A moment of reflection

[wraithride]

I was sitting here going through my email, and I decided to check my spam folder to see if there was anything interesting, or any email that needed to be rescued before I cleared the folder. There was an email in there that caught my attention. It said:

"AAA+ quality replica watches..."

I sat there for a second, and I found a smile upon my face. I thought back to the days when I had no clue about replica watches, except that I wanted one. I thought back to the hours I spent scouring the web looking for replica watches and any resource I could find. I remember almost pulling the trigger on a few occasions, but decided at the last moment to hold off. I remember finding the fake review sites that pointed you to other scam sites, hoping to reel you in. I remember the feeling of how badly I wanted my first replica watch, a blue Omega seamaster.

It was by sheer happenstance that I found the forums, a post that was linked warning about scam sites. I remember thinking that it couldn't be real, a community devoted to the hobby of replica watches!?!? Seriously? After the giddiness settled down, I became a sponge soaking up all the information i possibly could. I remember finding the dealer section and browsing all the available replicas out there. My world suddenly went from the bleak reality that I wouldn't be able to find a replica without the possibility of being scammed, to a bright and beautiful world filled with possibilities. I felt so out of my element when I looked at all the posts and people were throwing out acronyms left and right. What did all this mean? How can I fit in? Then there was all the information on movements, chronographs, do's and don

round of applause for wraithide! Beautiful words man. I think we can all relate to your post. It's funny how time passes.. I remember the "before" very clearly.. Not knowing anything about watches, and just wanting to jump the gun on a scam site.. I ended up stumbling here and now I'm half an expert three years later. Just goes to show how time and dedication to a hobby can give you such self fullfillment especially when looking back.

Great to have members like you to remind us all of what started the journey!

Greetings from spain,
