Where I need to be.
Maybe we are living in the last years where the rep will still be quite far from the gen ones, gen owners should enjoy ;)
Until the day replica makers produce watches papers which are accepted and acknowledged by the corresponding brands, it is a fantasy to think that the two are interchangeable. You can achieve an aesthetic semblance of the gen watches yes but if said watch isn’t produced by the brand, it isn’t gen. That is a fact. How “far” or “close” each replica is from gen is subject to interpretation for each owner.

The days of high quality reps are already upon us. But if one desires to own a gen be it today or 50 years from now, the only way is to buy a gen.

That's right, the gen is the only one legit. But the better the rep are made, the less people will care whether the watches are gen or not.

In fact people in general do not care, period. It’s often the rep owner who cares about his, and the watches of others. It’s never about how well the reps are made. It’s about choices and spending decisions, which are pretty individual. Wearing a gen or a rep is often a matter of decision and not necessarily a reflection of actual wealth.
