G'day everyone!

I'm fairly new to the rep scene.
Only have three watches to date.
IWC BP 5002 (new version with the supposed 'non-recessed' DW, soon to arrive from Josh!)

Chopard GTXL limited Ed grey-dial version
Franck Muller King Cortez white!

LOVING THIS ONE AT THE MOMENT!

Nice to meet you all!

Enjoy your stay here!

**Brobert** · 08-26-2010, 10:31 AM

Welcome! Looks like you're off to a good start, some nice choices there.

**Christie** · 08-26-2010, 12:12 PM

Yeh I wanted a good rep 'out of the box' and this prompted me to get the chopard but after seeing the real one I was like ... Noway I'm wearing it now... So now I'm starting on my bp project which seems to be pretty generic starting point for many member's first 'modded' piece...

I'm trying to contact vac for lume, date mod, and chiefAR but I'm not getting any reply from him... Is this normal since I'm a noob? What's a pre-requisite to send him my watch for a mod???

**louisruby** · 08-26-2010, 12:30 PM

What a while, Vac should get back to you, he's pretty busy.
Big wait for Chief AR as far as I know.

Wear them and enjoy them, only us geeks notice the mods anyway

Welcome Christie, always good to see more Aussies

Nice!
My roots are actually in Sydney! Still weird supporting NSW during state of origin...

Do you know any good AR providers in AUstralia?
As per previous post, ChiefAR is apparently on really long waiting list.... it'd be good if there was someone locally who can do just as good as a job!

I'm not sure about who to speak to AR wise, but if you contact louisruby, he's got a pretty good handle on who is who here in Aus.... Very nice guy too.

Oh nice!
Already starting to accumulate contacts... how did people get by without internet back in the stone ages?

Summer is coming up soon! and my other hobby is Jetskiing and boating/fishing (and cars and women and cigars and good scotch... safer not to start drifting off...

) Being seaside, you into boating?

Welcome to RG- got yourself off to a banging start!

**SatansPants** · 08-26-2010, 03:55 PM

I'll type slowly, I know you guys in the north can't read too quickly...

**offshore** · 08-26-2010, 05:57 PM

Gold Coasters actually read quicker than most!
(When they are Melbourne transplants!)
Welcome Christie.
Give me a yell if you need anything, I have probably got a handle on most needs.

Anyone else see the irony?

Thanks for that one SatansPants ... I'm sure you did it on purpose and I'm pretty sure most think it was lame but my goodness! i find it mad funny! (Is this a sign that I'm officially a boring person?!?

)
