Why would people get full gold reps when the weight is so drastically different and the gold plating will fade over time? Just curious

Why do people buy cars that depreciate in value?
Why do people buy $1200 cell phones that slow down and lose battery capacity after a few years?
We buy these things because it's fun and we have enjoyment from them.
Enjoy the hobby my friend.

I do it for the same reason I buy any rep - to live the fantasy of owning something I would never buy in gen. I've never owned a gen Sub FG so these feel just like all my other reps in terms of weight and that's perfectly fine by me. No one else handles my reps so the weight of these FG reps is a moot point.

I have 8 FG/TT reps. If you take good care of them they can last a good while. Most of mine are close to two years old and still look brand new.

I put cell phone protective film on all the clasps and two links either side to prevent scratches. It works well. None of mine have any scatches or fading. You can buy pre-cut kits to do the whole watch, some people do this on their gens. If applied properly it's very hard to tell it's even there.

Are these watches you posted two plus years? Good job keeping them fresh.
Where do you find these protective films and what do you even search for.

Yes they are. I keep all of my watches as new.

I cut out the film I used from leftover cell phone sheets. I use Best Skins ever, a product that truly lives up to its name IMO.

Thanks for sharing. I ordered a DIY kit and will probably have to load some new blades in to my carpet knife.

This is a comment you expect from one of the one-watch brigade. When you have a collection you need some 18k too. It wont be a daily watch but will be fun for now and again. Of course the weight is out, but if you are not trying to pass it off as gen who cares? The weight is out on your SS Sub too.

You’ve changed your tune pal. Didn’t you previously have “concerns” about the weight of the Smurf and the lack thereof impacting your ability to wear and enjoy it.
