Dropping my 14060M off today with Rolex for service and left wondering why go gen ?
£550 + any parts estimate for service / 6 x week estimated return
Looking around I wondered with exception of anything with gold (still not convinced reps have got there yet) why go gen ? Im still on the list for a Batman GMT and all that's available UK (& far east when recently there) are datejusts and full on gold. Browsing today I couldn't see any reason why Id replace my rep Airking / Black GMT or Yacht Masters with genuine items. I think any steel sports model rep are at a quality now that makes you question buying a gen when you can have a throwaway watch for less than the R services.
Tried on the oyster perp and was considering buying but at £4950 thought Id be better off buying the rep.
My new train of thought is to keep a couple of gens only and then just have a stream of reps coming and going.
Am I seeing the light or way off track ?
