Thanks guys. Those Eddie VH pics make me (somewhat) miss my youth!

I saw 'em live in ~ '84(?) That was a loooong time ago. I believe I wore a phony President to that show, and snuck a three-pack of JD airplane bottles in via my slip-on, checkerboard Vans.

I will admit, I've already got the bug for these reps. I knew the day would come that we'd see quality like this.

I used to dig through every fake rollie in the flea market in my teens, looking for the kind of stuff we are only now beginning to see. The old, Mexican dude who sold those ticking, absurd replicas would get red in the face when I inevitably told him, "No sale today." (Though, once I did buy a nifty Seadweller from him that looked darn real from about 3 yards away...lol.)

In my personal opinion, the only thing sillier than those old, "b-grade" reps was the guy who bought the first genuine Oysterquartz. But without them, life would just be boring.
