From the UK...my life story- now available in paperback from all good book stores
How did I arrive here, well not by taxi...I arrived at repgeek after being scammed by Exact Replicas, who, after promising to send me the best replica I could ever lay my eyes on, sent me a bag of junk that my dog refused to wear. Basically a street watch worth around $20 sold to me for a tad short of $200 (inc shipping)...
My only regret is that I wish I had come here sooner not just for the $200 I would have saved but for the excellent advice and information. So what has repgeek done for me... well, I have placed my first order with Josh which has now arrived see images and link http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=40088 I am delighted with this purchase, it arrived today.
I was also converted...no religious experience, but I did enter repgeek not liking or understanding why people liked the Panerai so much.... and then I saw the light... in other words I had to have one, so much so, I have now ordered my first Panerai with Swan Neck and Dagger (something else I learned here).
Before I forget I am based in the UK go under the forum name nightwatch or Simon Cowell, if any of you can sing or dance them let me know so that I can audition you...
