relaxman Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 When I see the pictures of the pretty reps I usually purchase them only to later purchase the genuine. Does this happen to anyone else? I would think if this where the norm, genuine watch manufactures would love reps. I like to purchase the reps but find that I don't wear them in public much for fear that I might get called out to which my reply would be "I have the real one at home" to which their reply would be "sure you do" lol. Here is a pic of my genuine and reps pictured happily together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikellem Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Nice collection Matt! Actually, since I have been collecting reps for the last 3 years, I have sold my Rolex gens... I find our reps today are of superb quality, and 95% reps work great for me... This way I can have alot more watches! -MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey R Actually its a 16753 (1984-85) fresh from Rolex service. I f-ed up however. It had the matte finish dial I was told that it would be replaced with the same dial WRONG it now has the gloss dial. Made me mad. It is my favorite of the bunch. It looks so nice Im afraid to wear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
