Hi there from the UK - My collection so far ( Pic Heavy )

[trussart66]

Hello all
Just thought i'd drop in to say Hi, i'm from the uk and have been collecting Reps since march and have a few gens. Love all the std reps but have been getting interested in the vintage build world recently ( which i fear may be my undoing )
Looking forward to spending a bit of time here learning -Any pointers in the right direction as regards to vintage builds would be most welcome.

Cheers

Jez.

Anyway here is my collection so far hope you enjoy the pictures :

Nice collection you have there. Where did you get the vintage SD from and has it had any mods?

[Maccaz]

Great collection, good to see from a fellow UK Geek.

Fancy sending me that 6263? I am searching for one but with the current customs issues we are having I am cautious. Where did you source that model?

[Davr]

That's a great collection. Really like your ikepod there is a vintage section! Welcome to the madness

It came from watch international TD over on RWG - No mods as yet but i bought it to get it modded !!

Hey Maccaz -This one came from Watch international also - it made it through customs along with an AP Diver on the 16th August - i don't think rolex and AP are subject to the TM Eye seizures as they are not clients. Quite a few people have had packages opened and Lvmh or richemont brands seized whilst AP's and Rolex in the same package have been let through. Probably best not to be too complacent about this though.

Thanks Trussart66, what do you think of the 6263, a good rep overall, like I said I am in the market for one at moment and cannot decide on which model.

[Mikey2008]

nice collection and your 18pc watch box looks fab.

*stay away from the 'Hublot' and 'Other Watch Brands' section, else you'll end up with a JLC NSD and a few big bangs.

thanks for posting pics, you got some gems there

[trussart66]

Cheers boys

@maccaz - yes its a nice rep, i'm no expert on this watch and obviously has a different feel to some of the top end modern reps. Also remember that this is quite a small watch [ 37mm] but still manages to have a presence on the wrist. Overall - NICE !!

Re the hublots - too late its probably going to happen !! [ definitely the Big diver ]

On the way : TC LV sub with maxi dial and gen black insert, Vintage build Pam 6154, Mini 47mm pam egi ( ferric chloride treated )

Also aiming to fill in with choppard , patek nautilus , A Lange & Sonne datograph, AP Black themes, AP Pride of Argentina [ if it ever happens ]

[tatersalad]

Lovely collection trussart, nice watch box with wide bays also. You're very neat, much neater than me

[lemmewatch]

Nice collection!
With a special mention to the Panda Daytona and the Luminor Regatta (do they have working chronos BTW?) !

[Heloperator]

Awesome collection, love that box!

[toddy2]

Wow great collection, welcome my fellow Brit!
By the way, what strap is on the Pam 253 looks great, and where did you get that Black Seal Slytech looks awesome!
