Excellent point. My first reps were all basic reps with Asian ETAs. As I explored this hobby more, I realized that a few mods add an enormous amount to the overall feel of the watch. Some of the items I see in the for sale section simply blow me away at times and if I had more money to spend, I would probably buy a Ton of the Franken that I see. They look Nd feel amazing.
But again, to each their own. To those who prefer to own a bunch of 21j, so be it. As long as they're happy, we will continue to strive for something more.
I'm off to enjoy my Frankens.
