Hello all,
I couldn't find a specific thread on this so I decided to make a new post about collecting and talking about the watches that are "plausible", meaning they can be used to fool people around you into thinking they're gen. Also tricks and attitude to pull the watches off and wear them right.
Background is keeping it believable. While AP and Rolex are great, they are hard to pull off and obviously showing up with a $200k Richard Mille or even a $70k Patek Philippe doesn't fly unless you have that lifestyle and status to make people think you have that income. If you're not known to be well-off, people could expose your rep or get suspicious just because it would be too expensive or downright nrealistic.
So my go-to brands for reps right now are Oris, Tag Heuer and Longines. Even a Panerai could be believable but I'm rocking a Longines Master daily right now and it works really well.
What also matters is how you wear it, confidence, matching clothes and overall attitude, I had good success with just acting all humble and saying "ah well I had to save up a long time/work very hard it wasn't easy to buy etc", also saying it's used ("pre-owned") and that I traded some antiques in at a jeweller to get a good deal. Works like a charm to flash people that recognize you allegedly have a couple thousand bucks on your wirst.
What are the best tips to pull off your reps as gen? Any specific watches or tricks to fool your social circle appreciated ????
