  1. It doesn't matter if you have a rep that is 99% accurate to a gen, it just doesn't feel right. Wearing a gen, you know in your heart that its real and you just have that confidence wearing the watch. How many of you guys would wear your rep to an AD and roll up your sleeves? Its the feeling you have wearing a nice gen that you worked hard for and not afraid to show it off.
    I wear mine into AD's all the time :)

    Also I'm assuming when you are using the word "you" in this paragraph you are really saying that's how you feel and not making a generalized statement about others.

    I love wearing my gen IWCs, Zenith, GP.... etc and telling people about the watch and the history of it. I can't do that with a rep and a straight face. I only buy reps for watches that I would NEVER purchase a gen of. (Panerai, Omega PO....etc...). I like to wear them casually.... and nice to keep as part of my collection and have a nice variety. But if it's a watch you genuinely like and want, buy the gen.
    Again I love to wear my reps and tell people about the watch, quality, price, etc. I even start to talk about the "flaws" (which pretty much anyone who isn't a WIS would never have even noticed) and how they can be modded/fixed.
  2. The way I see it anyone with $4k can walk into a Rolex/Panerai/Omega etc. AD and buy a gen. There's nothing to it. When it comes to reps you really have to do your homework and up your education to make sure you are not getting screwed. It really turns into a search for knowledge as opposed to a search for the nearest AD. Besides especially with Rolex even if you have a gen many people will still ask/think that it's not real and the conversations with those people after you tell them it's a rep are much more fun than if it was gen.
