Timepiece Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 (edited) I started my collection of reps some months ago triggered by a friend who owns a gen Chopard Mille Miglia. Looking for a nice deal on the net I stumbled over the RWG forum. Pretty soon I had a nice wishlist and started with an order of three watches from Andrew (Trusty). Now the following reps have replaced my gen Seiko Kinetic on my wrist: Omega SMP Bond ETA (Trusty) Rolex Submariner 16610 ETA (a Trusty, thanks Dutchy!!) Tag Link GMT ETA (Joshua) Chopard Mille Miglia Asian (thanks rmcsherry!!) Jaeger Le Coultre Master Reserve de Marché cream Asian (Trusty) Omega Constellation two-tone ladies Quartz (Trusty) IWC Portuguese Chrono ETA (in-transit from Trusty) (The SMP came with a Chronometer 300M bracelet; I bought a replacement from Andrew, so it's for grabs!) GEN Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay (pretty beaten...) SMP Bond Sub 16610 Tag Link GMT Chopard Mille Miglia Jaeger Le Coultre P.s. the blue beauty in the back is a V8 Cobra replica.

NaviChief Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Great shots. For a second I thought to myself, how the hell is he getting those things to float in front of the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timepiece Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Thanks! (No Photoshop trics, just a picture taken in front of another picture...) And this is what was delivered today: a beautiful IWC Portuguese. I just switched the strap for a BOB strap that is a bit more red in daylight (you can't tell from this picture) and has some more padding. I saw a gen with a gen croc or alligator strap that was even more red. So I think I will try a so called Hadley Roma strap in the near future.

Timepiece Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 That's it, with those pics, gimme back my 16610 Great pics, great collection, great taste, well done Thanks Dutchy, you're right: the Sub got the best pic! Sorry, but it has become one of my favourites! Looks like the JL has got to go; it doesn't get wrist time anymore ever since I got the IWC Porto!

By-Tor Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Very nice collection... you have all the "basics" covered. That TAG Link GMT isn't something you see every day. I really like the watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timepiece Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 nice coll!..seeing the IWC it remembered me that i am waiting for mine to arrive....it is a beauty...but i can see you miss a PAM...how come? You're absoluteley right! Actually last couple of days I have been trying to find some info on a PAM050. I don't have a big wrist and this seems to be a model that I like AND would fit me!! Any tips or links?! For the Breitling fans: oh yeah, that's also on my wishlist: Black-bird Chrono, Ti Avenger or black strapped black Navitimer Serie Speciale.

Timepiece Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Very nice collection... you have all the "basics" covered. That TAG Link GMT isn't something you see every day. I really like the watch. Thanks! OK, I miss at least a PAM and a Breitling and a nice Tourbillon, but there must be something to desire, right?! I will try to reshoot the TAG, cause this pic is not serving it. It is a great 'goes with everything' watch. The curved top slides smoothly under dress shirts and in bright light the edged markers sparkle. Also the black wavy dial and the special TAG link bracelet w/o holes/screws is magnificent! My Porto, Link GMT, SMP and Sub battle for daily wristtime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
