I bought a BkLM rep in 15’ it was a sub C, really nice, works and functions great. But its not worth anything! I tried to post it for sale on this fourm and it got “nuked” deleted, because I dont post repeditive BS on this forum and dont have enough forum clout I guess?
Anyways I was going to sell this rep to get a batman rep... the batman rep was going to be $700 and I had paid $650+/- for mine. I figured I could get $300 for it or so. But its worthless, I actuallt decided to get a real batman for $10,000 than to loose $700.... I guess I dont undertanad these fake watches? Why do all of you spend good $ on these worthless things? Weird
Most of us have or had Gens. I decided the REPs were so good that parking $7000 on my wrist or watchbox was not worth it. If you check Bob's watches, you will find he does not pay close to what a real one costs to buy. They are very hard to sell in traditional markets, The other concern for some is being mugged in a parking lot for your watch. I would rather give up the fake than deal with giving up a n $8000 SUB. People that flash their watches can easily be ripped off.
It's your money. Do what you will. Most of us here can afford a GEN. Many have spent that and more on this HOBBY. Many spend $3000+ to build a real watch saving thousands. I am not that savvy. When I matched my Sub against the REP, I immediately decided to sell it. Made no sense to keep the expensive GEN. I don't worry about where I go anymore with my $300 Submariner and others less"obvious"
Hang around. Make your posts. At 30 days /25 posts, you can wheel and deal. The post count requirement keeps those who would "hit and run" from stinking up the place.
BTW. You can get a nice BLNR for far less than $700. Half that much buys a REP no one can call you out on unless they KNOW what to look for. (hand stack is wrong, but was recently fixed although reliability might be a concern).
I don't buy the latest and greatest. M2M is where I bought my Sub. I am not OCD like many trying to get the best watch with the least flaws. I can live with any flaw that requires a Loupe to see, I don't need 904L SS. There are two goto subs coming out. NOOB V9 and the AFR
smoke is working on with the factory. Those watches will be $500+ I cannot see at this time paying that much for a rep. But who knows. There will be a lot of Used Subs going for sale soon...LOL
another thing nice about reps is they do hold their value. I see people buying $300 watches from sellers who paid $378!! Not a huge loss.
