Interesting topic, Lani.
I expect them to bring small and shiny wonders to my grey lawyers life!
Seriously I just like them to be built well, to be shiny and love the tickticktick of the mechanical movement. While I don't care if they're absolutely flawless in comparison to their gen counterparts I want them to sport the original design, because great watch design is what I look for in the end. This is also why I usually go for very classic models and not extraordinary or fashionable watches: They're usually quite common (like the Rlx Sub or SD), not too busy in design and often not the most expensive when bought gen.
As I earn enough for good quality I look for a little more qualitywise and if I really love a watch design and/or the rep is not up to my standards (like the IWC 3706) I go for gen. I expect the Speedie to be my next gen.
