If you’re saving money and only a year away from the cash to buy a gen then I would wait.

I’ve owned Franken watches and they are amazing but you still want the genuine even if they are almost visually identical.

A year is not too long and the satisfaction of buying the gen with hard earned money will be great.

Superfranken will hold the value - and also the market here it’s waaay faster than the gen market so you are not going to take a big lost in case you get the franken and selling it to grab a gen.

If you are a one watch guy get the gen (no doubt) but I think it will be nicer if you keep saving while wearing your franken

I would wait for a year and grab a gen. Nothing beats the feeling of wearing a gen, I mean don’t get me wrong, I have a bunch of reps and love wearing them as well and have never been called out. It’s just that the satisfaction and happiness I had from buying me own gen watch was never beaten.

I happen to own a gen 114060 and a superfranken 116610ln - to be honest, I prefer the franken. I feel much more comfortable wearing the 3k franken than 9k gen. Even if I get totally wasted and lose it, it's much better to lose a franken;)

I can understand from you guys the superfranken it's holding the value as gen , I'm going ahead to have superfranken ( all parts it's gen except the case and bracelet) , and it's hard to find superfranken dj 41 for example, it's my favorite guys , I have some gen watches and some replica, believe the replica (super lone) I feel more comfortable and I be active as I wish ( not give a care of I scratch the watch case) hehe

Cheers

my franken 114060 is all gen besides movement, case and bracelet. very comforting to know if it got real beat up you can swap all the gen parts to a new case and bracelet for around 500 bucks. It's kept me from going gen. Afraid I won't wear it anymore.

Either gen, Or very googd rep. , nothing in between. I dont believe that you wont lose money on a superfranken. As soon as it gets expensive, it gets hard to sell a franken. Once on your wrist, you dont see any difference between a good rep and a gen. But the feeling wearing the watch is completely different, believe me. If you have to save one more year to buy the watch, it will be a very special feeling once on your wrist, which a franken never can provide.

Everything but ****** is gen is still NOT gen. Even if no one will ever call you out for wearing a replica watch, which is the main fear that gets people heading down the superfranken path, YOU will still know it is a rep and the satisfaction of wearing a gen is completely different than wearing a rep. The only real justification for a superfranken is if it is a watch you would never contemplate buying as a gen. However, if you really intend to buy the gen, then what is the problem with waiting another year ??? Besides, a superfranken of a Rolex is going to set you back 3-4k these days and that is a lot of money spent on an item which is still potentially worthless to everyone ( in real terms ) except a very niche target audience ( people on rep forums ).

A gen. Will,raise in value and can be sold everywhere, Ebay, Chrono24, Jewellers, Pawnshops, everywhere, anytime you need the money. A Franken can only be sold on a rep. Forum, and as laws are changing these days ( at least in Germany they are preparing new laws for copyright infringement), maybe selling a rep. Can become a serious crime very soon, you never know. In this case, your franken will not only be illegal to be worn , but impossible to sell.
