Hello everyone

New to the scene here. Have been mostly in the Pam homage scene, but have recently gotten interested in reps for higher quality pieces.

Currently own a Pam 111 Ti homage from Jackson Tse on a Panatime strap. It was my first piece and it's currently about 7 months old. Has been a daily beater and has kept nearly perfect time since I've owned it. Flimsy crownguard, and a recessed canon pin, but still a nice watch.

Just ordered a Getat piece -- a 112h homage in polished steel, superlumed, proper canon pin, sapphire crystal on one of his new bands that everyone seems to be happy with. He's also putting the Seagull ST36 movement in it for me, as I have been very happy with that movement in my 111.

I also own a IWC Fa Jones rep from Andrew @ Trustytime, it is AR coated sapphire with a Panatime black crock strap w/ white stitch. It's a nice piece, but is very dressy and does not get much wrist time. It's also gaining about 20 seconds a day. Guess I am just a Pam guy!

I'd love to own a real Pam, and can afford one, but simply cannot justify spending the 3000+ required to buy one. I could buy an awful lot of rocks and fossils for 3000 ( I am a geologist ). I suppose higher quality homages and reps are good enough for me.

I'd like to get into doing my own watch repair and customization, and perhaps becoming proficient enough to drop vintage movements into Pam cases.

My next watch will be a proper fiddy. I thought 44mm would be almost too big, but it is just right! I have the same hesitation about 47, but I'll take the plunge soon.

Thanks for reading guys.
