What was your first rep? What is your favorite now?

[exec123]

Hi guys,

I'm new here and I've been researching for the past week trying to find out the watch I want to buy (AP RO Jumbo

I was wondering what everyone's first rep was and why- And also, what your favorite watch is right now.

If you can include pictures that would be more than great.

I'm excited to be a part of these forums simply because I love watches and it seems like the community is more than willing to help out- thanks!

My First rep was this EuroFakes Submariner, which cost me about $800.

The 'why', is that I'd tried on a gen Sub, and was not impressed enough by the feel of the watch on my wrist to justify the price tag, so I started looking for reps, and that was what I found. I sold it a couple of years back to help fund my wedding, and the buyer confirmed that it really did have a Swiss movement in it My current favorite... That's a hard question... My rebuilt collection revolves around the seasons and occasions/wardrobe, in that I have a DateJust which I wear with suits, a 1655 Explorer II on a custom leather cuff, which I wear more in the winter, and with more casual clothes like T-shirts, and I have a self-built Tudor Submariner on a Tropic-style strap which is my 'summer watch' (not wearing it at the mo as the keeper on the strap is on the verge of ripping ) My overall beater, is the Tudor Heritage which I'm wearing now. It's a bit big to really wear with a suit and expect to look formal, but it goes well with all other casual clothes, and when the weather gets hot, the NATO strap goes great with it If I really had to choose a favorite, and I'm sure this won't go down well with some, it would probably be my black plastic Submariner, which is simply the combination of a cheap fashion sub, with a modified Rolex dial. I say it's my favorite, because it cheers me up every time I wear it

Welcome to the party, and best of luck with your future purchases
