Everyone has to start somewhere. You guys may care to set your mind back to remember your knowledge base at the very beginning.

I hope you are both well. Have a fantastic day :)

It is his second post. He still needs to learn the ropes a little.

Hello noob! welcome to the forum! Yes we all start somewhere but i think the reason why many of the veterens on this forum get annoyed at noobs is due to too many of us lack the leg work of doing the research. we just want quick answers so we can just hurry and get the watch we want and feel safe we made a good buy without doing any research to come to that conclusion ourselves. I been on this forum for months reading and I still don't know squat but least know some of the basics like Swiss eta in a rep is nonsense. No rep is Swiss made and the claims of having Swiss movement is BS.

I too at times feel lazy and just want to be spoon fed but maybe in the future us noobs may want to start with an intro and the question, " what should I start reading first to educate myself to be wise about my purchase?" Instead of "what's better or the difference between these two?" Or "where can I get the best rep version of so and so?"

Maybe us noobs should be required to read certain materials on this forum and be checked off before we are even allowed to post our first rep question or purchase... We spend far too much time looking at the reps we want to buy browsing through TD sites for the best price rather than doing the research about the rep we want to buy.


The search tab is our friend :) Btw who's got the best sub???

Hi Livefree. :) Thanks for your info. I've spent some time researching and this forum has been a great help. Couldn't for the life of me find out what ETA meant. Searching ETA on the forum doesn't work for example.

Cheers anyway guys. I will crawl back under the rock that I came from. ;)

Don't be sour puss lad it wasn't pointed at you :) I think watch Eden is saying it has the same casing as what the eta movement would fit in to if I am correct. By tor's review on tags were a huge help for me and my first rep was the aquaracer beCuae of it. Buying your first few reps can be scary but u will get the hang. Don't back in your hole come out and play. I suggest going with a different TD to start and I've noticed that most reps that are top of the chain people have done reviews so that's a good guideline :)

These are cheap 21 jewels movements.
I have a cheap 21j breitling and tag and love them so if u don't want to spend too much and want a nice looking piece that u like its a good start in my opinion. Long as you're not wanting a very close to gen type rep.
