My story of how I got here from Hungary

**HagaNRG** · 06-14-2008, 02:52 PM

So is there anyone who could serve quite to me OK quality Tag Aquaracer (rubber os ss strap) or PAM 111 or 112 only with rubber strap?

At first, I rather prefer a dealer from the EU, and have max 150$ for a watch.
Thanks so much!

HagaNRG Batman did you find a EU dealer???

Szia!

Eddig senkit. (illetve there are some EU dealers here of course, Narikaa, Thrustywatchguy, és PRecious Time asszem, de keresőbe is beírhatod, hogy EU dealer).
De órám még nincs.

I'm going to travel to Uk for 3 months, I hope, I will not come home without a nice Aquaracer, F1, or PAM.

so the doctor prescribed you a watch? I need to seek a new practice!

Just curious... what was the first rep watch purchase?

Dave,
Three cases of that stuff a week? Sounds like you need to discover home brew or craft beer. Try a Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA... 9% alcohol. I consider it a diet beer because I only drink one or ...
three. Problem is that its $10 a four pack.

first rep purchase?

got a Breitling for Bentley fantasy from a friend and bought an Omega Seamaster orange for $70 from the same source, using them ever since, but would like something more serious of course, it's just that the financial crisis hit and our currency went deep sea diving..

since then I bought some ties, pens, and belt from Trev, pretty cool stuff for a reasonable price. just ordered some shirts off the guy, will see what they're like

anybody know some cool source in Hungary where I could actually see the REPS before buying?

Hey- welcome to the Hungarians!!!!!

I am 100% Hungarian... though born in Chicago and live in Southern IL, I have visited Hungary many times!!!

Please don't PM me anything in Magyar because I have the literacy of a 2 year old...

I thought Chicago was a Polish city - do people wear a lot of reps there?

Lots of Hungarians too.. more so on the Northside... Poles on the southside..

I don't know about the second part...

A funny thing though about watches and Hungarians... the only time I've seen someone wearing a gen Patek Phillipe was when I was was in Hungary once.. he was a business partner of my father at the time...

Vision , your's is a familiar story, which sounds great everytime it is told. I think most of us her had a round about experience untill we found this and other websites devoted to rep collectors. Enjoy the hobby. It is a blast!
