Pugwash Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I'll try to get all the watches into this thread today, tomorrow and so on. I will post the less-photographed watches first and then get on to the popular or well-known ones later. We'll start with my Breguet 5907. I bought this from a fellow member and replaced the red croc bracelet with a more traditional black calf one. It now looks much more classy. I think the only watch that could replace this one would be a Viagra Jones Next up, another watch I bought from another member. It's a fantasy Vacheron-Constantin and I thought it would be interesting to photograph, and it was. It doesn't get that much wrist-time these days and is possibly due to be sold on to someone who'll wear it. More to be added to this thread over the next few days ... The most photographed Sub on the forums? Possibly. This is my Rolex Submariner I bought from TTK as my first ever replica back in Feb 2006. Not a lot to say, apart from it's an Asian 21j Sub and it does the business. Old Faithful. Next up is my Rolex GMT Master II fantasy. This was from Silix and is the GMT Rolex should have made. Another member watch. This time, a Rolex Day-Date. It's Asian, fake gold and cheap. I keep this one around for comedy value. I do like it, really. Of my Omegas, I think I have the most respect for my Omega Moon Watch that was won in one of Precious Time's raffles. Leather, NATO, steel ... this watch changes personality very comfortably. My Omega Seamaster GMT was from Trusty Time. Another excellent value watch, an Asian 21j with a GMT movement. Finally, this was an Omega Seamaster Pro I sort of bought by mistake. My brother in Thailand was getting me a Daytona that turned oout to be out of stock, and I liked James Bond's Goldeneye watch and tried to buy it, but got this one out of sheer noobness. It's a perfectly acceptable watch, I just don't have any room in my wearing cycle for another steel diver. It'll probably be gifted to my other brother shortly. As you can see by the sheer lack of recent photos, this isn't that near the top of my favourites, and that's actually due to a lack of half-links. A blue NATO could bring this one back to life. And there we are. All my Omegas. My Panerai 111h is known as The Legend. I got this one from Silix Prime and it's the cheap Chinese version. Rock solid, waterproof and inspiring me to buy a bewildering array of straps, it's a regular on my wrist. The final piece in my replica collection is the piece de resistance, my IWC GST Chrono, model number 3707-003, the titanium one. This stunning watch was also won on one of Precious Time's raffles. This was the first grail watch I saw after getting involved with the replica scene, and the opportunity to own this one was a privilege. It's powered by a pristine Asian 7750@28, and was recently serviced by the legendary The Zigmeisterzumba himself. A full review of the GST is due very soon, so I'll not dwell on it too much. UPDATE An additional Rolex arrived before the two new Panerais. It's a Rolex Turn-O-Graph that I bought from a Friend-in-need. Asian 21j, Turd-Oh-God. More Panerais Recently, I won the Post-of-the-Month here on RWG. The prize was an incredible Panerai 196 Daylight from Silix-Prime which was way out of my league. It's got a genuine ETA Valjoux7753, Anti-Reflective coating, decent markers and awesome presence. Seeing as Silix was covering the delivery of the 196, and I had a 40€ credit note from them dating back to my GMT's second hand falling off, I decided to clear off all the accounts and spend it there and then. The Panerai 183 Black Seal was one of the two original choices, along with the 111h pictured above, so I added it to the order, paid the extra and received this watch: Chrono Madness There was a group buy recently organised for the IWC Portuguese Chrono from Silix Prime, and this watch was an absolute must-have. I ordered it in standard configuration, but later got the black moocroc to make it perfect. After this, I saw the Breitling Navitimer sold by Ruby and, after a lot of down-time, I finally got it on my wrist on a Bob For Breitling strap. Another IWC On my long list of must-haves, there was always the IWC Aquatimer 2000m and I recently got one off Precious Time. For all its faults, it's a gorgeous watch and is earning serious wrist time. ... I hope I get to update this post soon when the next PugWatch arrives. What have we missed?

Pugwash Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I had to think long and hard as to whether or not to put my Poljot, Seiko, Storm, Swatches and Timberland in there, but the lack of repness made me decide against it. However, I will be putting Mrs Pugwash's Crazy Hours up tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 *stomping feet of TTK charge along the corridor* I wouldn't say I am the best photographer "among all of the members of the forum", but I'm probably the most prolific. in recent times. Once Mrs Pugwash returns, I'll stop posting so bloody many pics. I hope my ordered watches get here before she does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubFrog Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Pugs, that Breguet 5907 is beautiful. I'm looking for one like that down the road. I also like your GMT Master II. Nice collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Pugs, that Breguet 5907 is beautiful. I'm looking for one like that down the road. Well, if I get a Jones, I'll be putting the Breguet up for trade. Maybe I should offer it up part-ex for a Viagra Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Beautiful collection, Pug, and yes, your picture taking is excellent, too. It's interesting for me to see that you have a number of asian 21j's. I, too, have a number and just had one stop this week- it looks similar to the movement in your gold Day-Date. It was a great "beater". the kind you wear doing yard work, working out, etc. If it gets bunged up, you don't care, you just hate to see it stop running for no particular reason. Guess I'll see what the watchmaker has to say. That Speedmaster Moon watch is also a good looker- with the copy movement, whatever it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Wow... Great collection, Pugs! Lots of diversity and variety. Top notch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 That Speedmaster Moon watch is also a good looker- with the copy movement, whatever it is! That Sea-gull ST19 movement is a copy of the Venus 175. Wow... Great collection, Pugs! Lots of diversity and variety. Top notch! Cheers. I hope to get rid of a few of the less-worn pieces just to tighten up the collection and make it harder to decide what to wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
