mglgal Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hello everyone, i am new to the site and have upgraded my membership- i'm just sad becuase i didn't even know about this site!!! Anyway the sites been great and wanted some helpful ideas on getting a new watch. i have 3 very good reps from EL, the Omega seamaster, panari 111, and rolex daydate, I am actively looking for a nice chronoswiss, bregeut, or patek with classic form pref. leather band, I've seen a lot out there and see that some of the dealers have nice swiss movements can anyone give me some direction ?? or hints from experience? thanks Marc PS my ultimate is a swiss quality ulysse nardin if any info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new & improved osteopath Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 At the moment, the only way to get a high quality Swiss UN, is to actually buy a gen UN. I have seen a couple of good Chronoswiss in the past year or so, but could not tell you where they came from. -O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 no good chronoswiss or UN reps... only the chronoswiss kairos from Joshua or Trusty looks ok... ETA caliber but classic style reps (patek, vacheron, un) has not the same quality like rlx, pam or omega reps... most problem are the straps... you need a nice genuine alligator strap for your watch and this will cost you extra $100... rep lether straps looks HORRIBLE and only plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I am with tourby. UN and Chronoswiss have not been repped particularly well. And you will need a better strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavor flav Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 how about a VC? 1755 jubilee looks great as well as the patek 5053. straps are horrible and need a gen gator strap immediatly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochenbrau Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 rep lether straps looks HORRIBLE and only plastic Definately, replacing rep "leather" straps is mandatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mglgal Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 thanks tourby, i see the straps on your site looks nice, would a nice patek or VC be a better choice than chronoswiss ? what ones do you guys suggest to be a nice swiss eta and good case? how much for good PP or VC band? many thanks Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Where you located? you don´t need one of my straps. My straps are very expensive, because hand made. If you located in USA... you can get genuine alligator straps for cheaper regards tourby thanks for the help tourby, i really like the patek from Joshua with power reserve ind., do you have a band that will fit this watch? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjboxster Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I've not seen the mention of Chronoswiss so many times in a thread on any of the forums. One of the finest brands out there yet hardly any recognition in the rep world. I have been looking and waiting for a Timemaster rep since they first arrived on the scene over 5 years ago. While I am a Panny fanatic and have my share, I'd love to see good examples of Nardin's and Chronoswiss's, and other high quality, unique and fresher rep examples.
