txrob779 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) I have always loved watches. I have 107 years of heirlooms starting with a Southbend Conductors pocket watch, given to me by one of my great uncles for xmas, it was my grandmothers dad's 1899. Next I inheirited 2 40's Hamilton Tanks that were my grandfathers, then found my dads daily watch...an 8040 19 Jewel automatic Seiko 1977...that I had restored then eventually had 2 gen Datejusts and a gen Submarimer 16610 2006....cant remember the model number now...along with 3 Omegas both PO's. I bought a handfull of reps from trusted dealers and even sent one Sub to a guy from this board who modded my rep sub so good when I sold it to a friend of my watch maker...he flipped out on how GOOD of a replica it was... I miss shooting the [censored] with you guys and looking forward to offering my experiance, strength and hope to new guys getting to the hobby....its nice to be back.

This is the first year in 4 we missed ROT....we usually leave the ranch to head to Granbury to Stephenville to Hamilton then Lampassas then Austin and stay at The Crown PLaza on 290 and 35N watches and guns LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
