Cheers from California

I've been interested in reps for years, but didn't act on that until this past October when I picked up a surprisingly decent Sub C on Canal Street in NYC. I may have paid a little more than I should have, but it launched me on a trajectory of research and GAS. That original rep is likely a noob case, with a movement that's being swapped for a locally sourced Swiss ETA. The current collection includes the aforementioned Sub C, a PAM 111N from BK, a new version 45.5 UPO from toro bravo, a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony from a guy at RWI, a DSSD en route from another member sale, and a Sub C that arrived today from WBK. That one will ned up as an XMas present for a family member. I'm also on the list one of Angus' new Explorer II with Swiss movement, in white. Next will be some kind of high end IWC. Perhaps one of the new Mark XVI's that just were released.

Anyways,

Cheers,

Cooper

Here's that first Canal Street Sub C, before:

and after with a replacement pearl - the first one was lost after stuffing baggage into an overhead on a cross country flight:

My PAM 111N Noob V3 from BK, now I need a snazzier strap:

Don't have a better a shot of the Vacheron, it's in the shop for a clean and tune. But here's the UPO 45.5:
