Howdy, and I already have a question!

[joebagodonuts]

Howdy from Colorado, U.S.A!

I've been lurking for a month or so and even bought a few watches already. I'm hooked!

I love all the information, but I need some help with the Search function.

I can't figure out how to make the Search function include all words, i.e. all words have to be found for a "hit." I've tried adding a + in front of each word, but that doesn't do it.

I noticed that the F.A.Q. Search function has an option in a drop-down box, to include all words, but I can't find it in the normal/advanced search function.

Thanks again for all the great info...and any help with the Search function would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome Joe.

Which watches have you brought?

Hopefully Sylar or Inferno can give you some tips on the search function.

I got started when my wife let me buy a gen 1956 Omega Seamaster (matches my birth year) for my birthday! I started researching to try to determine whether I was buying a gen, or "fake." Now I know to call it a "rep."

Due to my screwup (I forgot to cancel an eSnipe bid after winning the first watch), I ended up with two 1956 Omegas, a Seamaster and a Constellation; both beautiful.

During my research, I discovered the many rep sites on the internet, but didn't trust them. I finally stumbled across this site, as well as RWG.

I'm addicted! My collection now includes:

-The two gen Omegas
-42mm Omega P.O. rep orange bezel(2nd generation)
-Gen Tissot T-Touch Expert
-Omega SMP Chrono rep
-TAG Link rep and Rolex DateJust rep for my wife

On Order:

-BK WM9 V2 Sub
-45mm Omega P.O. rep (not UPO)
-Cheap GMT MasterII vintage bezel rep
-Panerai 111h rep

Some of the above are planned as Christmas Gifts, but I'm trying to start a great collection before my wife catches on...

See you also joined the VIP area joebagodonuts, welcome and to make it easier 20 K geebux for you as well from me and SFA.

Thanks for the welcome, and the donation of Geekbux...you guys are awesome!

Now I have to find out what Geekbux are...

Enclose the search in quotations and that will give you the best results. However we have a very not so friendly search engine. Im hoping to have this corrected very soon.

Geekbux can be used for raffles and in the casino.

Thanks again ONZENUUB. I hadn't even noticed the casino link. Just tried it with a $10 Blackjack bet and won. Looks like I'll need to win another hundred thousand $10 hands or so to catch you!

We kinda left the keys on the counter for a few minutes and onzenuub helped himself.....

That's just wrong! I am not sure I have ever one a hand in this casino, it just likes to eat my geekbux. Maybe you have the touch joe.

Good thought BTW about collecting before the wife catches on, but then trying to explain where all those watches came from becomes the problem... so you can now tell here you won them playing poker in the casio

That's why I got her the TAG and Rolex. When she see's them at Christmas (and yes, I'm barely smart enough to let her know they aren't real), I'm hoping she'll have a better appreciation for my new hobby!

This brings up another question. On average, what do you guys think should be the ratio of reps for me to reps for her?
