bjl3910 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I wanted to bring up a fact that bothers me. Due to my particular tastes, most of the reps I buy come with a leather strap. I can't help it; I just don't care for metal ones. I have always felt like a leather strap is dressy, and looks better with a suit that some big chunky metal bracelet. I also think they draw less attention to your wrist, and IMHO we should try to fly under the radar with our reps. I like my watches, and I don't try to fool anyone with them.

lanikai Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'll change all my rep straps with either costumed straps from members here Hktan or from a vendor off the net..weather a stock rep strap or a faux strap bought after. The strap really finishes off the watch.. most of us don't keep the rep strap on or buy a rep. reptilian after.. the real shtuff looks so good on a super rep..

Toadtorrent Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yup...there are some great mid-priced strap options out there...and higher priced options as well. I don't mind the Breitling ones...better of the rep straps IMHO. Others don't like them...but the key is...you need the strap to get the deployment and/or buckle... If you have PAMs...straps are half if not 3/4 of the fun!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjl3910 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 MonteBlanc Timewalker? Yep, I just got this one, so I am kind of on a kick with it. By far my favorite watch. I'm kind of a big guy and it fits me really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjl3910 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I hear what all of you are saying. Especially on the PAMS. My oint is that some of us would like the watch to come on decent leather. When I got my VC Patrimony, I almost got mad and sent it back. The strap made the watch look so bad that I was literally repacking it when my girlfriend made me stop and try another strap on it. Good thing too, b/c the watch is great. A super rep IMHO. But the strap on it was worse than the one that came on my 111h. And I would have thought that was impossible. LOL. I just think that individually we're all just a single customer, but collectively as a community we should have a loud voice with these dealers. I mean there's what close to 30k members here. It seems like the dealers would have to listen. Think about how many watches these guys sell b/c of this forum. if every member buys just 3 in a year, thats close to 70,00 watches. I bet it's an even bigger number. Should the dealers not be more accountable to us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
