excelsior Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hi all! I actually joined in January of this year but have been lurking around for a while. I was referred by a member who has been here since 2007. I'm interested in reps and gens, but right now I'm in the market for my first rep. I hope to find a good one through this great site!

redwatch Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 How is your tour of RWG and the rep world going? Have you settled in on your first choice yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excelsior Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I've actually been mostly busy with schoolwork, but I just designed GE's Ecomagination $200 millon challenge YouTube Page, and the guy who's running it paid me $250 for that. So I'm looking at a few reps now... can't afford a gen (but who can expect a middle-class student to afford one). I've been considering either a panda 1911 Discovery, a V2 Chronomat Evolution, or an IWC Portuguese Chrono. I'm leaning toward the Ebel or the IWC because I really admire the crispness of their designs. Most probably buying from Joshua, of course.

redwatch Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 The 1911 is a superb choice! One of the best out-of-the-box reps out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excelsior Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 I was also looking at a TAG Heuer Carrera Chrono 41mm on Josh's site (which I can't link because I have less than 5 posts), and was wondering why it's so much cheaper than the other reps... it's only $238 whereas other A7750 reps are around $300.

maxman Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Those are older models,the 43mm are from last year and are more accurate to the gen. The 41mm are still nice but I personally would pay the extra $80 and get the more accurate and up to date watch. Good luck on whatever you choose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excelsior Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Ah, that makes sense. In any case, I'm going to head off to an AD to see how a real one looks on my wrist before I eventually buy one or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Welcome to RWG, that 1911 will be nice, the porto is a stunner but can be problematic as you have proberbly read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
