I like my watches, I have over 40 at the present time, a couple of vintage gens, which I honestly almost never wear.  I love the reps, I like them for the look of them.  All of mine keep time just fine.  I swap watches almost daily so I really do not care if the power lasts for days on end as I will be wearing something else tomorrow.  I just care that I like the look and feel of the watch and that it keeps relatively good time.  Most of my reps probably are not perfect but honestly they feel great, are all very solid watches and on the wrist I doubt 99% of the people would even question if it was real or not, but again, I like them which is all that matters.  I honestly tried the microbrands but most of the ones I own have flaws from being micro brands.  For example my deep blue, in the picture on the website the face was white and the markers and hands bright yellow.  In reality the face is like cream and the hands and the markers are two different shades of yellow.  I still kept the watch, but if it was a rep and people compared it to a gen based off the pictures it would be considered a bad fake, and I mean bad. The case is also very bulky.  So the better reps are at least trying to immitate a beautiful watch, and doing a fantastic job.  Last I would never be able to own 40 gens even if I had way more money than I do.   So who cares, I love my reps!!!

Thoughts on this guy? Looking to buy for a while but can't really find a good comparison... does anyone have notes against gen?

Noob here, really enjoying the back & forth about reps & gens. I own a lot of watches, and buy really what appeals to me, regardless of who makes it. I've had high end watches and wound up selling most of them, due to the maintenance cost. I can afford the cost of a gen, but can't justify it. To me, the best reason to buy a rep is not worrying about banging it up as a daily wearer, or having to deal with maintenance costs. I also don't like having to spend 500.00 for an oem replacement band. I would bet that most gen owners don't replace their worn out straps with oem stuff. Would that qualify them as not staying true to the brand... I don't think so. I look for well known reliable movements and then find the watch that has that. For me, it's not about impressing anybody else. It's the feeling I get when I look at my wrist and see something pleasing. I think anyone should be commended on whatever reasoning for buying the watch of their choice.
