All gen owners (at least the ones that visit gen watch forums) feel they belong to an exclusive club.
They have payed premium for a watch, and when they meet in airport business lounges and golf clubs, they can spot eachother by their watches.
They then have conversations about their lifestyle, wich often includes money, golf, yachts and so on. Amongst them their ranks are defined by who has the most expensive watch.
They are kinda the lifestyle freemasons if you could put it that way.
When coming across a site like this they see a bunch of reps they could never spot. They start to thin back about all the polite conversation they have had during the years.
Were some of the conversation pieces replicas?!?!
Were they scammed by people not really belonging to their club?!?!?!
Were some of the people maybe not rich?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!?!?!!
Was that a fake yacht i was on?!??!!?!
As you can see this could spawn absolut paranoia amongst this breed of people.
I could compare rep owners to the really good looking straight guy that goes to a gay bar for a drink.
He may not have a problem with the gay community, but they sure dont want him there :D :D :D
