My first rep watch and it's a TC Sub!

Hello ladies and gentlemen!

First and foremost I would like to thank this forum for the tons of information that's available for a newbie like me who was on the hunt for a Rolex sub. I lurked around this forum probably for about two weeks contemplating choosing between BK and TC before I finally took the plunge and went with TC.

TBH, I am a female and knew nothing much about the sub or watches prior to this forum or forums (I was lurking in the other watch forums too), so there is nothing much I can offer in return but my purchase experience from TC.

I ordered the Caddell sub and made payment via bill pay on February 7th. Through previous threads that I'd read, I was aware that it is common and will normally take more than a month to receive the watch. I was well aware that patience would be required when I decided to purchase from TC, so I did not email him unless it was absolutely necessary.

Emails were mostly replied to in a timely manner, though there were a few occasions it took TC a few days (and one time, a week) to respond. He kept me informed when he was going to start working on my watch and apologized when there was a delay in his reply. Hence I was never worried I would get scammed and was assured I would receive my watch as promised.

The watch did not arrive in mid March as I expected. The package arrived on 19th April, which took longer than I had hoped but nevertheless, I was happy when it arrived. FYI, I LOVE MY WATCH! Thank you, TC! ;)

Pics to follow (please excuse my lousy pics as I took them with my iphone).

You picked the best sub to start off in this hobby. Heck one of the best reps in general. Welcome!

Thank u, Chris. It is addictive. But for now I am hanging out with the ladies in the rep bags forum. ;) Btw I tried to upload pics but I can't, and I have no idea why.

Hi and welcome and congrats on Your fantastic TC. Now that You have the best its thin air out there, but there is the Chanel J12 and the Ballon Bleu from Cartier, Tag Link and Cockpit... maybe something from Panerai to stay on that quality level.

Sorry guys, I've never uploaded pics via this way before so it took me awhile to figure that out!

Your first rep is a TC? Lol it's all downhill from here. Congrats on a fantastic purchase! I'm considering ordering the same one with cyclops.

Congrats Coco! That is one heck of a way to start of a watch collection. Most people in this hobby spend hundreds if not thousands on junk before they buy a TC. What's next on the list???:woohoo:

Wow. That's a lot of watches. I need to budget myself between rep bags and rep watches! :p I have yet to look at the Chanel J12 because I was more interested in the sub. The next on my list is a PAM. Yes, I know, you are not surprised. If I remember correctly, KW is the way to go for the PAM? I have not been here for a while. I'll need to find time to lurk around here more frequent to refresh my memory to do more reading, when I'm less obsessed with my new found love of rep bags.

Lol. Thanks to you guys who took the plunge and all your reviews. It makes it so much easier for me to decide who I wanna go to. I was really excited when I got the watch. It looks better than the pre-owned that I tried at the store! I would love to get a rep hulk, but only if there's a great one out there.

Great choice! I wish I didn't waste my money on budget reps when I first started

Very nice! And you went with the Caddell version minus the cyclop. A very nice watch indeed... I wonder when you finally run into another rolex aficionado, what he'll think of your watch.

I've been wearing a rep at work, and virtually no one has commented on it. I think if you aren't into watches, these just disappear from the field of vision.

you must have one big wrist there !

Contrary to what you think, my wrist is small. That's why I didn't share any wrist shots, don't want to aggravate guys who hate people with small wrist wearing a big watch. ;)
