Hello from a finnish guy living in the UK!

Hello all RepGeek members,

I've been enjoying the board for a couple of weeks now and I am afraid I've already been bitten by the bug.

I've been more into gen watches before (got a Speedy, Carrera and a vintage Rado) but I have just bought my first rep, which is a Fiddy from Pugwash. (Hope I made a decent choice for a good starter.)

Already looking at more watches and trying to hold myself back from ordering. I'm amazed by the quality of reps available and collecting them seems like a great hobby!

Here's a few pics of the gens I've got, taken by me:
Might post a wristshot of the Fiddy when I get it. :)

Looks like the majority of this board is a bunch of great guys. Looking forward to getting more into the hobby! :cool:

It's a bold choice. :)

Indeed it is. Cant wait to see it.

Heh, yea, especially when my biggest watch has been the Carrera at about 41mm and even it feels big compared to the Speedy.

Welcome Arrin!!!

Welcome Arrin

nice collection

Thanks louisruby and Meden!

I wouldn't call it a collection, just daily wearers. :)
(Planning to get rid of the Omega though, not getting wrist time.)

Pugwash? I hear he is a pretty good member. Welcome Arrin

Hi Arin,

Good to have you aboard - enjoy RepGeek and let us know if we can help with anything.

Nice work with the pics, they look very good.

Keep us posted on your purchase and again, Welcome!

Cheers

nice collection Arrin!

Enjoy

love that speedy Arrin, welcome mate

I love your Speedmaster.

Hello Arrin :welcome: to RepGeek

Tervetuloa Repgeekiin Arrin! ;) Upea Speedmaster!

Täällä on todella ystävällistä ja asiantuntevaa porukkaa; ja rahaa muuten menee.. :D

Thanks everyone, really enjoying the board! After all that Speedy love I might have to rethink getting rid of it!

@ rocky: Kiitos, on erittäin mukavan oloista porukkaa. Ja rahanmenemistä ei taida enää voida välttää. Tänään kolahti Fiddy postiluukusta ja silti kokoajan haluaisi ostaa lisää, eikä forumin lukeminen ainakaan auta asiaa.

Here's the first impression wristie of the Fiddy as promised! Poor lighting, will take better pictures at a better time.

Welcome Arrin, I do not meet many Finns in the UK, you are most welcome. Why did you move here? The cheap booze? Fantastic climate? The Brunettes? The relaxed dress-code? (I've spent a fair amount of time in Finland over the years - I remember millions of trees, millions of lakes and unbelievably expensive wine).

Enjoy your stay!
Love the RADO

Hi Arrin - from one newbie to another....welcome.
I too am very much....well to date....a gen collector, now with around 40 in the collection, from Breitlings to Botta's and Atomics to vibralarms....but now looking at the amzing world of rep!

Have fun...

Thanks everyone!

Mitton, I've definitely gotten to "appreciate" all of the suggestions you made. But no, I'm in the UK to finish my degree and probably moving back to amongst the trees and lakes after that. You're definitely right about the wine though!

Enjoy your stay, you are very welcome. I've always really like the Finns in my business life, what you see is what you get (even with the Swedish Finns - you will know what I mean) :shh:
