So I've only just recently discovered and signed up over at VRF (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/vintagerolexforum/index.php). It's a very cool resource with lots of good knowledge and a robust marketplace. I recently got what I think is a good deal on a 6251H bracelet with replacement 62510H clasp - I'll be wearing that with my 1675 build.
But I've started to notice some crossover in user names between RWI and VRF - which got me curious:
- Are there a lot of members with their feet in both worlds, rep and gen?
- Does this mean the appreciation for reps is more pervasive than I originally would have guessed?
I sort of assumed the Rep world was a small one, disdained by the Gen owners, particularly those who have a forum dedicated to Vintage watches worth $100K (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/vin...ograph-daytona-ref-6263-silver-b-t245097.html). But maybe we're all the same, people who appreciate well-designed, well-made vintage watches. Maybe we'd all love to own that $100K vintage watch but until we're in the 1%, we'll build an homage to it and enjoy it thoroughly.
I also got to wondering, what with how good reps are getting and the crossover of membership - how much of the merchandise sold on VRF is legit?
