Hi guys,
Not my usual hang out, but I thought I'd share my recent transaction.
I'm fairly new to this hobby, with a limited budget. I love watches, as I guess you all do, and the reason most are here is because they love the 'brands' but just can't afford them, or can't justify the high price tags.
I spend a lot of time looking through the websites of TD's and thinking 'yep, gonna save for that one' or 'adding that to my wish list'. Me too!
I've bought some shite in my time from the likes of Aliexpress and I keep reprimanding myself every time I even look at the website!
Anyway, if this is confession, then I'm sorry but I have sinned! One Saturday morning during my normal ablutions I happened upon this website again. Scrolling through page after page of dross, my eye was caught on. Rep U-Boat 1001. I. An hear you all groaning now! There was a lot of reviews, which included a lot of photographs from members that had purchased, and I've got to say I was hooked!
I pushed the trigger! 3 weeks later perfectly packed, this arrived:
Automatic movement that gives me 38 hours of power reserve.
Now, I understand that knowledgable folk in this sub forum will be able to see the 'tells' a million miles off, but it's a cracking watch....
... Oh, did I tell you, including deliver it was £24 / €31 / $35 ??
Happy smile!
