Incursore Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I have too genuine Pam 196 and 177. I ordered a replica 195. I have not gotten it yet. I am looking around and even though I am purchasing two more Genuine Pams 253 and 217 I have the urge to get a replica 212, 86, 88 and 202. Do most rep owners buy the genuine also or are they only into reps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlaletom Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hello Incursor welcome around. to answare your question lot of usual meber here also have genuine watch (not speaking for the peolple that just find this site to buy a submariner rep and go away). you'll find out that lot of people here are basicaly watch freaks and some of them watch expert. of course not everybody can afford a 196 that goes around 5k€ on after market, but wou will find plenty of base pam /rolie/ omega owner and people collecting vintage or less know quality watch. see ya around ..

I have both kinds. If you appreciate quality timepieces, you can appreciate good reps and well as the "genuine" articles. The lines continue to blur between the two. --Barcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Replica, Genuine, it doesn't matter to me. I keep about 20 or so watches on rotation which are a mix of real and fake. As long as it is a quality watch and comfortable to wear it makes me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incursore Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Thanks for the responses. The 195 will be my first replica and I got it because it was the most obvious. The 212 and 253 I am absolutely in love with but can only afford one. Blue hands win every time. So I am going with the 253. I saw someone post a replica and my heart is beating already. I might get the rep until the gen becomes available. How do I find River's page? I need to talk to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Hi and welcome! I can only speak for myself. I have a nice mix of both gens and fakes. I really don't care if they are gens or fakes, as I treat them the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subseeker Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 It's really a personal preference. I, personally, try to purchase a gen first, then a rep for protection/insurance, etc... You know.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
