Rep vs Gen Ratio

[ChocagoBears]

I wonder that if a majority of the watches I see on people are actually reps. The other day I seen a Rolex President, a sub, and a GMT in the same day. I just said to them nice watch. But to my self I was asking could those be gens. Who knows.

Anybody have any opinions on that.

Gens are noi longer made..

all of the watch houses are now buying reps from our dealers..

the profits are even more tremendous than they used to be!

Of the last 5 rolexes I have seen people wearing, all of them have been reps.

I know this because two of them were very obvious submariner reps which in both cases were worn by people I met for business purposes, and the others (Daytona, GMT and DJ) were worn by people I knew well, and they told me they were reps. The DJ was a hard one to pick though.

My guess is that maybe a quarter to a third of rolexes you see are genuine. I think that this will depend on where you live, work and where you socialise.

I don't know why, but sometimes I just want to say can I see your watch.

:lol: :lol:

A quarter is a very small amount.

I would say

more than half the Subs I see on men that are younger than 30 are most likely fakes.

Well b4 I started buying reps-i have a gen gmt master that i wore everyday. I can be in jeans,tshirt and sneakers,shorts or whatever-no matter what-i had that gmt on. I would get an occasional double stare on my wrist-they're probably thinking it was fake. I really didnt care-as long as i knew it is a gen-its allgood with me.

and

PANERAI...

because of their price point and more exclusive availability,

90% of most panerais i see are fakes.

I don't know why, but I can spot a rolex from a mile away. Its like a 6 sense :lol: Every time I see one its like I just have to stare at it. And I know they know I'm staring. :lol:

If I know a person does not make a lot of dough, I always assume that Rolex's are likely fake, and give them a good look. Some people should not try to pull off a Rolex.

With Omegas and other watches in that price range, I think there are a higher percentage of gens. There are a lot of WIS that will save for years to buy a real Omega.

Most of the guys that are watch guys that I know have gens. Two guys are gen DD Rolex wearers. I wear a gen Datejust, my brother wears a gen OysterQuartz. My friend wears a gen Breitling. Two of my other buddies have two gen Panerais.

I've only run into one rep Daytona. He wasn't a watch guy. It was a gift from a girl. It was a TT Daytona, in which the "stopwatch" hand was really the second hand.

Many of the people I come into contact with wear gens. I think it's more my business, and the area. It's a pretty affluent area.
