Has your Pride and Joy ever been questioned...... or have you ever been called out for wearing a rep?

No no one has ever asked. You catch them staring sometimes but I don’t think it is them wondering whether it is a fake or not, just trying to check out the watch, which is what I do to others anyway. Always interested to see what others are wearing as most people are boring and wear smart watches these days.

Someone I know was so impressed with my BK SD43, he wanted to swap his gen Kermit. I had to really convince him mine was only a rep! (Offcourse I didn't do it even though I wanted to)

I’ve always been worried about this, so even though I like a Richard Mille rep or a rose gold Daytona. I wouldn’t buy one as these would obviously outside my price bracket so I tend to wear reps I “could” afford as a result. I have a Tudor Pelagos that I wear most. I do have an AP carbon diver that would be pushing the price bracket but tend to wear this abroad where no one knows me

Never wear a watch you theoretically couldn't afford to buy as a GEN, is my advise. If you're an average chap like me, I could, theoretically, afford a $20K watch, but I could not afford a $200K watch. So don't wear that diamond-crusted Patek if you are driving a $5K car . . .

That's not technically true, i know a billionaire who lives part time in s Penthouse in Frankfurt and rest of the time at lake Geneva. drives a golf. Doesn't give a shit.

And i know a guy who lives in 2 room apartment who drives a Benz AMG and only works for his car and appearances.

So this doesn't mean anything bro.
