auswatcher 0 Posted December 24, 2009 Hi Guys Wanted to announce the arrival of my "1st" rep my Skyland V3, black dial and am thrilled with the result. Like I said this was my first rep and at the beginning was slightly apprehensive, but with the help of other members, particularly on Repgeek and with their helpful advise, regarding the best value for money, I chose the Skyland V3. As a recommended dealer I went through Hont, and let me tell you this guy is fantastic. He accommodated me well and tried his best to get me a great watch, particularly with respect to the lume dots. With the pics he provided, and incidentally it was hard to choose (basically I just flipped a coin ), I was able to get a great watch for the price, and what more could I expect or want. I can highly recommend Hont, just leave it to him and be patient. With me, I paid for the watch and told him to take his time. More can be said, but I know you want the pics...so excuse the bad quality of my handycam pics but they'll have to do. Special thanks to the Repgeek members (who are here too Im sure) for their help and putting up with my "stupid" questions, will be posting the pics there too soon. Without further adieu, here are the pics. Merry Christmas and have a safe and prosperous New Year friends, here and everywhere *No comments on my shoes....so Im a little metro...deal Enjoy :gday_mate_haveabeer: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 994 Posted December 25, 2009 Hey, with your taste in watches the shoes are hereby excused. Very nice indeed mate. Fix the lume dots and off to Chieftang for a top notch AR job and it's close to perfect! Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Merry Christmas!! aha, now I remember. I completely forgot about the sticker or taking pics of it. From memory it just said "Controle Qualite(?) Breitling" and no red line In my excitement, just put it on and now, no writing. Guess Breitling is now in my blood now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
