Hi. Newbie just about to purchase.

Hi everyone.

I have been into watches for a couple of years now. Although I don't have a collection , I have always wanted one ! The only 'real' watch I have is a gen IWC 3706.

I have always wondered about reps but could never seem to find where to get a good example. I didn't know there was such a large dedicated rep community and that the watches were of such a high standard.

Anyway I'm not sure it's a good thing to find these sites as I have no self control !

I just want one of everything !

I have managed to narrow down a few . A "cousteau divers", IWC 3717 and a Bell & Ross 42mm PVD .

I have got a price from Pecious Time and will make the purchase in a day or two.

Thanks

Welcome too the forum mate! The gen IWC you got is a very nice watch! The cousteau is a nice choice too

Kind regards

If you do end up getting the B&R go for the 46mm...
42mm will start to feel small after a while, people seem to be selling them in order to get the big guy....
Oh and welcome!

Welcome................go with the B&R 46mm

but the IWC Cousteau is a great watch

tough choice

Yeah! We are going to take over, force the dealers to sell to us in Aussie dollars rather than US dollars and everyone will save 15% as 1AU Dollar = 85cents US

Sounds good to me!
