Hi from another Newbie

Hi all, similar story, I was also on the brink of ordering a rep from a website I wouldn't touch with a bargepole now. Thankfully I found this fantastic site and I'm talking to UK Watches who I hope to do business with and Precious Time for a possible Omega. I'm based in the UK so I've contacted my local guys!!

This site is just fantastic - a credit to the admins/mods and all the members. I feel welcome already and I'm constantly impressed by the enthusiasm shown in here. I'm learning loads and constantly broadening my watch and rep knowledge. And to think I almost took a punt on a watch from a website rhyming with 'he pay'.

A couple of quick questions. Do UK buyers generally experience customs problems if buying from Asia or the US? And does anyone know if paying by credit card is wise with UK laws. For example am I breaking any laws?

Now there's only one other problem.....deciding which watches I want!!!!

Thanks for letting me join in the fun and I look forward to posting some pics of my buys!

rich :)

Rich,

great intro mate. Good to see you and pleased to read you enjoy the forum. The members here are top notch! Stay away from Flea Bay and IOffer ****e also - you found some great dealers here to work with.

My advice would be to talk w your dealer specifically for the best post options. They have been shipping all over and in your case, many are shipping right from your back yard. UK Watches, Narikaa - all great to purchase from.

See you in the threads and of course .... Welcome to RepGeek!

Welcome,always wonder how people come up with these odd screenames....after hours of pondering the best i could come up was dave123.....pumpkin muncher,why didn't i think of that?...;)

lol. The honest truth is that I got so pi55ed off trying to get a name that wasn't used I picked the most obscure thing I could think of! I kind of like it now, it's grown on me!!! :D :D

You can call me rich though - it's easier!

Thanks for your kind comments guys.

Thanks Niko ;)

Mr Pumpkin Muncher,

Welcome to the forum. I feel like I need to be very formal with that name. :D

Gald you have found us and you avoiced buying from that site. UK and PT are two great people to work with. It is a higher risk for customers if ordering from out of the EU, but not possible.

rich, I think your sn hails from another source but I dont wanna go there....welcome

just call him pump, no need to be formal
welcome pump, speak to you soon
regards
John

Howdy Rich and >>>>>>>>>>>>>> :welcome:

Rich, AKA Pumkin Pumper,

Glad you made it here.

Can I call ya TPM?...

Hiya TPM, and welcome :D I hope you'd get a better idea which rep you want from the posts here and when you finally got the watch, pls do us a favor ;)... POST 'EM PICS!!! :D

Welcome Rich. lol Sy mr Pumpkin Muncher, sounds like a character from Pulp Fiction...

Howdy Punkin Munch. :welcome:

brove

Ummm... Welcome :)

Thanks all for your welcomes - I feel like part of the family already :D I am starting to worry about the origins of my screen name though. Now you mention it, pumpkin munching sounds like it could have some unpleasant sexual connotations! :eek:

Looking to make my first purchase(s) shortly with the help of UK Watches:)

By the way, is there a nickname for watch geeks, (other than watch geek obviously) I'm thinking like car fanatics get called petrol heads?

Cheers all.

rich aka the_pumpkin_muncher aka pump aka TPM etc etc

how 'bout "time bandits"...lol

Bienvenido! welcome bro,

welcome to RG muncher
