New reason for me.

Because I wanna annoy my Fiance unk:

On holidays I always wear a rep and I always regret it. In my mind I will get robbed, loose it, it gets stolen from the hotelsafe...... but nothing ever happens.
next time I will wear my gen (not to Barcelona or Paris off course.....)

def a new reason for me, my wifes like "another watch?"

Because I made my money being conservative with my spending and investing correctly. I can afford a Rolex if I want but following my philosophy I’d consider that a stupid investment. That’s why I am perfectly ok with a $400 rep and flexing it like it’s real. My life plays the part of the lifestyle that I can afford it so no one would even question it.

I collect watches and got a Pelagos LHD was on love with it but blue was also of interest. Didnt have funds or willingness to spend 3k on same watch so REP fit the bill, lets me wear the blue without breaking the bank.

Pelagos is great. Collecting rep is smart. I collect too. Btw are you going to sell one of yours soon?

If you are so smart then you buy a real rolex.. rolex always holds its value, and mutch higher. It is a good investment, 2012 you could buy a hulk for 7.500 usd, 2019 its 15-18.000 usd.. that is a smart investment Replicas is worthless.. you throw your money in the lake, but i love replicas too, but if i could i whould buy a real rolex or Patek or whatever watch i like because its a good investment

Almost every comment about this subject in the forums people claim that they can easily afford gen watches but don't wanna spend the cash. I almost never hear someone admit that gens are too expensive for their budget lol.

I have the investment rlx’s in the vault and the reps on the wrist. Best of both worlds....

Yeah, well I probably could afford 2-3 gens tops, but I’d rather instead have 30 different models sitting in my watchbox. Some years ago I was not very keen on reps, because they were an immediate tell, but nowadays some factories like VSF are making me break the bank account.

Gens are too expensive for my budget! I don't see that changing for the foreseeable future!!

Lol. At least someone is man enough to admit that. no shame in that IMO.

Mainly to try it out to see if I want a gen or not but the majority of my reps have been sold off.

There are are a few gens that I want that’s “affordable” but on waiting lists.

I now only buy the ones I want to mod. 1680, 5513 and 16610 on the way to convert to 16800.

To me, modding is way more fun than wearing them. It’s a fun hobby for me and as OCD and ADHD as I am, it’s a hobby that makes me focus completely on the project. It’s one of the few hobbies that I have left that I enjoy, since I’ve aged out of DJ-ing at raves. Lol.

I agree with people saying it's about variety. Even if you can afford a gen (or two), it is a lot easier to have a small collection of reps and have different things to wear. Of course, that could also be achieved with cheap watches or micro brands.

For me i buy reps of watch i will know i can t sell in fast time or watch i don t wanna spent a lot of money on it....it s a choice....sometime GEN (if I take with me for a long time) or REP if I want one shot and go

Agreed, why do we buy copy right infringing replicas and not support small brands or buy low budget gens.

I started out buying low budget vintage Gens

I now only buy fakes here, mostly to check out then flip, as the ‘whole how close of a replication’ thing has me fascinated.

I buy reps in an attempt to trick people into believing that I have money that I don't.
