What're your thoughts on rep watches, should you wear one? What should you tell people if they ask about it? The $600 ones are now insanely 1:1 with the original, including the movement. I have the funds to go buy a $10k watch right now but I have other things id rather spend it on and the humiliation ritual of starting a purchase history really ruins the experience.
There are 13 watch threads on this board already, spam one of them.
>>18609581I have one. People ask about it, and I always say "It's probably fake. I won it in a poker game from a scumbag senior officer, and I wear it because it reminds of of getting a win on that asshole." I feel like that's a better story than "I definitely paid and didn't take out on credit this $10k watch, which you and I know my paygrade can't afford."
If you can buy and look like you can buy the real thing get it, otherwise don't.Also price in service your watch will likely need sooner or later chinks can leave a mess in the movement.

>>18609581I don’t mess with rep watches, they may look 1:1 on the outside but they consistently fail after 6 months.I say there are plenty of fine 600 dollar watches if you want a 600 dollar watch. And I would also say if you have the money then a 10k Rolex is worth the money, however I would advise buying vintage instead of new, because I they provide 95% of what new provides but at 30% of the price. The only thing you lose really is lume and waterproofing.
