Dude, 100% go with what makes you happy. You cannot go and get a watch that you think is the most expensive, 3/4's of the public wont have a clue what it is anyway. Everyone is different, some people only wear reps of the gens they could afford or there lifestyle says they can afford....this is a huuuuuge other subject too.
Look around, browse the M2M, look at the trusted dealer sites, even go into a jewller and see the gens, i find that pictures do not do watches justice and you need to go and see them in person, then make wait till the one comes along and pull the trigger.
I 100% want to go for the Rose gold Rep The Royal Oak Rose gold Audemar.
but my issue is people are saying it will fade and stuff.
