Hello everybody, I've been looking for a group like this for years. Found it by chance looking at google image comparisons of watches and clicked on a page. I'm ecstatic to say the least. I've loved watches since I was a kid: from my Timex IRONMAN at 13 to my first "nice watch" I bought in the military at 19 in1998, a FOSSIL BLUE 2-tone Moon-phase I wore every day for years, even at my wedding. Then in the early 2000's my first automatic: INVICTA 8926OB ( I didn't even know what automatics were! ). That watch set me on my journey to collecting watches and learning a lot. Now I have a good career and I can surely afford a GEN, but I value my hard earned money too much! I have a second hand TAG as my most expensive, Seiko and Citizen automatic divers and several Paganis and Invictas. I've ALWAYS wanted a REP because because like I said, I could afford it but I don't like the price gouging and plus I'm a mature confident man who doesn't give a rats ass what the world thinks. In reality nobody will ever question what's on your wrist unless it's a Gold Daytona and you work at Burger King, right? I'll surely have questions in the future, I've placed my first order with TheOneWatches and a gentleman named Steve has been answering emails so quick it's impressive! Cheers to all, I'm looking forward to this new chapter in my watch collecting!
