palhaco02 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hi!! I just got a rep of Patek Philippe Sky Moon Turbillion. PP Sky Moon My reasons were: 1) I love the watch. The details are fantastic even though not "perfect" replication. 2) I acknowledge the art in PP's masterpieces 3) I could never afford an original 4) Even a gen holder would wear a replica on the street (many holders of grand jewels have perfect replicas for display) If I'm asked by someone , I will chat about it and show these reasons. Wouldn't it be even worse if you presented yourself as a real rolley owner only to find out that the other person was staring at the replica's faults? (they all have them, you know?) If I see a rep on someone I will ask about the watch saying something like: "Nice watch...". I would be very disapointed at someone who would try to trick me into thinking that a rep was really a gen. But as some comments made me to believe that some people in the forum were/are (I think) trying to create a lowcost personna, I would like to question the other members: Why do you have reps and why do you wear them? Are you in fear of being pointed out in a serious situation? Do you trick yourself into thinking that no one will see the diference? (being just 99.99% right) Comments are welcome fellow watch lovers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfreeman420 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Maybe trying to justify themselves to purchasing fake watches, making themselves feel better. Oh the guilt of that first replica purchase.....LOL @palhaco02: Nice choice for a your first purchase, a replica of a $1,000,000 watch. At least its not a black sub.

krustybrand Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I think it's low self esteem and poor sense of value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well besides that, it also helps get hot women Mostly at the tittie bar. Women there have a magnet installed that atracts them to Rolexes. Especially with lots of bling.

morgan Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Funny thing - I never ever relied on a watch to get laid. JTB Two things women look at are a man's shoes and watch. Neither will get you laid but they do change how you are perceived. Panny = non-conformist Omega = practical Breitling = playa Tag = golfer Rolex = poser ok.. i made that up.

Man that's the perfect reply... I buy reps because I love searching for them, make them better, doing frankens, everything. Buying a gen is too simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnboy777 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Man that's the perfect reply... I buy reps because I love searching for them, make them better, doing frankens, everything. Buying a gen is too simple ...too simply, and too costly! I think the reasons for owning reps vary per individual. A lot of it for me is the fun of the hunt, and owning something very close to the gen in design. I am not into fooling anyone, or having the 'perfect' rep, but that's just me.
