Rep Sighting

[jeff g]

Today I was walking into a local Pub, and walking out at the same time, was a young guy, maybe 23 or 24 yrs old.

Being the WIS that I am, I noticed that the guy was wearing the same watch as I.

A PP Aquanaut with the rubber bracelet. Without a doubt it was the rep 5167.

No don't get me wrong, its all good to see someone else wearing such a nice watch, but remember I am old, I can actually get away with wearing a gen Aquanaut, but this young man did not pull it off.

I had to laugh...not at him, but at myself for being such a watch obsessive goon.

Here is a shot of the watch in question.

Never judge a book by its cover geff, i oftern look like i could not afford lunch!

[DemonSlayer]

Thats what people probably think of me when I wear my Nautilus (those that can recognise it )

[dluddy]

Really...How old were the founders of Yahoo, Google & YouTube when they became millionaires

Early 20's

[monkeypie]

Yeah I'd hate to rain on your parade too op, but the other posters are right.

The other day I saw a young 20 something in t-shirt, shorts and sneakers sporting an Audemars Piguet Shaq O'Neil. I see plenty of young folks with their gen-Daytonas like it was the greatest thing ever.

The date wheels are always trouble on the sport PP reps.

yah, my in-laws have his/her daydates (40K for the gents version) and they look like ordinary folk. Do ordinary things.

People who don't flaunt their wealth are the real wealthy ones (no , not the money wealth)

Yeah can't judge a book by its cover.

I was at the AD last week and a kid maybe 20 at the most was picking up a white gold Daytona with the black and red face after they had done some work to it. He was wearing cargo shorts, a t shirt, and a pair of Crocs.

[If you see Kay]

maybe he was a drug dealer

I pegged one guy in front of me in the cashier as one, based on the typical stereotypes of what one looks like around here. (Not going to get into that..) I even predicted the type and colour of his car he would drive to my wife in private. Sure enough I was bang on.

[Maxim]

Damn, that's a nice watch. I never really liked Patek's until this one!

Same here.

But I don't think any one has ever recognized my nautilus

[fakemaster]

The guy was walking by. So the determination it was a rep was just a wild guess.

[OneMan24]

My buddy owns numerous gen Pateks and a Carrera GT and you'd think he was a bank teller.

[KB]

People often think I look like I have money.........they're wrong too.

They get younger every year...

[totalwise]

The rep scene is pretty crazy, you can build yourself a lamborgnini with a kit costing less than $40,000US

Search for Replica Lamborghini on youtube for more

[trailboss]

I wouldn't call that a rep. poor imitation more like it. My sisters father in law has just finished a rep Lambo, space frame, gen engine and running gear. THAT'S a rep! Mind you, he's also hung a pair of whopping great Garrett turbos off the engine

Retired F1 engineers get bored quickly.

I'm house poor living off instant noodles, boxed potatoes, and tap water but I have a great selection of watches!!

All kidding aside, I've seen some pretty impressive stuff on younger kids here in Socal. They like to bling.....
