I can see I'm a rarity here...

I’ve been lurking here for a few days. I just received a banner suggesting I post something here.

After reading the FAQs I can see I’m a rarity here… I’m looking for the best Sub. I’m really liking the DSSD v5. I’m still trying to figure out what the various offerings are from the various retailers. Of course, I’d like a Panerai, Omega, IWC…. I’m super stoked to find this site. I’m embarrassed to admit I was strongly considering buying a “Swiss made” Sub rep for like $7xx (yes, I've read the top 10 lies). Good Lord.

I’ve spent 4-6 hours here already, and, of course, that’s just scratching the surface.

Thanks, everyone, for all your posts. I’ve already learned a ton.

Also, on a tangent someone here has “The Nightfly” as an avatar. I’m a huge ‘Dan and Fagen fan.

I just picked up a used Invicta 4469 (Sub homage, Swiss made, sapphire, Stellita SW 200, decent band) a few days before I found this site. I’m debating about keeping it now.

I’m working on a Horn Dog barley wine right now. So, I’ll have to wrap things up.

welcome, and there are plenty here who have rolex understanding that can help you out.

Welcome to RepGeek.

Welcome to the addiction! That wine will come in handy!

yes...in vino veritas....:)

welcome! you will find that sub, i am sure.. and then it will be on to omega, breittling, panerai...

welcome...

if you were considering spending $700+ on a all singing all dancing sub such as the ones bluefakes.com sells... then I recommend you buy something that is 1000% better a BK Sub http://repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=88290

or if you want the DSSD, go with a eurotimez.com v5 then send to Vac for a relume and to seal the HEV.

Use the search function and any and all questions you have will be answered there!

enjoy the learning curve, its steep, but fun, and no one here shouts... much!

One of the top runners is the eurotimez.com V5. I was considering reluming myself... I'm thrifty.

Thanks for the input.

I'd strongly recommend practicing before potentially destoying a $400 watch:)

Stay away while drinking. I've been shocked at the sh!t that arrives from China after a night in the bottle.

Welcome

Mudcat - you hit the nail on the head with that comment. Yikes! - have I been surprised before after a few martini's. Drinking and watching timezone should be against the law!

But the instructions make it seem so simple. Just kidding. Definitely a good idea to practice first.

Do you have a rep blackbelt. ;) Welcome to the Geek.

Welcome

Always good advice. No buying after drinking. There are other things that are not best done after drinking, while some things seem to just fall off, I mean fall into place.

Well, I have several leather belts. Most are reversable with brown on one side and black on the other. Does that count?

Welcome and do practice, practice, practice with cheap stuff before trying it on any super reps.

You're going to love this place...I came looking for the best sub and I haven't bought one yet. Instead I ended up with a slew of other watches including a Yachmaster which is way more awesome IMO. Also, checkout Panerai...they are so wicked retarded

Welcome..and do some reading before buying a DSSD V5...it really has all sorts of problems as many posts talk about here.

About the best one out now is Josh's DSSD...but get the Swiss movement, not the clone 3135.

Anyway, there is a lot just to learn about that one particulary rep...so get to it.

Welcome. Please read all the dealer sticky sections. Some of them require exact ordering procedures. Please use EMS shipping so you can track your order. Research the seller & then the watch.
