bruce79 Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks for the kind comments. This is indeed what I sold my entire collection for...a "T" series Submariner with ALL of the accessories. Good ol tritium dial resting in a lug holed case...a classic! Fortunate for me I was able to procure this beauty indirectly from the original owner so it came with everything: Outer/Inner Boxes, booklets, papers, polishing cloth, tag, & anchor...the whole package. Nothing compares to the gen! It's funny though, I almost need to learn how to wear a gen...I still find myself thinking I'm still wearing rep...you definitely carry yourself/wear your watches with a different attitude when your wearing rep vs. gen. On a sad note, an opportunity has arisen for me to purchase an F series SD...the SD was my initial choice but I just could pass up an opportunity to own this sub with all the trimmings. So once my SD arrives, this will be going up for sale. I cannot afford to keep both. But I will enjoy it for the time being! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 It takes 2 weeks to start collecting the reps again. Mark these words. I thought it'd be exactly the opposite, but after I got my first gen Rolex I started to appreciate the reps even more. Imagine that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it'd be exactly the opposite, but after I got my first gen Rolex I started to appreciate the reps even more. Imagine that! I feel you...I'm definitely not out of the rep game although I don't know about 2 weeks. I had to liquidate my collection to fund a gen as I did not want to put it on plastic. However, it should be a lot more enjoyable collecting reps knowing that I've got a nice gen too...that I'm sure of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Glad I could help!" ... he types while wearing the 3717 from Bruce's collection ... All kidding aside, this one is a beauty. Wear it well .... even if it's just for a short time.

I love and appreciate my gen and will never part with it. Owning 1-3 gens is great, those "dream and grail watches". Sub is the grail for many... and I completely understand. It's the legendary watch after all. And then there's no need to endlessly search for the "Perfect Sub" anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Beautiful watch Bruce. I think it's definitely worth holding on to- maybe you could put the SD on the payment plan and have two gens. But I love my reps- they're beaters, and I try not to wear my gens when I'm out playing 'rough'- which lately has been most every day!
