Major_Error Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Try before buy! That is one reason.... A gen has a feeling. But the reps might have a very high quality.... so.... well try one first, then make your decision. And you will also have the possibility to get the one you want secondly, and not want to pay the full price for... ]8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Today, even the watch afficianados can't tell the difference without opening them up. They are great forgeries, at a fraction of the price...........and we get to wear a variety of brands. that's one explanation, but for me it;s either this or drugs.

MusicBiz Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Where do I fit into this gen vs rep thread with my 100% gen Concepta piece? I bought the 3717 rep, v1, modified datewheel, ar, dropped accidentally, sent in to get it fixed, was told that the Asian parts are not as serviceable as the real thing. Wore busted for a while. Decided I love the watch. Contacted Concepta, made a transfer out of bank account...stay tuned for the rest. I will now have a genuine IWC movement ticking away on my wrist for significantly less than the price of new piece. I pride myself on being frugal. I like to have nice things but I never pay retail.

tabularasa415 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 "I never pay retail." "It's either this or drugs." "Sign me the fuk up." I agree with all of these. But, honestly, I have some gens and I have some reps and what I enjoy most out of this hobby is the comradery I get from all you sons-of-bitches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
