I started out with a Gen SMP then got a Gen PO after trying the rep.(and [MENTION=5955]R2D4[/MENTION] suggestion, which I thank him each time I wear it )

I tried my first rep TC sub which led me to a a high value tt sub Frankenstein, that then took me to a gen GMT, shortly after a gen SubC LN.....missed the high value tt and said I'll get the best of both worlds - I went with a gen tt SubC [emoji106]

I figured you already had a gen 116610 - given you were looking for one some time back (and dodged a bullet on the deal).

it was a 114060 and I'm still on the hunt. Ill probably buy it at an AD but $8k after taxes does not excite me.

116610 LV, GMT-IIc, platinum ym, 116613, couple of UN maxi marines. Love my gens but have to say that the build quality on some reps is good enough that they get as much or more wrist time than the gens. My noob sub-c and BP BLNR get a lot of wrist time.

Most of my watches are gen now a days but still love the rep game and have a couple of nicely modded ones and genstein IWC, always on the look out for well modded watches to add to the collection and enjoy getting watches modded, seeking out the parts, getting them modded and watching them evolve like I did with the IWC, somehow more enjoyable that buying a gen at times

I own 2 gens at the moment, gen 14060 and gen sky dweller. A lot of reps. This is the only pic if have of the whole collection.

Thinking of selling all the reps and buying one more two tone gen. Or maybe just get rid of sky dweller for 3 gens? Lol... A lot of them don't get a whole lot of wrist time but all of them have minimum gen bezel, xtal, crown and are great reps.



post some close ups of the sky dweller! That watch is pure art, especially the movement and complications. It's my dream watch.

No gens for me at this point in my life, but I will get one eventually!

Gen Rolex 116610LN and BLRN for me. I also own some other brands, my last purchase was a Limited Edition Breitling Navitimer 01 Panamerican. Love that watch! My signature isn't up-to-date any more, the list expanded a bit :laugh:
