I'd like to read some of the members experiences when they first received their very first REP.

Did you start modding immediately, cleaning the watch, inspected everytbjng, or just simply wore it?

First thing? I guess everybody opens the package(laughter)

Check it carefully and enjoy it.

Admire it, tighten all screws, take photos, then wear it.
For Panerai: Admire it, change strap, take photos, then wear it.

I tried to set the time, and got concerned/annoyed that the crown wouldn’t even pull out - so I messaged the RG member I bought it from to tell them about the faulty watch they’d sold me.

They replied that Submariners have this thing called a screw-down crown that you have to unscrew before the crown can be pulled out.

Opened the package, admired it, took pictures to commemorate the moment, tried it on, removed a link and enjoyed it.

Nearer than you think
Open the box, remove all the annoying plastic and glue/gunk residue from the factory, size the bracelet, think about a place where to put the spare links, and then wear it while taking a lot of pics

Upon receiving my first Panerai rep, I sold all my gens!


I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs,
Blown up for Raquel Welch.

No weird stuff about rep watches, but when I saw my first daytona back in the 00's I laughed and said to the owner that the watch doesn't run. The second hand is frozen. Then he explained that seconds on chronograph watches are on the subdials. :)
