Story of a 12-year old replica watch


By-Tor

Recommended Posts

Haha Nanuq, sounds like PAMs for you are like Rolex for me.

 

Then once I got myself a WM9 Submariner I suddenly 'got it'...I love most of the Rolex models now.

 

Funny I got my off a dead man too, this watch collecting business is more dangerous than it seems!

Wow, great to see you back By-Tor!!!

 

Such a great story, nice to read others as well.

 

 

This was my first rep, back from 2008 v3 Euromariner from Eurotimez off this forum back in the day when I was a 1st year medical student.

 

I thought I would buy the gen version as soon as I had the $$$

 

Well, almost 10 years later, and though I have plenty of $$$ now, this is  by far my most favorite and special watch...no desire to by a gen.

 

I enjoy wearing it and looking at it with pride for at all the time I spent modding this watch, sanding the retaining ring to fit a gen bezel insert, drilling the case for a gen tube, getting the gen crown to fit the DG stem,  drilling the lug holes, making the chamfers, etc


 

Here is the first pics when I first got it before she got few  upgrades over the years like the flat S WM9 dial and TC hands and a vac relume  :)

Amazing. Cheers mate.

 

Is Eurotimez still around? I wouldn't mind buying a few reps from him. Just for the old times' sake.

 

PS: I got a gen 16610 myself. But I still wear the WM9 v2 too (with gen crown, insert and other nice stuff).
