Chopard MM GTXL - Arrived from the best dealer I ever met, Reg from Narikka... (Warning: Picture Heavy)

[Tanweekiat]

The mailman arrived this morning with the watch and a pen I get from Reg (Narikka).

This is the first time I ordered a watch from Narikka and am pleasantly surprise by the service quality I received and the watch is pack in a Defenda Cardboard Postal Tubes. I've censored my address.

Very clean and neat packaging. I like this more than the usual box packaging. Yes, I'm a very anal person. But these small details do make my day.

The top have been stapled and secured.

Defenda Tubes

Took me quite a while to remove the staples and pop the tube.

Once the cap removed, the watch and pen is wrapped in a bubble wrap and with a little effort pull out the entire content.

Unwrapped the bubble wrap, reveal the Montblanc pen together with the Chopard in a suede blue pounch.

Chopard MM GT XL

Remove the item from the pouch reveal a securely taped watch.

And I have to admit I suck at removing sticky tapes since young. Spend quite a long time trying to figure out where's the end of the tape. Traced and slowly remove the tape and revealed a watch inside a plastic bag.

Remove the plastic bag and it reavealed another plastic bag!

Just make me wondering how many plastic it gonna have?

Finally removed the last plastic bag, and there the Chopard smiling at me. Isn't she beautiful?

Accompanied with a bright yellow cleaning cloth nicely wrapped on the top strap!

Unwrapped the cleaning cloth and the watch look so much better~

A far shot of the Chopard before I switch to my macro lens!

Zoomed and focus on the watch face

The crown of the Chopard!

Macro Mode

Now for the details and time to see some dust that is near impossible to see normally! And this is where it's going to be "dirty"

Time to observe this beauty inside out!

I've made a small video to show this beauty!

Alright with these images, I think I shall put a beautiful full stop here!

Thanks Reg from Narikka! These purchases from you are top notch and I really appreciate all the effort you put into this. You are easily the best dealer here in my opinion! Great! Look like I just found my preferred TD here! Thanks Buddy!

Montblanc

As for the rep Montblanc. I don't know much about Pen and this is my first time buying such luxury pen. Have been a pilot pen user since I learn how to write (maybe draw)

So I just post some photos up and maybe you can help me or guide me how to shoot a pen or even appreciate a good pen!

I will just throw the pen photos here

Removing the cap

The refill of the pen (Is the refill a rep as well? )

The star

Some engraving

does he have a website to order form

[Tanweekiat]

Hey man,

Unfortunately he is not a TD here, but he's a TD on other forum.

His humble gallery for all the watches (and other items) he have on hand

https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/2644807/1/Narikaa%20Gallery?h=a09530

Or email him at narikaa@gmail.com

This watch I got from him is the last! He will be sourcing more I hope and probably even more after so many member saw my posting in major forums.

*Mod: If I cannot advertise him here, I will remove the post.

Narikaa was a dealer here until last month when he decided to leave ... he has always been a great dealer.

I did not know they still made this watch with the backwards crown .. it looks great, tho.

It has a wrong seconds hand, mind you.

Nice Chopard. I've gotten a few of these from him myself, but friends always buy them off me so I need to order another... good to know he has nice pens. I may have to pick one up as well.
