    Default New here, but not to the scene...

    Hello everyone,

    Just thought I would introduce myself here at RepGeek. I am active over at RWG, but find both sites valuable resources.

    Here is my story:
    The year was 1986, I was in high school. I had a friend who's parents made frequent trips to Hong Kong. Well, as fate would have it, my friend was kind enough to hook me up with my first SUB rep.

    Mind you it was '86, and this turned out to be a "Quartz" rep. None the less, to a high school kid in a mid-west suburb where the only Rolex most people ever saw was on James Bond-- it proved fun, and even a hit with aspiring girls ;-). Funny thing is, I wore this watch almost every day between 1986 and 1990, and it still runs today! However, I would not be caught out in public with it, it is more a sentimental, historical piece for me now.

    My first rep in '86 (23yrs old, quartz still works)

    <!--coloro:#8B0000--><!--/coloro-->
    Since then my collection has grown:
    "Venice Beach" Submariner (1995 Sub with a glass back) I was still a noob back then.
    GMT Master II
    Daytona
    6358 Bond Sub
    Fantasy Breit Navitimer
    TT Breit Navitimer
    Breit SOH "Ultimate ed"
    Breit BlackSteel SA "Ultimate ed V2"
    WM9 Sub (on its way)
    WM9 SD (pre-ordered)
    PAM 222 (wife wears this)
    Cartier Roadster Ladies (wife's)

    Welcome to the forum Ronin.

    Thanks for sharing your story. That is not a bad looking sub for 1986!

    Greetings, and thanks for sharing that story. Man, I would have killed for a replica sub quartz in 1986. I was in grade 11!

    Nah, he just likes to remind us from time to time that's he's just a kid

    I WISH my first crappy Rolex rep was still running -- it broke after a few months and I threw it away (regrettably).

    Thanks for sharing your story and pic. And welcome to RepGeek.. topics flying and dying left and right here; always something of interest.
