Been cruising the forum for a couple weeks, and finally doing intro.

My name is Ricky.

I got attracted to the luxury watch game @ a young age. A family friend who was a dealer, put a diamond plated Rolex on my wrist (no idea the model)... and I just remember it being so heavy & my dad saying “that probably costs more than our house” 😂


I love traveling & have been blessed to meet some amazing people throughout my life. Some of which are in the watch game, and have helped guide me through my very noob journey.

I own a few different gens: 2 DJ + 1 YM

1 rep : SS skydweller…

I can’t remember where online I bought the rep, but it looks great.

Had second hand issues from the get go, so it’s been sitting in a closet. I’ve already found some very informative posts from other forum members around servicing and fixing reps.

I had no idea the rep world was this big & im pumped to learn & connect with you all!

I live in Oklahoma full time & on Oahu part time (not military).

Been reading a lot around the different movements and factories and reps.

What’s your favorite rep & factory that makes that piece and why?


Cheers
- Ricky

Welcome and thank you for sharing your interesting back story.

What’s your favorite rep & factory that makes that piece and why?
I like mostly Panerai so my favourite all-time factrory is Noob that produced some amazing reps that I am lucky to own as the 111, the 390, the 243 and so on.
Today I would say VSF 116610 is my favourite. If you have a spare week you can browse this thread and found out why!

Noob is long gone and you got scammed.

Noob shut down in 2020 and is permenantly gone. Anything from "Noob" now needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

Be happy you found this place. Don’t buy from random dealers you find on google again, a lot of shady people out there!
