Hello I'm ByNico, and I'm a watch addicted

Hello RepGeek !

It is with real modesty that I would like to introduce myself to this great community.
I have been reading most of the posts since I discovered this forum one month ago, and today, as I have some unanswered questions, I thought it was time to say hello

As a brief history of how I had to google to find some info about reps, everything begun 2 month ago during some vacation in Tunisia. On a market, I bought my first .. hmmm .. lets call it rep even if there is no gen of this one :

Yes, some will surely shout loud that is the result of some frankenstein mix of an Omega Aquaterra and some sort of Rolex Daytona... But I found it nice to look, it keeps good time and it cost me only $20 ...

Then, I was googling to find some leather strap for it and found ioffer services... where I bought this fine PAM111H rep, and it should be in my mailbox tomorrow:

Yes, it might not be the ultimate one, but as soon as I get it I will surely make some review of it and take my own photos

I'm quite proud of this one as it is my first real rep.

As many already told, I think I became some sort of "watcholic", because since I found this community some other reps are growing on me...
But that is gonna be for some other posts

Thank you & big up to Repgeek community from France !

hi Nico - good to see you decided to post.

Join the fun and make yourself at home. Many fellow RepGeeks from France actually, so next time you are out and about and notice a nice watch, be sure to give the RepGeek nod.

to RepGeek !!

Thanks you all for your warm welcomes !
I received my PAM111H and will take some pictures of it to post them. I'm quite impressed by this one. I only payed $150 for it thru ioffer, and it has lots of details of a much expensive one (long canon pinion, swan neck, correct 111H decors on movement, good lume...)
Next step... hmmm a BR01-92 black PVD with correct caseback (screws & serial num engraved as 92 not as 94) and an IWC 3717-01. Even if I also look at an UPO, an Explorer I, and a PAM253.
Oh boy, my credit card will smell like a burned tyre in the next days ...
