markiemark Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 I've been a member for a couple months now creeping around here, but I never introduced myself. Since I'm more often on RWG I decided to do a little introduction: My name is Mark, I am a 23 year old webdesigner from the Netherlands. I bought my first rep when I was 16, it was a Breitling Bentley edition, plastic-shiny kind for $60. It was waaaay too big so it was literally hanging on my wrist (like a rapper). Two years ago I bought my first 'good' rep, a PAM253 from a dude on YouTube (see pic below) and I'm still proud of it. The strap is a bit messed up since the quality of the leather is the cardboard kind. Last week I ordered a French Ammo strap from Ted Su and I'm waiting for it like a kid on Christmas. When it arrives I'll show it off here! At this moment I'm saving up for a new rep, not sure which one yet. My preferences so far: PAM111 Noob, PAM88/237 H-factory, Submariner 114060 Noob (hate the bezel insert and hands though), JLC NSD, and the APROO Diver. Thats about it... O and the promised pic:
LeSentier Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 Hey Mark, nice introduction 9th post, no noob questions, homework done! Welcome aboard Regards from Austria Joerg
LeSentier Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 And keep on posting pics - that's what this place is for
redwatch Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 Welcome to the forum! I think there was or is a member here that is in his teens, but you are definitely one of the younger ones!! Definitely can't go wrong with the newest noob 111. A very popular and very "close-to-gen" example! Another favorite of mine is the PAM 390.
wimpie007 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Hehe I think Yodap was the youngest, Im also from The Netherlands mate! Welkom! Edited September 18, 2012 by wimpie007

greekgod Posted September 20, 2012 Report Posted September 20, 2012 Welcome... I am 23 too... just the numbers placed the other way around No one helps me with my quest for that gorgeous 1950 case style pam
plaifender Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 Welcome! At 23 I doubt you're the youngest member here. I joined the original RWG back in 2006 when I was 22 (I'm 29 now).. I was a younger member.. but over the years we've even seen high schoolers around here. So yeah.. don't try to make you're self feel younger than you are... you just make us others feel like OLD FARTS!! haha. Have fun and welcome to the jungle.
