I'm not gonna waste anymore time arguing over this. Of course a rep can be better than some cheap gen of another make and model. My point was about a rep vs the same gen. In my opinion a lot of people have a hard time accepting that a rep will not be as good as the gen of the watch and I guess that's ok even if I think it's delusional.
I already apologized for getting carried away and being a bit harsh. I stand by my point of view, though. You calling me names is not gonna change that.
Now let's all enjoy our common passion for watches gens and reps alike.
While I agree with your point about comparing a rep to a gen on quality is laughable, at the end of the day most reps don't even guarantee water resistance. I also appreciate very much those who can afford gen watches and choose to buy them, without them this industry won't exist.
I do however think you're in no position to judge others, at the end of the day you bought a fake watch, like the rest of us, your motives don't justify your action. Also, I don't understand why people have to justify their spending to others. It's your money, spend however you like, for flexing or passion, whatever flows your boat.
