justlounging Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Having just welcomed 2012 about 48 hours ago, this is a pictorial look-back at the watches (gen & rep) that I acquired in 2011. 2011 had been exciting in the world of reps as factory standards improved significantly. I came across, by accident no less, into RWI towards the end of 2010 whilst doing a google search on Panerai and was truly amazed at the amount of images there were available. I then found out about RWG and the other sister/brother forums (i.e RG, WC). The rep forums proved to be most informative, not so much of the jerk-circle gen forums that I once often frequented. Everyone is helpful in dispensing information and assistance. Mods, Trusted Dealers, VIPs, members all were friendly and helpful. A BIG kudos to all of you guys! Here are the watches that found their place in my watchbox (& on my wrist) over the last 12 months: Part I (Rolex/ Tudor / Omega) Explorer 14270 Explorer 214270 Explorer II 1655 "Orange-Hand" Explorer II 16570 Black Explorer II 16570 "Polar" (Gen) Oysterdate Precision 6694 Manual-Winding (Gen) Yachtmaster 16622 Rolesium Tudor 7032 Monte-Carlo Omega "Reduced" Speedmaster Japan Exclusive - Marui Edition (Gen) *Missing in Action: Tudor Snowflake 94010 - Currently in service Part II (Panerai) 005K V1 025A 026K 111J 112J - My first built using an old 111H midcase with Taka Single AR crystal, high beat 21.8kbps movt, Francisco's sticker decal, DSN 112 dial and 111J caseback. 312L V1 2012 offers yet another 12 months of endless possibilities of upping the quality and accuracy of our reps. Thanks to the TDs for taking the members' feedback and comments to incorporate in the final product offerings. I most probably need another 10-12 piece watch box for 2012. Here's the watchbox damage for 2011: I can't wait! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
