egyptomaniac Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Just wanted to say hello to everyone, and more importantly, a big thank-you!! This place is amazing! A friend of mine who is into reps gave me a link to this place, as I was admiring some of his reps, and decided I'd like to start a collection of my own I've spent the last few days reading and learning as much as I can, and I just have to say I'm so appreciative of the wealth of knowledge collected here! I've never known a lot about reps or gens for that matter, but the more I read the more interested I've become. It will take some time for me to keep all the movements and technical terms straight in my head, but I really want to learn! So far, I hate to admit, but I already made a purchase (somewhat of an impulse buy). I bought the Ballon Bleu de Cartier-Mid Size with the Asian 21J from Ruby (I'm hoping it fits though, as I only have a 5 1/2 inch wrist). I've always loved the look of that watch, but couldn't/wouldn't ever afford the gen, and to be honest, I had no idea there were such extensive options in the rep world. I did read some good things about Ruby in the review section (though nothing too recent??) so I hope my fist purchase will turn out ok. And now the waiting game begins and I am trying to be ever so patient! I'm planning another order both for me and maybe one for my husband (who also knows nothing about watches), but I want to take my time, and do more research before I make the next purchase. So far the contenders are the Frank Muller Ladies Conquistador with the Swiss Eta 2671-2 and the pink dial or the Rolex Masterpice Mid with the Swiss Eta 2671-2, smooth bezel,and grey dial. I'd like to also get a larger, more masculine watch for myself, but that is so out of my circle of knowledge, it will take more time for me to research those So, sorry for this really long first post! Usually I'm kind of shy on forums, and end up being more of a "lurker" than anything else. I just though it proper to introduce myself, and more importantly to let all know that the information provided here is much appreciated!
