Middleold watch addict, new to the forum...


Recommended Posts

...but not so new to reps anymore :)

Hi happy.gif

I´m a watch addict since several years now and am a so called "flipper".
I always buy and sell and buy and sell and I´m always on the hunt for "the collection".
I had some very nice watches which seemed to be, at least, the start of my exit collection...but (there is always a but eye.gif )...there are some watches that I´ll never own as a gen since they are simply to expensive for me sad.gif.

I tried with hommage watches like Steinhart, Davosa and else...no way...they look similar but at the end they are a just look-a-like and easier to spot even for a non-watch-addict.

So I asked myself...why not try to buy a replica...and...i found out...without even a little knowledge I don´t have to send my money somewhere...it´s easier to throw it into the bin...

So with that "knowledge" I started to read and learn and read and learn...(to be continued)...

 

Meanwhile I managed to buy a regmariner LV which is pretty nice for the money and a really good start I guess.
I too bought a "16610 Superrep" but this one needs some love since the mvmnt has some trouble.

Good thing for me is that I live only a few km from where Domi is located and the previous owner will cover the costs.

 

And...I purchased three watches from Andrew (TT)...one is already on its way :)

since the 1675 are not in stock yet I decided to change my previous order and switched to a 16750...waiting for QC pix now...

and only because I´ve read a lot about the superb out of the box qualitiy of the actual ultimate superlumed SD I had to order one

And...last but not least...I decided to stay with this, sort of, new hobby for a while and upgraded to platinum today :)

Saturday is the day I´m going to meet Domi in person and hopefully he´s able to fix the problem on my 16610 in seconds ;)

 

And a second good thing is the latest status of my first watch from Andrew :) :
