I never knew the brand existed until wondering into the REP abyss. Finally urchsed one nd I just love that watch. Simple design so REPs are very good, It's one watch I won't buy the GEN of and would not sell the REP.

Before going into reps I only know of Rolex, Omega, Zenith, Patek. In fact I came to look for a Zenith.
I as well. But I was intorduced to the Hublot Fusion Classic and PAMs. Both of which I had never heard of. Patek I knew of, but I wouldn't pass the smell test wearing any Patek or AP
I venture into rep and learn about PAM. I though I would not like them because they are so simple and all models look the same. Now, I have 7 Pam/Pam homage in my collection and will get more when the price is right
PAM's are actually what got me here in the first place. Brother in law had a rep 090 and i fell in love with the Luminor style - once i started looking into the brand and the interesting history behind it, i was hooked on all of the models.
But the rep world in general opened my eyes to many more brands that I did not know before.

Never even heard of PAM until the beginning of this year and didn't really take that much interest in them. Like many, my initial quest into the rep world was for a Rolex. I have 2 subs and a Deep Sea Dweller on the way from Reg but that will be it. The average Rolex looks small on my wrist. I found a PAM127 and bought it because I wanted to try something bigger. It was all over from that point on. I currently own 5 and I can still see at least one more soon to be added.
ive known about panerai, but i wasnt too crazy about them. however I bought a rep from here, im still not 100% convinced, but it makes for a nice watch on a leather strap
Hated them at first but I'm starting to like them. Too bad I have tiny wrists and I'm not a huge fan of the 42mm models lol. Everything else looks like a wall clock
