2011 - Pictorial Look-back at The Past 12 Months (Modem Melter)

Recommended Posts

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)

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. :D

Here's the watchbox damage for 2011:

Nice collection, and beautiful pics ! Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure you already have (more than) a idea of what will come in 2012. Which ones will come this year ? ;)
