slask111 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) I just wanted to share my love for this watch. I got it from my dude sixx a couple of weeks ago and im in love with it. Sixx is tha man! It has the Valgranes movement and is serviced by a well known member on the forum. I know this watch is hard to get from the dealers today, the A7750 is avalible but not the Valgranes one. The reps i wear is usualy of less known brands. And no Hublots, AP etc cause they are to expensive irl. I would like to wear my watch in public without ppl screaming "fake". I just have to say that this watch is awsome. Its big, loud and ppl really notice it. I normaly wear a Ebel 1911 (black) as a daily beater but no one notice that.. but this one is another story. At work ALOT of ppl are into watches.. and wearing this has led to a few new members here... Anyways.. if you find a good deal on this watch.. get it! It wont be around for much longer! Sry for the quality of the pics, its from my Galaxy S2. I had to sell my Canon GX9 to get more watches P.s If you are thinking of wearing this with a suit... forget it. It wont fit under the shirt. Told you.. Its loud! Edited December 3, 2011 by slask111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackR Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 nice Slask...i have the same one with aftermarket lume...funny thing is i can't seem to find a strap i like with it... but - it is an interesting watch - and one that many people notice...for whatever reason, i get more compliments with this one than many of my others...in Upstate NY, many people wear large/loud department store pieces (Macy's and the like)...i think that's part of the reason people compliment this one - they think its one of them...lol...

redwatch Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 If they made the rep with the SS bracelet I would be all over this one! Its an awesome looking watch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree. It doesnt look expensive, just.. cool. I have a friend that has a GANT watch that looks similar to this. No AR or something like that but it sure looks alot like this. Dont like it I have now tried with the original rubber, an aftermarket tan strap and the rep brown strap is in the mail on its way to me. I agree i havent found the perfect strap for it yet. The good news is that the watch look great on any strap Edited December 8, 2011 by slask111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slask111 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Just got the rep Chopard leatherstrap with deployment buckle from Mary. Check it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Chopards do stand out..In a very good way I might add....and you could not have done business with a better member than SIxx. Maybe you can take some pics with some of your strap choices...Im not crazy about tire thread design. Outside of that I love the watch. Congratulations on a handsome watch Slask.

slask111 Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Thnx maxman Ill take some decent pics when i have some light. In sweden it gets dark at 14.00 and i sleep until 13.00 so not much time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slask111 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Some pics with the rep chopard strap. Sourced from Mary who was helpfull in finding this strap in 23mm. The leather is a bit hard compared to my 25$ tan strap i bought earlier. But the color and buckle sure makes up for it. Love the look now.

maxman Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Thanks for the pics Slask. I have had a few very stiff straps over the years..what i do is massage leather conditioner Into the leather. I have had very good results by doing this. Just remember to use a high quailty leather conditioner...should make the strap nice and soft. Nice look for the Chopard btw. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctf Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Hello, I am very new to this forum, and I am looking for the exact watch you discussed on the forum. Your review and pictures were awesome. It looks absolutely stunning, and I would like to get the same one. Could you please tell me where you got it from? I am afraid that I could get a bad rep otherwise... I am in the US. Thank you and happy holidays. Arno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctf Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Thank you Mike for the link. Is it worth the almost $500 asking price for this rep? If so, then I believe it will be mine this week. :-) Complete newbie here, so I will defer to the pros judgement here. Thanks again and Merry Christmas.

Watchmeister Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 All I can say is that if you have always longed for the gen then this is a must have. IMHO still one of the best out of the box reps ever. Wear that one well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slask111 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Good luck with the watch, im sure you will love it. I got the brown strap from Mary, i can recommend that dealer. I would get it with the brown strap instead of rubber if i had the choice. 500$ is alot for a 3 year old rep.. but its a great one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctf Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Thanks for the tip for the brown strap. I will see what she can get. Cordially, Arno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
