The answer is... yes, absolutelly.
A Longines rep? For the 25% price of the gen is a bargain. Quality construction is amazing, stuning ar, water proof, great accuracy...
The only thin to improve is the lume.
There are a couple of pictures.

Very nice. I have been interested in this model for a while now. Do you know how it compares to GEN? What are the flaws?

Why would one buy a rep if it costs 25% of the price of the original ? Especially given the fact reps are a bit of a lottery - will it still work two months later ??

Because you save 75%???

And because this one is more consequent with my economic level and way of life. I´ll never buy a rep that I can´t afford buy the gen.

I don’t buy reps I couldn’t afford either.

You save 75% that’s obvious but reps being what they are there’s a real risk that it will have broken down within the year and then you’ll have lost 25%. Also, outside of the circle of rep geeks, reps are basically considered worthless.

If you buy a Longines gen your will pay more ... initially, but if you look and wait long enough you can buy it with enough discount so you don’t lose money at all when reselling, and normally no quality issues.

Personally, at the Longines price bracket, I’d rather pay 80% for a good used gen than 25% for a replica. I’ve had too much shit with replica’s already (and all were the so-called better quality reps).

I almost agree, but... if you buy a gen Longines and get bored of it, if you sell it one year later, you´ll lost the same 25% of the initial price. So the rep is amortized at the first year.
