Congratulations on your engagement!
I would say, go for the rep. Try it on. Wear it every day and see how you feel about it. If you love it as you do now, go and buy the gen, if it feels "like any other watch", dont spend that much money on it look out for that watch that does make you happy, every day
For the 15400 there are a couple of factories.
BP, TF and JF.
At this moment, JF is the best factory.
But i'm only talking about the 15400. I never saw the chronograph version like your picture repped.
Hi guys,
I remember the day I registed to RWG and it doesn't feel that long ago while this is is actually 4 years ago!
In the past years I've got (way too) many watches in my collection and I always flipped watches just to try the look and feel of the watch.
There are watchbrands that I liked and disliked at day 1. For example:
I was really into the brand Hublot.
I thought Audemars Piguet was't my cup of tea as it was too big or just too much for me.
This completely changed after a while and I didn't like Hublot anymore and I was a serious AP lover.
Same example goes for (vintage) Rolex, Panerai and other brands. Some brands I didn't like at the beginning are growing on me more and more.
What I'm trying to say is that my taste in watches is changing every now and then.
Evolving my taste. Finding out more about watches, brands and models.
Now I'm reducing my collection and go to just a couple of watches.
I'm wondering what's next....
Does it sounds familiar to you?
