Do you still buy Rep Watches?

[BlueLineFarmer]

I bought a Noob Daytona for 500 dollars now its over 1300.00 dollars.

Who is going to pay you $1,300 for a NOOB Daytona with no gen parts and where can you sell the watch at?

It’s mental but People will easily pay that mate.

There are Plenty of selling platforms outside RWI.

You should see how much once 388usd discontinued PAMs are selling for internationally....it’s incredible.

Unfortunately, I'm not yet at the stage in my career where I can afford gens (even used on the gray market). Even when I am raking in the dough, I'm not sure I will be able to mentally justify the spending on a Rolex or something (I would be too scared to wear it!). That said, watches that don't have a good rep counterpart (FOIS) I will gladly buy gen used once I have the means.

Why this thread ?

Can you elaborate? What are you talking about?

Bit of a weird question given the company.

Being “happy with seiko” isn’t “wisdom”....it’s potentially quite an condescending remark to make on a rep forum...where people want to enjoy the novelty of wearing watches, with the broad looks of their gen counterparts, costing 5-200k Watches. There is no shame in that. It’s just a bit of fun.

Buying gen because “they retain value” implies that reps don’t...which isn’t exactly true. You could re-sell most reps here with little or no loss. If you loose cash, it’ll be in the order of a chicken bucket meal for the family.

I could afford to buy gen in every rep that I own - many here can - and many do own the gen equivalent....:but for me reps are just more fun to wear. They’re more personal.

Yes, I collect gens as well, but don’t like the idea of walking around with £30k strapped to the wrist. No good can come out of it. Haha.


Whats this wisom talk. Lol. Where you previously buying reps to please others and not to enjoy as pretty novelty/hobby items?

Man… too each his own. I just do not see any value in gen over reps. I could afford most of my reps (even the RMs but it would be so sillly).

I just prefer to buy gen holidays, gen sportcars and gen apartments.

Great reply! I aspire to reach your height of success one day!
