Hello, i am a big REP collector

Hi All,
I am one of the biggest REP watch collectoer ( to-date ), nice to join in to the forum and meet friend with the same hobby.
Do ask any question about the REP's as i have seen all most all of them ( really handling it ) , no i am not a REP seller so don't ask me about buying it. but i do have a really good supplier which will get me what i want from the manufacturer direct ( and ones that i don't like they will also get it to show me ) so i do have most of the 'Swiss' REP.
And i do move into repair and servicing side as well ( for my own watches ), so you all can ask me how to fix them maybe i can help. but you need to invest in some tools for this, but it does make your hobby very interesting....

Thanks

Is a funny country i live in the GOV's like to catch the REP sellers but there is one street in KL ( Chu Cheong Kai ...many will start to ???? here ) simlpy chinatown to others. which i don't come across in any other county that i have been to have such good REP's ( good qualities ) and its a fight till the end with the GOV guys, but really good to visit here if you have a chance to see it yourself ( but if the GOV guys come when you are here you will see how they RUN ....in less then 15 minutes the whole street is empty ) off cause is not good for you as there is nothing else to see then....

Hi Fatt. Welcome to RepGeek. I'm from Singapore but happen to work in KL as well.

(Btw, KL stands for Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, for those who're still wondering...)

I've been to Petaling St. and I must agree the quality of the watches is good, but the prices are not. I personally prefer to shop for watches in Sungai Wang where the bargaining is more reasonable.

hello all,
thanks for all the responds. i will try to get some picture, just need to stack them out is a complex task. you see is about 300++ pieces ( i don't mean to brag about it just errrgggggg!! to do it all ). just as well i will get some photo done.....
Hi there, all Malaysian's out there YUP you guy heard of the place i mentioned earlier on, is a amazing place but be cautious the sellers will be a bit high in prices but if you are not friendly with them. roam around there are some will be quite reasonable, just ask for the swiss ones from them...you already know the prices from the forum and the net suppliers so just bargin with them. they will give in if it is reasonable to have some profits. ( Hey nobody do bussiness without profits ) the Sungai Wang guy get their stocks from chinatown suppleirs ( i know the Sungai Wang guy ) BTW Sungai Wang is a shopping place in KL great variety and bargins good for tourist to KL.
Not to offend anyone. but some guy they go there and ask for USD 10 for a watch....hmmm that is a bit unreasonable isssit your try manufacture it your self and see....and if you get any on offer with that price it will be the worst quality and waste of money ( it will not last you 2 months ) if you can save up a bit and spend on some good quality ones it will look real feel real and work well....
