Hello people,
I wanna tell you my story of owning a gen Seamaster 300m Blue dial. I just got it days ago, paid $4,700 for it. It looks good, it feels great, but I don't know why I don't feel like I'm on the top of the world? Why am I not obsess with this hard-earned timepiece?
My assumption is because I know how good rep watches can be, and it makes me feel irrational to paid the premium for a thing that also tells the time.
3 weeks ago, I bought a VSF Yachtmaster 42. Although it's a rep, the overall feeling is similar to owning a new gen Omega. I mean when they're on my wrist, it feels equally great, they're both nice looking watches, except one costs $600, and the other $4.7K. What's special for the gen is it makes me question my financial decision, in addition to excitement it provides.
Initially, I plan to save up to buy the gen Seamaster. Then I entered the rep world, and I didn't changed my mind, I still wanted a gen. Time to time, the temptation to try a rep is so strong but I set my goal to get a gen Seamaster anyway. So I ended up buying VSF Yachtmaster 42. I was blown away by the built quality. I never hold gen in my hand but this could easily be my everyday wear, it is that good. I even sent the watch to regulate, now it's running like gen, this is even better!
About a couple days ago, I purchased a gen Seamaster. It was astonishing, the experience at the AD, the service, the watch itself, all the box and cards, the red Omega bag, the process of activating your warranty, knowing that you own this watch 'first hand', the finest of craftmanship is now yours. I came home, visit Omega website, access the master chronometer result of the watch. I can't take my eyes of it, it's so captivating. Yes, you know it, I glance at it very often but do not know what time is it. Then, the day after, the feeling's gone.
The watch becomes another watch. I'm still proud when I look at it because I earned it. Yet, there is one thought in the back of my head, is it worth it? I mean of course, it's way better than a rep. But do I really need to pay that much to enjoy this look?
The purchase did not put me in a difficult financial situation at all, or it's normal for a salary man to contemplate about his choice? especially, when VSF offers you identical piece with only 1/10 of the money you spent, and probably provide you with the similar excitement.
I think I am disappointed that an excitement from gen timepiece is somewhat equal to that of a rep, because rep watches are so good!!! Perhaps, I'm rep guy and should rock the rep, less regret, less expectation. Do you think, in the multiverse, I would still want a gen, even though I got a rep Seamaster already?
