edgematic1 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hey guys, Most of you will probably know me from the AP section. I've been a member on the rep fora since 2008 and really haven't been on here actively since about 1-2 years. I'm checking back in. I was collecting & still am collecting gens but after a recent burglary where they only came for my watches I'm drawn back to reps. I took a big hit and don't want it to happen again so most of my gens will stay at the bankvault. Let's get back to getting some reps in my home! :-). Looks like the makers mainly focus on Rolex, AP, Tudor etc. Not as much Panerai as back in the day nor Hublot or other brand. Think for example about Oris, Longines, ... My main interest for the last years are vintage pieces, preferably utilitarian. I love pieces used in the military. Anyhow. Hey guys!

Legend Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 No kidding, this is a visit by Royalty! Did anyone chill the Moet et Chandon? I thought that the Moet is an Elites Lounge exclusive? No? Much like the cuban cigars and fanciful magazines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panda06 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I thought that the Moet is an Elites Lounge exclusive? No?

I guess you do know your champagnes. What would you recommend for pouring down Edge's royal throat then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I've only been here about a couple of years, so I missed you first time around. It's always good to see a member return, though I'm sorry to hear of the circumstances. I hope you collected on the insurance at least.

What would you recommend for pouring down Edge's royal throat then? 1 Bollinger grande année 2 Dom Pérignon 3 Cristal roederer second choice (the one you have at home for regular drink) Ruinart Laurent Perrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Thanks guys! Yummy, Champagne! Great list panda! One of the Champagnes I love the most is "Paul Etienne St. Germain". A small family run Champagne house on the Avenue de Champagne in Epernay. They've beaten Dom Pérignon in a contest a while back. The champagne's on me guys, it's only a 3h drive... Unfortunately the stolen pieces weren't insured. I usually keep them at the bank, this time I had 4 of them lying at home. The biggest hit was my Rolex 5513 gilt from '66. Gonna work hard to earn that back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertk Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Welcome back Edge. Terrible news about the theft. The only major change is that the reps are better and more EXPENSIVE! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Glad to have you back!! Sorry to hear about your watch thefts. There are so many lowlifes in the world today, scares me to have anything valuable, unless it is locked up in a bank safety deposit box.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
