New guy here. Been a fan of watches since I was a teenager, now much older. Started with a few gen Omegas and Longines. Scratched the first rep itch with a couple Omegas and then a couple of Rolexes. I will probably trade out occasionally so may have something to sell here and there. So far I have 4 reps and I had them serviced with light oil, cleaning and waterproofed. Think it makes sense coming from China.

Hi buddy @DiamondNo9857

Welcome to the RWI Forums & Community!

Its a good thing if you are able to have the reps serviced with some oils and cleaned up and checked waterproofed. That will definitely prolong the usage of the rep watch for a much longer time.

If there is anything we can help you with any queries, please feel free to EMAIL at: [email protected] or PM us here.

I have been one of the longest standing Trusted Dealer since 2002 - Trusty Time and I am Andrew here.

We hope to be able to serve you soon.

Cheers. Have a nice day.

The above welcome message from feefo with all the links is the most importantly stuff to read right now as to being successful in the forum, but really all the stickies are super useful. You sound like you have a really sound strategy with reps, and you had one heck of a start in the watch world, I started with a shitter Mickey Mouse watch 😆. Welcome to rwi.

Glad to be here. Thanks for the help and I'll start reading the stickies. I'll still ask dumb questions because I'm old and non-techy. :)
