Hello All,
Thanks for accepting my request to be part of the forum. I am getting back in the watch collecting game after a bit of hiatus. I recall buying a few rep from one "Paul" 7/8 years ago.
Looking forward to connecting with the community and finding a few reliable dealers to itch the scratch again.
Ciao.
BTW, how Do I see the hidden content? I see many links in signatures hidden from me...
Wellcome!!!
Welcome! I think I remember a dealer whose name was Paul. He and another chap were possibly the only two guys who sourced MBW watches, if that sounds familiar.

Yes sir! That's him. I mostly bought the cheapo reps at the time other than a couple of subs and an Aqua Terra.Quote:

2005 sounds possible, but he definitely didn’t sell inexpensive reps. Paul dealt with expensive, high-end reps years ago. AP Royal Oaks, Offshores and vintage Rolex before they were produced by the usual suspects. I probably paid $450 for an MBW Royal Oak circa 2008/9. Very high prices for that time. Probably a different guy.
You’ve been in the sport for a long time :)

It was aBay Paul - I believe he was one of the first to create a website with prices listed, it changed the game. Before that you dealt with dealers strictly through PM.
Sounds right. That's the same Paul. Wonder where he is now.Quote:

Welcome to the forum. Join the party :-)
Thank you @Fan_rwg . Slowly starting to get a hang of the game.
