Hi all,

As the title states, I’ve been casually observing for the past several years and figured I’d better get in here.

I’ve made many rep purchases in the past and even have been dabbling in builds lately. My main reason for starting down the rep road was initially to ‘try’ a Sub and see if it was for me. This was ages ago and needless to say that thing only ran for about a month, but it served it’s purpose. Once I’d save enough I bought a genuine 16610 and was happy I got to ‘test drive’ that rep before committing.

I’ve currently got several nicer reps of Subs and Omegas, as well as a couple Marina Militares, and probably too many genuines (at least my wife thinks so!). Thought I’d share my latest build. I don’t know specifics on the case, but dial is allegedly a refinished genuine 5513 (had to remove the feet and use dial dots to install), bezel insert has been bleach patina’d, and case, bracelet aged as well. Running DG2813 movement and that thing is pretty darn accurate! Anyway, happy to be here and look forward to some great interaction!

Thanks! After all the time I’ve spent poking around I figured I owed it to myself if nothing else. Ha! Looking forward to having some great discussions with this group!
