Yeah I'm glad I asked the question before buying on impulse (I'd have about 10 useless pieces by now) it's just a shame as they're a great looking piece.

Think I'm leaning towards a Chopard now...but that'll probably change soon

Cheers for letting me know, sorry you had to find out that way like.

Think i'll give it a miss then, back to the deliberating table for my first rep...

Pedro don't buy this watch!!!

I have the regular edition and I sent it to The Zigmeister 1 month ago to do a service on it. The Zigmeister told me he wasn't able to service the watch. The watch has a bad construction and a lot of problems. The watch will die soon due its bad construction.

STAY AWAY of this model!!

Really? Glad I asked for advice before I purchased, considering the price for a rep that's a right bastard.

You didnt buy from the same place as Dolphinfriendly did you?

Looks like I might be rethinking my first purchase.

Thanks for the warning Fiti!

Thanks for the advice guys.

I thought the general consensus was Asian 7750s didn't need servicing 'til about 9 Months in?

I do like the Grand Carreras mind, fantastic looking watches, I just hope it being my first I dont end up regretting it!

I'm about to pull the trigger on my first rep and after drooling over so many watches and the reviews, I still keep coming back to this one.

Before I do, any wise words from those who have bought or any advice on any of the alternatives (to the black) as I like them all to be fair

Considering them myself LB, looks like we may have similar taste.

What about this one?

P4GTR I had the exact same green replica tag about 10-12 Years ago

I'm still undecided on what to buy first, trying to read as much as I can before I make the wrong decision.

Edging towards a TAG to make up for that horrendous one I had...

Alright Loserbloke, fellow newbie from UK here.

The description has sold it for me, I'm getting one

I've been reading a fair bit since I joined the other week, was even going to buy on impulse and having seen PT earn rave reviews, PM'd him, but he's never replied since
