My first was a Rolex Daytona with a Swiss 7750 movement about 3 years ago. At the time it was an ok rep the dial spacing was way off. I still have it as I hope to use the movement for something else one day. I paid $1,400.00 way to much from a scam site. Than I found RWG-1 life has never been the same :p

This is the first rep I recieved from one of our dealers.
It's not the first one I ordered but the first one to arrive.

My first order was with joshua, it was for a rolex sub lv, a breitling navitimer, and an omega nicole kidman for the wife. He shipped wifes seperate and a couple days later which cause a little tension but its all good now.

Omega SMP Chrono from Ruby love at first sight. It's not getting as much wrist time since Ruby sent my SFSO Swiss with the Blue face.
I hooked and am not ashamed to admit it. :wink:

My first watch was a PAM 111H from Ruby. I still remember the days when I thought everyone was crazy for wearing such an "ugly" watch. At the time, I thought that the more complicated the dial was (chronograph...), the nicer the watch. Little did I know, that looking at pictures of PAMs everyday would cause me to fall in love with such a simple watch.... :p

My first rep purchase was an LV Submariner. I wanted one the first time I saw one. I saw the price of a gen from Allan Furman and started looking on the internet. Stumbled across RWI and the rest is history.

I just had to be different - NOT! First purchase was a LV submariner. It gave up the ghost about a year ago RIP.

My first rep was a 2893 powered PAM 063 that I bought off eBay while searching for an IWI Marine Diver back in 05. I was silly enough to sell it after only a couple of months for $200. :cry: I'd pay $400 to have it back...

My first was a all gold Day Date President back many years ago. It still runs and looks great however the gold color has discolored a bit on the case back. It was a cheapo model that got me interested in going into better versions.

My first rep was in 1989, bought on the New Orleans flea market, it was a Rolex Datejust, silver face, with a jubile bracelet... keept it for 3 years and bought the real deal...

Obviously, it was a piece of crap, everything was wrong, but in these times, they were no super rep.

Lived happily with my gen for more than ten years and then I discovered RWG1 during a long sleepless night...

Bought this 2002, or was it 2001?
It served me very good during my military service even though it was treated very bad during that time.
I had it bead blasted 6 months ago and love the look of my stonemariner!
