Welcome back everyone! Apologies for the downtime. As you can see we have a lot of work ahead of us. Rather than try to set everything up and go live we decided to treat the upgrade as a work in progress. You will see changes happening, we are currently working on a theme for the site so please bear with the generic appearance for now. If you see any bugs please report them to staff.

I have personally not experienced such a warm welcome as this in any other community in my off/on 20+ years of hunting, negotiating, collecting, re-selling etc...OEM, as well as many top quality (yet quite inexpensive) PAM, ROLEX, Franck M, Sinn, Heuer, then Tag/Heuer, and Omega mainly.
I have always been fascinated by watches and other gadgets and seem to always be drawn into another somehow.
My main watches for different reasons today would be Panerai (bought my first one in Maui when I got engaged we saw it in jewelry store by the hotel and I had my friend ship it to me at the hotel. Man that thing was awesome, but WAY to big for my little wrist, but I wore it anyway and once back in LA, I was shocked when I learned how popular they were and that people could get them & were frustrated at the low inventory at the new Beverly Hills Boutique that I was looking for my 2nd and smaller piece. On the way out I was approached sold the huge one for a nice profit and my eyes lit up at the profit on demand that could be had.
My College friend has a family jewelry business, so it started a bad several years of a lot of buying nice watches, only to sell them weeks, months, or years later. I am proud to say I have never sold a watch for anywhere close to lower than what I originally paid. I wore my Rolex Explorer II and Explorer I for over 10 years, sold both for at least $1500. profit and no investment needed in them while using, same with all the reps, bands, straps, and buckles through the years.
I spent a lot of time researching and finding solid good quality, and decent people to do business with. I have been to Thailand and seen all sorts of wild back room whatever you are looking for, grew up right across the border to Mexico and bargaining as a kid for the Gucci watches that would turn your wrist green, so my passion started young. As an entrepreneur and salesperson at heart, I always hunted for the best quality and price, enjoyed that aspect of finding better quality and harder to find items...Until the offer came as it always does for good quality niche items, and it was sold on the spot for more than my investment.
No real attachment to any of them as I seem to always be eyeing something new in the same line as all the others and to me if someone wants it and appreciates it that much, and I have gotten some enjoyment out of it, then it's a win/win.
It has been a few years since I have been in the game, I have been looking online and a lot has changed.
Glad to be here and to soak up some knowledge of where to get my next PAM or Rolex Rep, and happy to help others as well.
