Hi from Germanny

Hi folks,

since im browsing the forum on a daily basis and have gained valuable information on both reps and gens i decidet to "step into the light" and introduce myself to the forum.

Im 29 years old and i´m crazy about watches since i can remember. As most people i started with a few quarz watches like swatch and others. As i learned to appreciate the value of mechanical movements i proceeded to Seiko (the famous SKX007) and Steinhart. As my girlfriend somehow managed to loose my Seiko it decided to save up for a real watch.

So after a long year of working an saving i finally bought my first expensive watch, the PO Chorono. But as you all know the addiction got stronger and stronger and i had to have a second watch. I was always fancy about Panerai (in fact i had planed to buy the Pam 212 but then choose the PO Chrono), but back then the Panerai-hype was at its peak and as a result the prices, even for used watches, were extremly high. A long story short, after months of searching i found a preowned, unused Pam 90 at an unbeatable price (as you will see later i could not resist).

For the next year i was satisfied, just browsing the fora to be up to date.

And then i saw the first pictures of the rolex SDDS..... , tried it on at the ad... ... you all know the rest.

As im still in the funding process i thougt about purchasing a rep, did some research and thats how i ended up at RWG.

Now i have ordered two watches in a few months, and i´m afraid, that there are more to come.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING MY ADDICTION TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.

As i like to watch some pictures and as i know you like watching pictures here you go:

Thanks Lani,

aktually i was thinking of purchasing one , but i also like the SS HBB, and the AP ROO black themes, and the GMT IIc. Or maybe i should just buy myself a 111 and mod it... or what about the fiddy. And i definitely need the Avenger Skyland Blacksteel, and the UPO, and the Steelfish with white dial, no maybe ill have to get the big pilot first

....... i need to calm down i think

A hearty welcome to RWG now that you have "outed" yourself. You have gotten off to a wonderful start with a really wonderful collection. Somehow I think that watch box will be full sooner rather than later. And of course, congrats on that PAM 90 pick-up. It looks great.
