eunomians Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I still value my EL ultimate 1950 as one of my favorite reps. EL was the man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geo1nah2a Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Manny Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share 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 Share 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.

eunomians Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chino Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share 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...

promotersf Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
