gtanak Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) Hi all, Impulse buy on a GMT IIc a week ago and never looked back. In the delirium while waiting for my first good quality rep to arrive, bought a Chopard GT XL as well. Even before that has arrived, ordered straps to complement. Slight hiccup on the first watch, but that has been replaced and i'm loving the watch especially since the missus says it looks great on my hand! (Wow, i understood that as, hey honey, go out and get somemore.. so here i am) Not wanting this new found affair (dun tell the wife) to die a natural death, i've ordered watch repair, disassembly kits from Amazon and am now looking for my next purchases. I intend to get a classic rep, something that can be worn as a daily beater and will take someone more than 5 looks to realise its a rep. Also, i'm based in Asia, Singapore to be exact. Really appreciate if any kind bro can PM me some links for watch makers or modders like lumers or AR so i can embark on this exciting hobby. Thanks all!

offshore Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Be careful..this hobby is a cruel mistress! She will empty your wallet quicker than the real one, but will keep coming back for more! I can also see your wife with MANY extra pairs of shoes! Offshore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offshore Haha... i almost think you know my wife personally, or are all women like such? Unfortunately, my missus's obsessions are with bags (OucH!). If she does decide that for every rep i get she shall get a bag, i either end this love affair prematurely or i better starting getting bloody good reps or even gens for that matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtanak Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 WOo! Right after i posted this, my doorbell rang and my Chopard arrived! Took many pics but dun think anyone is interested in such a common rep. Its a beauty IMO and the rep rubber is sooo soft.. but its a dust magnet! Within minutes there are white furballs and little specks attracted to my belt... Hopefully the rubber belt i ordered does better. Anyone can provide a good link or source for sports rubber belt for the chopard GT XL? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Welcome to RWG Gerald. Some of the dealers on the trusted dealers list have straps, bracelets and other acceessories. If you dont see something your looking for send the dealer a message and tell them what It Is exactly. To keep your wife happy you could always buy her a rep bag. Some of them are really nice, like are watches. I purchased a LV for my moms birthday for a little over $100.00. The real LV(Louis Vuitton)are around $1000.00, oh well just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'd stuff a rep down my throat if i ever got her one haha... I'm still recovering from her last bag, hence the wise decision to stay off gens and go into reps for myself. Next up, Skyland Avenger grey SS... waiting for sale time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
