My First Post


Recommended Posts

Hi all. I am new to the site, this being my first post. I have been a big fan of rep. watches for some time. I have a tressure box full of replicas (all broken) that I have collected while travelling abroad.

Recently I was searching for a Speedy moon watch and a friend sent a link to the RWG Speedy Watcheden thread and the rest is history. My Speedy arrived yesterday. I know it

I have spent a while reading posts since I joined the forum a few weeks back and already I have purchased my second rep. based on advice from reading posts on this site. It’s an Ultimate Planet Ocean 45mm with Black Bez and 2824-2 movement. Can’t wait for this baby to arrive.

I doubt I will post that often as I’m not a watchmaker and my knowledge is limited but it is great to be able to come to a place where I can get quality info and advice.

Thanks for having me on board.

Welcome.. we are more than watches Chargin !!

We are really a "Community" of watch nutz and not all of us are watch smiths.. I definitely am crazy about watches .. that's about all you need to really get involved .. a passion ..

and along the way you may surprise yourself and learn more than you think you can about mechanics..

We have fun and make many friends along the way...

You've taken the first step.. so don't stop posting .. asking Q's..

Post us a pic or 2 of your UPO ... most of us here have had ours modded with genuine dial's and more.. the parts are readily available and Pugwash has a "how to" turn your UPO into a 'franken UPO'

here are my UPO modded franken's .. with genuine dial, crystal, and crown and tube.. the orange dial has the invisible AR coating from our AR specialist Chief tang ... better than the genuine xtal..

Welcome to RWG Chargin. :thumbsupsmileyanim: The Omega PO Is a excellent rep. My first rep was the PO quartz. It was OK but my second rep was a Panerai 250 with a 7750 auto movement. This purchase was the one that got me hooked. There is something very special about a automatic as you will see. The only reason I made my first post was to get rid of that pita noob baner. :D I also thought I would very seldom post, now look they cant shut me up. :pardon: I hope you stick around because you have found the very best watch community In existence. Let us know what you think about your Omega PO. :victory: Mike

Chargin55 (lol) great name,

Kind of spooky that your first post should be about your new speedy, One small step for man........

Can't wait to see the speedy, let me know when the UPO arrives, I'll come over with 6 pack and a macro lense.

Welcome on board,

Lump.

Thanks for the welcome. The OP has arrived and is a beautiful watch. Particularly impressed with the ss band which I expected would have spacing and kink issues but it is perfectly rounded and very attractive. The Moon Watch has had a lot of positive comment too. But this OP is stunning. Can't stop looking at it. The start of things to come no doubt..
