As a new member and admirer of fine watches I am about to make the jump into Rep collection. I love the idea of getting the style of watches that I love without the price tag. House, wife and kids limits the amount of 5 to 10 thousand dollar watches one can buy!! Through reading and searching the board the one last question I have is what should my expectation of a Rep from a reputable dealer be? Fully understanding QC means everything is a gamble should a $300 Davidsen last a year or two with daily use and gentle care? I don’t mind spending that type of money with the hope, (but no guarantee) that the watch could last several years. At the same time though $300 would mean if it crapped out in 6 months I would be wearing a very nice looking totaling nonfunctioning watch for another 6 months or back to square one tossing out another 3-4 hundy.
Lastly I am down to the 111h or the 177h from Davidsen I would appreciate any thoughts as to which would be better for a noob. I had highly considered and been advised to go with Joshua (testing the rep water with a 1-2 hundred dollar watch) but am leaning towards Davidsen because of the Mods and Lume that comes with the watch. Thoughts and feedback always appreciated.
