ifly65 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) Ok...so I couldnt wait for my Eurotimez to arrive (its been 3 weeks so far as expected, Chris is super busy). So I bought an identical 'lower priced' version from a member here on rwg...yeah you read right...a second exact model TT. It arrived in a speedy two days from my purchase! I am very impressed...seeing that this is the first rep Ive ever owned. Unless you are on these forums looking at close up pics, AD, or a gen owner...this is totally acceptable. Im sure I will be happy with Chris's modded TT ...but this watch has me scratching my head a bit asking...why did I order the expensive rep? Thanks southwest for a great 'wearer' and making my first rep a successful transaction! Edited November 21, 2008 by ifly65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegaguy Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 congrats on your first rep--the two tone with blue face is the first one i ever ordered too.. Although i'm sure u love it, there's tons of flaws in this one compared to the gen---the euromariner will be completely different. much much more authentic looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifly65 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Thanks! Yeah Im really excited to get my Euromariner now. From what Ive learned on RWG so far, I can spot many things that are incorrect as expected. I guess I was thinking about some really bad Rolex reps that Ive seen locally. You could spot problems a mile away without even picking them up...so I am impressed with the quality for the megar amount Ive paid for it. It will be great to wear to band gigs and I wont have to worry about it at all. I oiled the bracelet...wow what a difference...thanks for the tips RWG. Now I hope it stays running for a while...it has the st6d movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegaguy Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Sweet--when is your Euromariner scheduled to arrive? Mine should be here any day now. I ordered the black face SS sub. My 2 tone blue face is from www.watchmaker9.tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifly65 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) Chris said it could take a bit longer than the usual 2-3 weeks...that's all I know. I emailed him a few days ago, then I read his post about being super busy. Ive mention to Chris that I'm not in a hurry at all. For my Euromariner, he is doing many things...a prototype Euromariner TT with: Noob dial, DW and bracelet, morphed with an MBK case, bezel. Then for mods...a fatter gen like tube, clark crystal and an upgraded pearl! It was a bit more than I wanted to spend. Im expecting a sweet rep based on Chris's reputation. He was really patient with my 'noob' emails...answered everything I asked...then I found all the answers on RWG. You can find everything on this forum! Do you have any pics of your TT?

omegaguy Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 you can check out pics of it on www.watchmaker9.tv .....just click submariner on the left hand side and click the 2 tone model. it's exactly the same. all i changed was shaved the crown guards and changed the bezel but the one you ordered from chris will have a better dial, datewheel and pearl than mine.
