New member - Gen and Rep Collector

[neil_tee]

Hi everyone,

New member so wanted to make a short intro. Started watch collecting at age 30 with the usual intro to gen watches with Seiko (first watch over 300GBP was a Seiko Sportura F1) and then quickly moved onto mechanical Seikos (SKX) etc.

Made my first serious investment (over 3000GBP) in a gen Speedmaster MOTM followed by a Seamaster, Autavia, Bremont ALT1 (for the British connection and after a great tour of the Wing in Henley). During this time joined a waitlist for a Sub and it took 4 years but finally received the call and collected last year. Now that I have my gen grail watches, looking to add to the collection with some great rep watches that I love but could never afford/justify/wear outside.

The rep journey started with a trip to Turkey last year where I picked up some AAA watches that are still going strong and although the case quality was pretty good, I wanted to a decent movement and improvement in overall quality (I have 3x Daytonas, Batgirl, Nautilus, Aquanaut - all AAA). I still wear all 6 in rotation and they often get more wrist time than my other watches.

Just orded my first Superclone rep from Steve@TOW, a Daytona 126500 Clean Black Dial...and cant wait for the QC pics and arrival...and the next part of my journey/collection.
