I am very new to this hobby as well and when I started out, I only had one goal and that is to build franken Hulk that would be as close to the gen as possible. I have the gen which was given to me by my commander-in-chief but no matter how I tried, the value attached to that gift would always be more intimate than the rep (even if somehow one I day I would lose my mind and install a $4k gen dial). Having said that, the camaraderie and friendship I built through this hobby have also brought new meanings to the rep watches that I own today. Each one of them has a different story to tell and perhaps, at the end of the day, we can look at it that way rather than just wonky datewheels and bracelets.

What's the biggest hint (for you) that you are wearing a replica, and not a gen?

I have this rep and gen pair. Literally there is no difference between them except one costs $7K and other cost $350.

I usually fool everybody, cause my lifestyle and my rep are both on point
This gave me a good laugh - thank you!

i dress like a scruff most times but rock my gens and reps. I couldn't care less if people judge and assume the watch is a rep. Its none of their business what I do with my money. You dont always have to have a flashy car and dress well to have a nice watch. different priorities, i rather have nice watches than a nice car that depreciates in value
