Okay, I understand your point about a different rolex or maybe an omega. But here is the kicker...
What other rolex? I'm not really into the date just (have one , haven't worn it in 5 years) and I'm not sure about the monaco. As to the Omegas, I like the orange bezel POs. With what research I have done, the 4th generation PO is the way to go. Checking on andrew and joshuas sites... I only see the 4th generation PO in a 42mm. I definately have to have a 45mm. Can't seem to find one.
Also, on aside I have a reason to get the rolex as stated before. I feel like I'm cheating if I get the omega or a diff. rolex. Any arguements why a rep and not the Gen. Other than the obvious price difference. I'm really not trying to be watch snob but there is a whole other world when it comes to the Reps. and I'm just learning about it.
