My advice is to go away and buy a couple of $300+ reps then you'll understand why we buy them, even if (myself included) we also own gen.
All joking aside, I do respect the OP's opinion, I just have a different opinion on this, what matters is that he does what pleases him with reps.
and having a genuine watch doesn't gain you respect. It's your personality, morals and how you conduct yourself in society. What I'm wearing on my wrist does not represent who I am, how I treat people, my personality, and how I conduct myself is what represents me. My watch represents what I like. and I love reps. and am happy to tell people it's a rep too.
Q. Why would anyone purchase a Picasso print?
A. The cost of the original is prohibitive, and there is inherent esthetic value to the reproduction.
If you hang a reproduction of a Rembrandt painting in your home for the express purpose of deceiving others - and with the hope of being personally viewed as something you are not - you are an affected and pretentious knob with little self esteem. If, however, you possess and proudly display the artistic work because its form is beautiful, and it genuinely elicits in you happiness, admiration, (perhaps even) wonder, your fulfilling endeavour is worthwhile and, arguably, even noble. Man's interest in, and pursuit of, that which is esthetically pleasing requires no explanation or apology.
