geo1nah2a Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 I have bought some from EL too.. A real gentleman. You could see that he loves his watches. I still remember his musical slideshows of the pam127. If any of You guys haven't seen it, try to find it, it is worth it! Anyone has a link to it? I think it was in the the old rwg.. Here is to EL We love You even if You don't "collect" anymore.. cheers!
TwoTone Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 and he finished up with the TW Best 3717 which he aided with in design with his partner in TW. That would be this one... PS: Jeff - thanks for the update on our friend down south... Double T
eunomians Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Yes... How could I forget the last EL masterpiece, the first 3717 batch! To this day, his 3717 is the best rep I have ever seen right out the box! ----- If you're reading this EL, this is for you!
Dario33 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 I still value my EL ultimate 1950 as one of my favorite reps. EL was the man!
TwoTone Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 And of course we can never forget EL's nicest piece...
geo1nah2a Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I have to admit that with the last couple of posts I do have a feeling that EL is amongst us
Chicken Manny Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I must have purchased dozens of watches from EL. I hope he is still hanging out around here although I suspect he is sitting next to jetmid, drinking a chilled Corona while cruising at 30,000 feet in the lap of luxury.
Chino Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I don't remember Eddielee as a dealer, as I never bought a watch from him, which I still regret... I do remember him as a member in the begining of the board, when he signed up as a member and inmediately became part of the soul of the board there, with his constant jokes, hilarious posts, elvis wig, his "portable" chopper bike and how to forget the giiiiiiiirls... I also remember when he became a dealer and started getting the best pieces. I was studying back then and just couldn't afford some eta based watches he offered, I had to go for the cheapest possibility around. and I think he was into medical supplies and not a coroner. But I may be wrong. man, if you're around with another name, then let me know! if you're lurking around, a pm saying Hi will make my week. cheers! Chino.
TwoTone Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 elvis wig, his "portable" chopper bike Ahh... The memories of Classic EL Chino... You make the mind wander...
eunomians Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 'Tis amazing how fast time flies--we've been around for a lonnng time now already. What a special place this is; and so were the 2 other places we once were at (old boards, no longer "around"). Cheers
Chino Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 That's the bike and the wig, what a laugh!! ...never thought if that was really him, but in some way, I did believe that. We know lots about other members, but we know so little faces. At least me, living so far south, in Polex Gelena, Shitinerand... where even ss watches have 750 stamped in their casebacks...
TwoTone Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 And let's not forget this one with the "Proper" coat...
Chino Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 mmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhh... memories... what a sexxxy coroner! can somebody bring him back? not as a dealer but as a member? That guy is really missed!
jeff g Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 TT, What a great photo. THAT is the EL we know and Love. Thanks for that. I emailed Eddie after that shot. I hope he will check it out.

pizzanooo Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I found El before finding Rwg1. Led me to the promise land way back when. El if your reading this, next rounds on you. Trivia on El. Known as Eddie Lee or El. Before that Sunshine. Was was Els handle even before Sunshine???
TwoTone Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 Trivia on El. Known as Eddie Lee or El. Before that Sunshine. Was was Els handle even before Sunshine??? @P Reminds me of a fireside chat a couple of months back...
emuozz Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 My first rep was provided by EL, an eta2892 TT omega constellation. As all have already said he was a great dealer and a very funny man. I hope he is doing well.
ExtraExtra Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I think its sunshine300....or perhaps jacky chen? It's been a while.
TwoTone Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I think its sunshine300....or perhaps jacky chen? It's been a while. Not Jacky... He's a different dealer from the old TRC days...
pizzanooo Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 @P Reminds me of a fireside chat a couple of months back... I honestly remember everything thing that night. Did finally come across it not long ago... Extra, your damn close with the 300.
AllergyDoc Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 Here's another oldie-but-goody: please read !!!! read read and read!!! I just came back from custom today. I had to rush back from Portland to attend the custom
promotersf Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 Wow, all these fast Eddie Lee comments has me walking down memory lane when I was a newbie several years ago, and he steered me through dozens of watches...to this day, hands down the best dealer I've ever dealt with. Not only a hilarious gentleman, but all around good dude who looked out for his customers. The majority of my purchases, EL would just send the watches before even receiving payment, always took care of any issues immediately, and was a true watch lover! He brought many amazing projects to fruition that we've all benefitted from. I hope you're lurking around Eddie, your presence is missed my friend. If you ever pop up in SF, dinner, drinks, and all the lap dances you can take on me! dave
AMK000 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I bought my PAM 063-GMT with real Swiss ETA 2893-2 from Eddie Lee back in February 2006. Paid a whopping $499.00 with a SS bracelet. It was the most expensive rep I have ever bought and still one of my best. Now we pay that price for Asian. Usil I got the 029 from him too (swiss 2893-2) ... same price as yours. These pieces are now selling for 700+ USD without any modifications. And the Mr Sunshine .... was a great guy and great sence of humour.
