Hey everyone,
Couldn't hold my tongue on this one as my first post. He certainly got one thing right because these folks sure do seem simple.
Here are some reasons why I think replicas are a great idea:
1. Fooling people.....or not. I can't think of anyone who sets out to actually fool others with a replica. And isn't that what really makes the whole idea interesting? It's much more of a conversation to discuss how the heck they managed to knock off the gen so well.
2. Tinker time. Is anyone here going to learn about watches by cracking open their gen?
3. Would you rather have one watch for all occaisons or a customized, tailor-made job?
4. Darnit, someone took my watch! At least I get the satisfaction of knowing they'll be [censored] when they find out it's a rep.
5. I'd prefer a bare wrist to a real Casio. And since when is Tissot in the same league as Patek Phillipe?
I'm ordering my first rep when Chinese New Year Ends on Feb 4. It's either a Seamaster Pro or a Noobmariner. Wish me luck!
