Time to Start Posting

**rc42** · 12-20-2007, 05:23 PM

Hello fellow collectors and addicts,

I joined here some time ago but have just been stopping by every now and again to have a read and do some searching for the reps that I was planning to buy. I did the same at several other forums but spent most time over at RWG1 as it was the first forum that I found and saved me from being scammed. (I even remember being welcomed by Zed on my first day over there).

Unfortunately, despite the presence of some great guys (many of whom post here too) that forum has recently taken a big turn for the worse with bickering and posting of pointless smileys (I suspect you know what I mean).

So here I am looking for a new forum to hang out at to chat about watches, make some friends and have a laugh. I have about 12 reps in my collection at the moment but have no recent pics so I'm planning to get the camera out soon and get some good ones to share.

So its Hello from me and Merry Christmas to you all.

Well Welcome, glad you broke the ice...You've come to the right place that's for sure and no one here bites....except Luman....

Make yourself at home, don't be a stranger.

Merry Christmas!

Glad to hear that my friend!

I know it's a little late but Welcome to the forum mate~

Welcome RC42, no bickering here. Just pure rep bliss.

Welcome

I usually insert a smiley but will avoid it out of respect to your post

**rc42** · 12-20-2007, 07:12 PM

Thanks Xyphis, I've been driven smiley-mad over the last couple of weeks but I'm calming down again now and looking forward to some polite discussion (with the occasional cutting comment or insult for those that deserve it, I hope).

Looking forward to working out which rep I can't possibly manage without next.

Thanks Zed, that smiley left a warm fuzzy feeling, just as it should!

I'm hoping to get my camera out later and update my picture collection to include my latest reps so that I can share my humble collection. I'm assuming that most people here enjoy looking at 'pictures on the internet' as much as I do.

I need to keep posting to build up geekbux (whatever they are used for), here's a taster of things to come, the top tray of my watchbox. I know that I need to do some work with the camera settings and lighting but this is just a quick one for now. I'll get some good wrist shots of these and let you all know what I think of them and what they're like to wear.

They are, back row, left to right:
Rolex LV sub (from Andrew)
Rolex FG sub (from Joshua, currently with TT bracelet but planning to replace with leather from bebenn)
Rolex Sea-Dweller (Joshua's previous 'Perfect' from a few months ago)
Panerai (from Narikaa but upgraded with bracelet from Silix)
Vacheron Constantin Overseas (with double AR from Silix, my favourite rep)

Front row, left to right:
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak (from Joshua)
Hublot Big Bang (from King)
Breitling Bentley 30's full gold (from Joshua)
Breitling Seawolf Avenger titanium (from Joshua)
Breitling Superocean Steelfish (with double AR, from Joshua)
