Rep for teens

[watchgeek1990]

Hello!

What kind of reps do you think fit teens (16-20 years old)?
I'm a pretty young watch guy and thinking about buying my first rep.

What I'm looking for:
- The best possible quality for a rep (im willing to pay quite a lot for it)
- A sport looking watch (for example divers)

What watch do you think I should buy and from which dealer?

I really love Rolexes, but at the same time I think I'm too young for that, or what do you guys think?

Thank you

How much is "a lot"?

How much is "a lot"?

For a rep I would consider that being around 500-700$. Anything over 900 is too much.

Well...I'm a Rolex guy so I naturally think TC first...but the APs are popular with the younger fellas (and older).

Tag Aquaracer 300
Same movement as gen.
Comes in white or black.
Gen is around 2k
Not sure how waterproof you can make it though.

Yea, been thinking about TC. Def an option, but just hate that Rolex is a such a mainstream brand. But for an AP, which dealer do you recommend?

Any of our TDs can get you the watch you're looking for.

Rolex is a main stream gen for sure. But nothing can deny a rolex brand has the best wrist image.

Dont worry about watches. Go bang as many chicks as you can. Then worry about the watch. Bang bang bang

+1 on this TAG

and get a Seiko SKX009 form creation-watches along with it (free DHL-shipping and it´s a gen for diving)

I would go Rolex sub or Tudor pelagos

I think a Tudor is a great choice for a teenager. It gives you all the style and feel of a Rolex without everyone saying no way he's wearing a Rolex. Most people don't know Tudor but we don't wear our watches for others.

Got to agree with Tudor, if you don't like much attention, go with it. If you want a Rolex, I'd go with TC. Can't go wrong with AP either, specially the diver. In the end, buy what you think you would like. Doesn't matter if you're a teenager or an 80-year old. Just be aware of the attention that a rolex gets, so if you're going with it, get a TC

There is no "watches for teens".

I'm 20 myself, and I wear anything I want including gold watches and all..

Just make sure you feel comfortable in your social environment !

A 16 year old with a rolex will scream canal street $10 fake....so will a supposedly 20k AP. You happy with that?

Assuming that some level of recognition from others is important to a 16year old at school .....No one's gonna know what a tudor is...so you might as well be wearing a timex. Is recognition important to you?

I would look into TAG or OMEGA. The gens don't cost stupid money (unlike APs) so it won't look completely out of place on a 16year old.

I'm 23 and no way I would be able to pay $20-30k for an AP but I'm still wearing one because I like it. Point is that no one will ever know what it is and everyone's comment will always be "nice watch" if they even see it on your wrist. I would say perfect rep for a teen is AP Diver, FC for me but ss will do too. Other than that, PAM 111 if you like their look. If not, get one and you'll see what it's all about.

I'll second this, I'm 22 and I wear what I like, not what I could conceivably afford. I've yet to encounter another person in my peer group who even knows what they're looking at, let alone whether it's a rep or not. But then again, I'd also tell people it's a rep if they have the inclination to ask, I'm not sure how most of the other young folks land on that subject.

I'd go for a PAM before any AP, but that's just my own preference
