HI all!

I just joined RG and have already spent about 3 hours looking at posts, pictures and rep dealer items. Wow, what a great forum!

We just went through hurricane Ike, not much damage (downed fences, neighbor's tree took out one fence - broke it into 5 sections, 48 hrs without power)... but cleanup is continuing.

I will add that the watches which I like are:

Omega Speedmaster Auto Chrono (this gen I have)
Panerai 127E (DSN inquiry sent for his Fiddy)
PP Geneve tank (Andrew inquiry sent)
Bell & Ross 01-92
Chopard Mille Miglia in grey

Thanks!

Welcome David and enjoy RepGeek!

Happy to read you enjoy the forum -we work hard here keeping it fun!

All the reps have to come from the FE, so there are no "stateside" sources per say, but check in the dealers section here and also look in VIP member sales, often you can find some excellent, modded, reps there.

Good to have you aboard and let us know of we can help!

Cheers!!

Thanks, just interested in trying on some retail watches, to get an idea of size and weight of various models. My wrist is not too large... about 7" in diameter. [EDIT: found 2 official retail spots so will visit them tomorrow to sniff around...]

Thanks for the welcomes! Oh, and I do get the impression the film '300' is a favorite of many here.

Just order the Chopard MM from Ruby... she replied overnight, so Im pleased!

She was out of the Fiddy, and so was DSN, but hopefully the right one will come along (and at a price under the wife's radar!).

[EDIT - Ordered Fiddy from another dealer on RW forum. Don't have a name yet... but trusted there, it seems.]
