Just wondering if any other women are on here? It's a little intimidating posting on some of this,(since it seems to be mostly men) and was just looking for some guidance. I have been lurking for a long time and finally joined. I am in the process of trying to order from Ryan.
Here's another woman... welcome! I found your post by searching for the same thing - LOL!
I'm not sure that they know I'm a female, but my username was chosen to be a giveaway.... most of the responses to my posts have been very helpful, and I have been really pleased with the assistance I have gotten from forum members.
I have always been a watch girl (and car girl too - my first car was a '68 Triumph TR-250) ever since I was little... and I always hated the dinky watches that girls back then were offered. For the most part they were only offered in shades of pink, were stupid or cartoon-looking and I could never read the dial cuz it was so little. Then I fell in love with a 70's diver's watch one of the boys at the local pool had (he was a jerk, but the watch was cool), but no girls wore them back then.
Then in the 80's things changed. I saved up for a yellow mid-sized Tag Heuer Formula 1 - the one with the plastic bezel - it was expensive for me, but I LOVED it - it was big and colorful, had the movable bezel, etc! I still have it, and now about 8 others of the same - all different colors (but no pink!), some on jubilee bracelets, some not.
Now I am older and make a good living, but can't justify spending 9K on a watch. I found this forum and have been thrilled, it's my chance to finally get a Rolex Submariner Hulk (the green one!) without spending big $$$$.
I have two versions on order, one from Angus at Puretime, and one from Ryan at Intime. I paid for both with a VISA CC and things went very smoothly. Both TDs and their staff have been very responsive to questions, and I am waiting anxiously for the QC photos! I am SO glad to have found this forum, because before I came across it, I came soooo close to buying a watch from a seller online called "noobfactory" or something like that, and he was NOT a Trusted Dealer - I would have been scammed!
Prolly more that you wanted to know, but oh well.
These guys on here know their &%$* and I am grateful to have found them - so when I see memes of lions licking their balls I just do a rolleyes and move on... LOL
