HartDoc Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I have a pretty deep gen collection (Rolex, IWC, zenith, JLC, Omega, Breitling,etc...) but I just noticed I've been wearing only reps for almost a week. WTF !!!! As a matter of fact except for my U1 and my PO none of my gens are currently in my rotation. Its gotten so bad. I have a chance to a JLC master compressor NSA but I just cant pull the trigger because I keep thinking how many really nice reps I could get with the same amount of money. When I was strictly gens it was a whole lot easier. Get a nice watch, save or flip until you get your grail. Now its all about, do I like a watch enough to mod it ? If I mod a watch, how much do I put into it. and so on and so on. For me its not really about passing a watch off as a gen. becuase 99.9% of non WIS wouldnt know and/or care if it was real or not. So now I'm stuck in the rep world and making new rep friends/contacts on a daily basis. But I feel foolish paying for my gen sub when I could've gotten a wm9 sub for a fraction of the price. So my question to you - Is there a cure for my infection ? I heard the only cure is more cowbell.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelizer Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 More cowbell is the only prescription for your kind of fever now mate.. Welcome to the official cowbell club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 More cowbell Indeed. When the rep bug bites...It dosent like to let go. To have a gen collection such as yours....and still be impressed with reps..will I think that says a lot about the quailty of the reps today. I was looking to purchase a gen Omega SMPO chrono...orange bezel...Thats how I happened to find reps/RWG. For the price of the PO...between $3.500-4.000...I was able to have around ten nice reps...several nice straps for my Pams...and also some decent tools....For the price of one watch...I had built up a nice little hobby around me....some great friends.....and a love for the auto/mechanical movement. It's been almost three years now...I have worn my reps on a varitey of occasions...and never had my watch(s) called into question. On the rare occasion when someone makes a remark about my watch.....I say "thanks"...or I tell them it's a rep.......That usually strarts a whole new conversation..lol. So HeartHoc..It looks to me like you're exactly where you are supposed to be.....The only prescription Is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4royOLtvmQ Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmj Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Just enjoy the ride. I too find more satisfaction wearing my reps over my gens. I hardly wear the gens nowadays. My partner has also been infected and is keen for me to find her more reps. Its a great world here so enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
