Just wanted to say Hi.

[Jackjo]

Been hanging around long enough and I figured I better get involved. I have been into Replica and Gen watches for quite a long time. Found this and a few other sites very informative. I have been doing some simple repair and modifying work for a while. Learned quite a bit online from many of the members. All the rest I learned by screwing things up. I have quite a large collection of parts and watch carcasses that have accumulated from mistakes.

Glad to be a member.

Hello Jackjo... glad to see you here... i am just dying to see your collections...

Thank You for the welcome.

Here was my genuine collection.

In the order that I acquired them.

Omega SMP 2531.80 Bond
Traded for an Omega SMP 2254.50 Black SMP
Then bought a Breitling Steelfish X-Plus Blue Dial
Sold 2254 to get an Omega 2201.50 Planet Ocean Black Dial
Sold all and bought Rolex Z Series Sea Dweller 16600

Changed jobs had fourth child Sold Rolex to feed kids.

No gens now starting to build Rep collection.

I have owned and sold a about a dozen reps since my current collection.

Here is what I have currently

Pam 183G - Swiss movement but no swan neck reg.

Pam 176 - This is a really nice watch with Swan Neck. Needs some mods though(Actually am sending this one back to factory because of problems) Am sort of looking for a 177 possibly with some mods to replace it.

Pam 187 - Not the nicer one. This one I picked up really cheap because it was broke and ended up fixing it and trading it.

Omega 4th gen PO Black - This watch is very impressive except for the gap in bracelet and the short hands. I used to own the gen.

Breitling Steelfish Asian white dial - Pretty good case and ok bracelet but the dial markers are very sloppy. (Have cleaned them up some)I have owned the Gen and it is tought o compare them. Breitling Gen dials are fantastic.

Breitling Sea Wolf Old style just bought used from my dealer. Really like this watch. All it needs is a dial and maybe a better clasp.

On the way:
Omega SMP Bond
Rolex Sub not sure if I am getting the Noob or Begin. We will see.

Wishlist:
Pam 177 possibly with mods
Breitling Blackbird
Breitling Navitimer of some variety
Rolex SD when they get the new version cleaned up
Omega UPO Orange Bezel or Black with Gen strap. Asian would be fine.
More Subs of different variations maybe a no date or vintage.
A better sub than the one I have on order even though I have not seen it yet. I am just assuming that I will not be happy with it.

By the way who has the best one?



Kidding.
