First purchase

[mastrmindalliance]

Just got my first purchase; the Noobmariner, from Eurotimez. Chris and all the staff I dealt with were very helpful, especially with my n00bery. Being new, I definitely asked some silly questions and very probably annoyed the guys a little bit, but they were gracious, helpful and above all, always felt trustworthy. Eurotimez will definitely remain "my guys".

I'd also like to thank the good people here for being welcoming and again, helpful with my noobness. Wouldn't have happened without RWG. Thanks to all.

I'm sure you've all seen the Noobmariner before, but here are my pics. Sorry they're night pics:

With some gen friends:

I have a large collection of gens, mostly mid to high end "fashion" watches. So what did I think of my first rep? Initially underwhelmed, I filed, buffed polished and lubed (have a great product technique tip for other Aussies on the lube but I'll post elsewhere) and now it's a lot better. Having been out to local jeweller/watch/clock supplier and bought a couple hundred dollars worth of tools and parts, I definitely plan to work on it some more. I'm VERY impressed with the dial. A tip for other noobs, pay for the better movement, I didn't.

Thanks again Eurotimez and RWG peeps, you all rock. Now, about that Planet Ocean...

Congratz on your first rep, good choice Imho. It seems that your are new to reps but not timepieces In general, you have some mighty fine looking watches there. My first rep was the Omega Po chrono with the orange bezel. I did not have a clue about movements when I got here so I purchased the quartz version, big mistake. Oh well I had to start somewhere. Looking at your gens It's really hard to say much on your rep. I hope you enjoy your stay here, RWG Is about as good as It gets, and thats rep or gen Imo, good luck and happy hunting. Mike
