Just enjoy the ride. I too find more satisfaction wearing my reps over my gens. I hardly wear the gens nowadays. My partner has also been infected and is keen for me to find her more reps. Its a great world here so enjoy.
I paid top dollar for my all black lefty (Paris) which is now getting some works done up in Canada. I think the V1 all black with black on grey datewheel is worth every penny. One of the things you will need to do is mod the dial markers into matt black.
