a gen insert would be amazing .. Would the gen insert fit on this watch ? And where would I find it ? This Is why I never got into rollies Way Too Much Reading ! Lol I got the bug now !
