My first reps...

Do you remember your very first reps? Do you still have them? DO they still run?

Here are some of mine... I remember when these 99.99% 1:1 reps used to make me so happy. :lol:I guess we're only human, always wanting more. ;)

Omega GMT... this was a real gem, I didn't realise how lucky I was when I owned this rep, I sold it cause I was in financial need at the time. :( I bought it for peanuts when I was in Jakarta, so I thought reps like that was aplenty. I've owned and handled many Omega reps... there is no other one like this. The feel of the case... the bracelet looks and feel absolutely like a genuine. It had a swiss movement (2892, I think? GMT hand just a 24 hour indicator). The lume was SENSATIONAL, the best I've seen on ANY rep. All I needed was the white box on the date window and a gen seconds dial... and I would have had my holy grail. See for yourself... lots of pics.

I still have all of these except for the Corum and GMT. They all still run. ;)

Thanks for looking...

Wow, very impressive galery.

Too bad you didn't keep that GMT but keep all the other ones.

This hobby is very special: seems like we all do our homeworks pretty fast going from a totaly bad rep to a 99,9999% accurate one in a year!

Cheers

This primeval model actually works upon the slightest handling of the Rlx display case masterpiece. Handmade by 51 Swiss technicians (immigrants to Thailand) using 916L steel.

Quartz GMT Franken, no GMT hand LOL

Note the fine Swiss craftsmanship, all the way down to the cyclops position, which was painstakingly placed 6mm to the right of the 1x mag date. Crisp text courtesy of the IBM dot matrix printer, etc. "Superlative" does not nearly describe the marvels of this watch. One technician stood on the picnic table and yelled, "This shall be different!" Let us take a Sub dial and mate it with a 24 hour bezel; yes, it is completely useless in function, but so beautiful in form.

Is it a movement or an explosive device? You be the judge.
