Funny how all the other "welcome" threads have single digit posts... yet a woman gets greeted for 3 pages(so far).


:cheers:

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

A Newbie question: Are the cheaper ones that are sold in the markets casing also made from cheaper steel than than ones from TD?

The AP Diver that we bought in Turkey for $160 US is getting a bit scratched up. I did not know if should expect that with a V5 from TD as well?

And Yes I will be in the market for a PAM for the bf soon, so I can borrow it ;)

Chances are what you bought may have been plated base metal rather than stainless steel. These do tend to scratch a lot easier.

No matter what it's made of a Cape Cod Cloth will get out any light scratches on a polished watch. You can buy one at most hardware stores for 5 bucks or so.

If a watch tends to be worn in an environment where scratching is an issue it's an idea to stick to brushed finish watches as a brushed finish will show a lot less marks and can be restored easily with a scouring pad made by 3M. These can be bought for a couple of dollars from paint supply stores, ask for a "3M red scouring pad". Simply brush over the affected area in the direction of the "grain".

Sophie... imagine that you've just walked into a male prison yard. This yard is for the gentler and well behaved inmates, but they still don't get out much. Don't let that bother you though, they are harmless, except maybe to modding watches, then only the watch needs to be in fear of it's life. :)

A female perspective is very refreshing. Looking forward to having you around.

LOL. It doesn't matter if Sophia has a boyfriend... in a male-dominated forum, we all just come out of the woodwork when a woman joins and introduces herself. However, I think it's because we just find it so cool that a woman would find a fascination with rep watches; we are attracted like flies to a bug zapper.

Welcome Sophia. On the other side of the coin, I also joined a female-dominated rep bags forum just for the heck of it. ;)

Is it RBC that you have join? I just join that forum few weeks ago, it is so hard to find information regarding their dealers there. It is like a highly classified information that anyone leak out any information are gonna be prostituted..........
