Eternal Dilemma : Go for the best homage or buy a second hand gen watch?

[panasol]

I'm facing a dilemma here...
I decided to narrow down my collection from 9 rep watches to 4 in order to afford a holy grail of mine..maybe the best 3646 out there with a Gordon's case and a serviced 320 movement etc etc...
I've been in the rep community for almost 3 years now and it's by far the best one I've ever seen..the price for this beauty is very high but with some cuts here and there , I can afford it.I sold 2 watches , I will sell 2 or 3 more and I'll be able to raise my budget...

Here's come the "problem"..with that price tag , I can buy a second hand gen navitimer breitling or a gen used corum bubble or even a graham watch(all these used for 4 or 5 years)...Or even a brand new Enzo Machana watch.....

which way would you choose?which path would you take....?

Get the one that means more to you. Don't go gen for gen's sake.

Some of my project watches mean as much to me as any genuine watch I have.

Hi,

I have only one DSN 111 homage and just got a new TC 16610lv. I'm already thinking to get a gen 16610. Because no matter how good the reps are, sorry to say that, but they stay reps and will allways know this. So in your case I would go for one nice gen and have it for life.

Cheers from Switzerland

thanx for your replies guys...

 

I still haven't decided what to do...

I'm closer to the 3646..believe it or not , it's gonna be easier in the future to sell it than the breit or the corum...plus , it's one of a kind...no second will be made..at least not with those specs...
