siger125 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hi all mynameis Regis , 30 married with 2boys French expat in Colorado i have been a watch enthusiast since i got my first watch when i was 7...a blue quick and flupke watch (comic characters).... after that it was a swatch skeleton (stupidly Forgotten at the pool), then a "gold" pocket watch around 12 (i asked for it) , then at 15 my grandma bough me the watch i wore for the next 10years while i was paying out of my own pocket to have my late grandpap turn of the century pocket watch fixed. When i started working i decided to go all the way and buy a GEN Breitling...but i was layed off because it was 2001 and i was working in IT...Our Conquest of Europe 6month prior turned into someone else buying us and our massive debts ...go figure....That actually really sucked because i fell in love with the blackbird of that time...the new one is nowhere as nice to me. I never bothers with replicas because i though they were crap with quartz movements. And then i found rwg.cc .... no idea how but i found and incredible amount of information that i have yet to assimilate. so now i just need to put aside some money to get my first rep Breitling (i already spent all my allowed "fun" money for the next 16years if my wife is to be believed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Replicas can provide an amazing experiance for a watch enthusiast. Not without pitfalls but worth the effort. They provide a lot of enjoyment for a 'modest' amount of money. Welcome to the group. Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siger125 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Yep sure i am French...
