DemonSlayer Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 That is a very classy collection. I like looking at member's rep collection who have a taste for a particular brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 very - hopefully will unveil soon I have a couple of projects on the table at the moment which should complete my (20 year) Quest. Good luck with your unveilings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest porsche356a Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Each time you post the first picture I can't resist: I have a smile on my face. I love it Agreed. They speak to my inner child as well. Great line-up! Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I appreciate the compliments, but the purpose of the post was to poll others on the state of their hunt. How is YOUR search going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MimiSars Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 That black date just is really nice. I bought my first watch from Andrew and I love it. Ive looked on those scam sites for years and until I found this site, I didnt buy any of them. So I guess I have my dream watch now. The next one that I want is a Breitling. Maybe after that would be a Corum or Graham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Not sure if gens are permitted, but I have always had a soft spot for the Bond SMP, and earlier this year I finally bought one. I have found it to be such a versatile watch, and whilst it doesn't compare to the likes of IWC etc... for the money it is a great timepiece. I think the one rep that I would still like would be the closed factory Breitling Seawolf. I am in envy of Seadweller's!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 How is YOUR search going? I think my search is going well, thanks Freddy. I have no inflated expectations of what I will receive when the postman calls. But I am seldom disapointed with what drops through the letterbox. So, thanks, my search is going well overall. @b16a2 However, there is still no decent rep of the Breitling Aerospace....... BUGGER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. I was in contact with another member who had an awesome B1 replica, it was quite old and I dont think they're in production anymore, but for a cheap japanese rep, it looked very convincing, and at first glance I thought it was genuine. I suppose there wouldn't be enough demand if there were an Aerosapce rep, it's quite an acquired taste, (one that I love nonetheless). Stephane, I think a picture of your Rolex collection would be very fitting for this topic. Your collection of divers, and Freddy's collection of Daytona's leaves me speechless!

JoJo35 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I've done ok with my sub search & still considering a gen 16520 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Oh, well my quest is pretty simple: a Tudor Snowflake. I'd love to have a rep and a gen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironmarshal Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 not very successful here. My ultimate dream watch is the Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine, and sadly have yet to see a rep of this beautiful piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paneristi_man Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Freddy, like you know I love DJ, and your two DJ are really great! i love DJ too. how accurate are the DJs from the cartel? what are the major flaws if any? i tried looking for some reviews of DJs but there's very little. it might help my quest...

Seadweller4000 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 My quest is a Big Pilot. After I had one over the weekend, I can't stop thinking of it, so I hope my Exam will turn out well at the end of the year. Until then, I am pursuing to enhance my modded IWC and Breitling rep collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I was hoping that my picture would spark others to post pics of their dream watches as well. I guess I was not clear enough. Does anyone have pictures of their current dream watch -- gen, rep or franken -- collection? Those grail watches that took some extra work, time and/or effort to acquire.

Stephane Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Freddy I would be delighted to post a GOOD photo of that watch but I can't find a real good one...sorry I am talking about the black dial SnowFlake ...with or without date.

Stephane -- I am only interested in pics of grail watches that you already own. Or stories about why you want a particular watch that you do not own.

perry563 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Everytime I find what I think is THE ultimate watch it ultimatly disappoints! If I could point to one watch from each of my collections...gens and reps I would say my 1939 Gruen Curvex in 14K gold is my fav while in terms of reps my MBW 1665 GWSD is the most satisfing. I do have to say though that my latest buy a DeWitt Acedamia chrono is an outstanding piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I can say I'm pretty happy with how things have turned out for me. I'd still like to snatch up a 6542 someday, and one of those fine Snowflake Tudors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
