nev848 0 Posted March 2, 2014 This isn't going to have a happy ending. So you want to buy your Dad a rep and fool him it's a Gen. What's going to happen when he takes it to an AD when he gets the first issue, Is this just a prolonged way of asking who has the best Tag? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aren 27 Posted March 2, 2014 Yes, you want to change your screen name friend. Welcome to the forum. Are you going to pass a rep off to your Dad as a gen? If so, I don't really have any suggestions. You can get a nice gen TAG on Amazon at a reasonable price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pob 73 Posted March 2, 2014 First of all welcome. And second is do your reading around and don't ask questions like this before you do! In here you can buy reps and only reps and if this is your way of asking if there is a rep you can pass as a gen to someone than the answer is no! There is no 1:1 rep!!!!! All the reps are just that, the reps. I wouldn't lie to anybody it is a gen abd especialy my farher! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myaz 3 Posted March 2, 2014 I wouldn't fool my dad against his beliefs. Thank God your dad doesn't fancy gold Pateks, gen Tags are more affordable. Do the right thing and get him a gently used gen, he's worth it. You can look on Chrono24 (but remember to do diligence: they only list sellers and will have no recourse through Chrono24 if not satisfied) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve AKA Creamedcage 0 Posted March 2, 2014 The way to go is buy a good 2nd hand gen. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevok2305 1 Posted March 2, 2014 So after all your dad's probably done for you he doesn't even deserve a gen watch? As said earlier buy him a nice pre owned Tag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aren 27 Posted March 2, 2014 For new and gently used...you can find a gen TAG on ebay. Buy only from a known and reputable sellers there since you don't seem to know about reps... so you may not know much about gens. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daywatch 4 Posted March 2, 2014 Hi and welcome. The Tag Aquaracer 300m Grande Date is powered by a Swiss Ronda Quartz, gen-like function 1/10 seconds sweep and it´s a 1:1, not worth getting the gen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calcidose 0 Posted March 2, 2014 Welcome, that's a bit weird, for his birthday, and if you father don't want a rep, why would you buy him one ? Maybe you should think to buy a gen less expensive like an Hamilton for example. Nevertheless good luck with your search. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peakpower 0 Posted March 2, 2014 Wow! You want to buy a rep and let your dad think it's a gen?!!!! How about being a man and being truthful to him? Do you not have any respect for him? If you know he won't wear a rep, why lie about it like a little kid? Go buy him a gen. Most gen Tags are not that expensive. If you can't afford new, go buy pre-owned.

Aren 27 Posted March 2, 2014 Look at this page... http://www.ebay.com/...cat=0&_from=R40 Note that many gen TAGs are quartz. You can get gen pre-owned for practically the cost of even a great rep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StormyNight 0 Posted March 2, 2014 Buy him something you can afford and don't be as low as trying to pull the wool over his eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elp 26 Posted March 2, 2014 In case this is confusing, I'll spell it out: for many of us who love/loved our dads, the thought of getting a rep when he would not appreciate one is somewhat distasteful. Go gen (new/pre-owned), get something else, or even nothing but show him your love in other ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duzza 182 Posted March 2, 2014 In case this is confusing, I'll spell it out: for many of us who love/loved our dads, the thought of getting a rep when he would not appreciate one is somewhat distasteful. Go gen (new/pre-owned), get something else, or even nothing but show him your love in other ways. Absolutely spot on. Your Dad is still here, enjoy that.

Kleen™ 45 Posted March 2, 2014 It would be preferable to buy you old man a box of (gen swiss) chocolates instead of rep watch. A pretend gift is a a pretend gesture. Don't... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
