Newb from Virginia

Hello All!

I recently bought a rep Cartier Santos 100 XL. Been wearing it since the day I got it and getting many comments and compliments. A few weeks ago the latch on the band became loose and while trying to fix it watched one of those miniscule screws dissapear into the abyss of my carpet. Nooooooooooooooo!!!!

In my search for a new band.....or a new watch, I found repgeek.

I have soooooo much to learn (and this looks like a great place to do it), so I will keep my mouth shut and read in order to not show my ignorance.

Welcome to RG, Scott...
Don't have to keep your mouth shut--- Ignorance is ok and asking questions is a fine way to learn :)

welcome dudee! glad to have another noob on board ;P
anyhoo, you should check out some of the reviews here... especially By-Tor's. Also check out the member sales section, you can often find some great deals! If you are looking for new watches, may i suggest a few:
UPO (omega planet ocean)
SOH (Breitling Superocean Heritage)
Panerai 111H/E; 183/232 Radiomir; 195 PVD
Hubolt Big Bang (many versions)
IWC Portugese (my favorite - the "panda")

goodluck!!!

Scott.
Welcome aboard.. Ask all the ?s you can. It speeds up the process
and seperates you from your wallet buying more watches then you will ever wear... Then you'll have a whole new relationship with your wife! :)

Cheers!

Hey Scott,

WELCOME!!! This place is fun and I find myself visiting RG more often than my other hobbie sites. You probably don't want to hear this , but I had a Cartier Santos 100XL clasp for sale a week ago for $5 and it took several days before someone finally snagged it- AND I live in the commonwealth (NoVA)! Whereabouts are you?
