i thought he was all about HGH. I've heard it can keep you looking young for a long time. Either way he has def put in the work to keep that body. I don't care if it's roids, HGH or anything else I dunno about. You still have to put in the work to get the results. I wish I had the kind of drive that he has at double my age.
That's pretty cool. Maybe take a picture every few months. I'm guessing they will even age in the dealer stock so who knows what color you will get when you order it in a year or so.
I've always made money off of well bought used gens. I've usually lost money on my reps. Both have their places in a collection. I had reps of most of my gens before I owned the gen. Most people I meet cannot tell the difference between rep and gen and those that can and usually amazed at the quality of the reps. Either way I appreciate anyone who can have a conversation about watches.
To answer the question I would buy a gen, but only used and if I can get it for a great deal that I know I can get my money back out on the drop of a dime.
That rotor looks nasty. With all the problems you may want to get something new unless you are wanting to practice a movement swap and have all the tools and knowledge needed. Good luck with it.
I had an EL V3, bomb watch. I didn't mind the wrong bridges as the movement was a stock swiss ETA and then they didn't have an asian option. That was my first major rep. I loved it, but I agree with you that some of these new releases are making old parts that commanded high prices obsolete.
Unless he is trying to pass of a rep as a gen on a sales forum I fail to see why it would be an issue. I don't see the need to call someone out unless they are trying to rip someone off.
