Started on Repgeek 2006/2007, can't really remember. The time of the Erfurt Combo going to New York and selling boxes of watches at GTGs, Okabum, Ross dials... It was actually Ross stopping that made me start making my own, through Wristcheck and the original HF, the rest as they say is history.
It was a wild ride, dials (so many dials...), clocks, bezels, CGs (both vintage and PreV
), 3-piece dials and plexis, just more and more parts. I got in so deep that I had thousand$ out to suppliers waiting for parts, with the stress that if one of the Chinese suppliers came out with something similar I'd lose my shirt.So I stopped...
Sold off everything, but made sure that I delivered right up to the last dial, never let anyone down. Sold off nearly all the watches, cash was put to better use for family. Do I miss the builds I put so much into? Sometimes. So if anyone still has anything out of my two watch boxes, post it up, I'd love to see - Alarms? 70s Chrono? Even the early 3646. I even gave away my airbrush..
I kept one though, currently in Sweden trying to get a 150 year old movement with no availability of spares working.
