Hi from OZ and a big thank you

Looks like you are all stuck with another Australian member!! Please hang in there and I'll tell you how I ended up here..

I've always been a closet watch geek but have never really done much about it. Own a few nice Jap watches but always wanted something better, however a $15K Rollie was not an option :) What finally kicked me off was a post on a car forum that I belong to with a guy bragging about his Seamaster that he paid a squillion bucks for... I liked the watch but not the price so I started looking around. As most noobs do, I soon found a thousand places that would sell me a Rolex for bugger all. It all looked too good to be true, so I hunted around for independent advice. After nearly falling for a couple of scam review sites I ended up here!

Yesterday I ordered a UPO from Andrew and am eagerly awaiting its arrival. I should also mention that before I ordered, I bombarded him with several question emails and every one was answered within an hour. If his watches are anywhere near his customer service then I'm on a winner!!

My biggest problem is now I have the disease... I've bookmarked at least 10 watches that I MUST own!! I'll end up divorced (again) if I buy all 10 but if I don't get at least an Explorer II and an Aquaracer life won't be worth living.... It's all your fault By-Tor :cheesy:

See you in the forums
John.

G'Day John and :welcome: from http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a360/ZEDR2/Canada.gif

Hi John,


Welcome to the forum and happy to read you found us, and saved a small fortune. ;)

Good helpful group here, feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Cheers and again, Welcome.

John, welcome man. Glad you did not fall to those high price swiss AAA sites.

Ask us any questions you may have and look forward to seeing your Omeega.

Welcome...
It will only get worse for a month or two, and they you will stop needing to have EVERY watch. There is something about sticking it to the man and getting the same look for 1/10th the price...
I almost feel like I'm cheating ;)
Have a good time cruising around, hopefully you have some sick days you can take while you stay on RG too late.
--From My iPhone--

Welcome :)

Welcome my friend~ ;)

Thanks for the warm welcome. I've found a home! :)

Welcome to the greatest watch forum on the planet. You can spend hrs on this forum educating yourself as I do... There are so many great people here ready to help you with your next selection, or advice on how to mod what you already have. Good luck, and jump in on the Raffle...

I think River still has some white faced Exp IIs with the correct stack. Unfortunately he doesn't have any black ones left :( which is what I was after..

G'day mate!!
