ColbyTrio Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'm sure I won't get any "+1"s for my post but, I thought I would throw it out there anyway. I am really on the fence as to what I should do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColbyTrio Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 'That is the questions'. You've got to love the topic type-os. I swear Im not from Bombay (or Mumbai if you're into that sort of thing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I have owned the Link replica and I've handled the new model gen. The rep is great but automatic more expensive TAGs are extremely well finished. The rep can never reach those details, however the rep Link bracelet is one of the best replica bracelets ever made. Whenever you go to the watch forums you hear that "TAGs are not well finished", etc. That's a load of crap posted by people who don't know what they're talking about, at least when it comes to automatic Link, Aquaracer, Monaco and Carrera. If you have the cash, go for the gen. It's a great, great looker and the lack of AR on the rep always bothered me (although it was accurate for the older model). My 2c.

Thanks for the info By-Tor but you have to forgive me - what is 'AR'? Have you ever owned a rep Link that wasn't serviced? If so, how long? I really want a gen (bad), just not sure I want to finance the $2100. Thanks again for the fast reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I have never serviced my 7750 reps. The oldest one is now 4.5 years and running great. Never had any issues. AR = antireflective coating on the crystal. PS: Why don't you read all my TAG reviews from my section (link in my signature). Good luck!

You are really to get such a good piece, I thought normally a rep with 7750 won't work well after 3 years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 A lot of members here tend to buy the rep to "test drive" the watch for a while before dropping the large expense on the gen. In several cases, they end up not really liking it as much as they thought (although I doubt that would be the case with this particular watch). Why not get the rep, test it out, and if you truly love it, shop around for the gen and then sell off the rep on the board here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiman12 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 If you tried it at the AD and love the watch so much, maybe consider a used Link...they sell in the $1200 range and even cheaper...if your timing is good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
