graman 2 Posted March 19, 2010 $3280 on reps, $4000 on gens and $1000+ on parts and movements since November 2007...that's the stuff I can remember about...and I've got an awful memory... Mind you, if I wasn't spending it on watches I'd be blowing it on something else instead... Better on your wrist than up yer nose Sconey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PCSAM 0 Posted March 19, 2010 According to my wife 'Too Fuckin' much'. well my wife agrees with his wife .but she said 'Far Too Fuckin' much' i have about 70 ish reps so far ........... ranging from $100 specials to Rather expensive keepers /well all my watches are keepers expert for duplicates i have or come across ///// Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luto 0 Posted March 19, 2010 relatively little then. my current rep collection would be less than $500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AustinTech 0 Posted March 19, 2010 Hum... the math tells me...$2,285 All but three have been sold, sales got me $1,700 back. So I've wasted $585 - not bad for a 2 yr hobby - $24 a month. And I could probably get $265 if I sold the three i have now. So that could take it down to $320, or $13 a month. Shit, I gotta go buy more reps! The gens are what get me...and the watch winder, tools, ect are also tough. Well over $5K on gen stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh sure... The only saving grace is that i spent the money over a period of years, still do the math its several K every year on average. One gen like the Rolex GMT blows it for 3 years. And no doc- I wish it was chump change! i do consider my collection(gens) as a savings acc't. the 3 rollies for example can always be sold usually without any loss from purchase price. I'M DONE- at least for now! jejeje Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted March 19, 2010 True, Noel. Rollies do hold their value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cybee 0 Posted March 19, 2010 All reps tallied and totalled is approx. $1,600. Half of them were non-running and purchased from forum members at a cheap price. I'm a bit of a garbage collector hehe. Still, not a bad price to pay for learning a new hobby and meeting nice people who have similar passion. It's been a fun experience and I wouldnt trade it for anything. ^_^ I wonder how much Pix and that Tanfoglio guy have spent on reps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted March 19, 2010 Over 10 years probably over 100 watches, still have 80+ average price 175=OMFG! I've probably purchased about 75, but sold most of them. The WM9 Sub was supposed to be the watch I wore most every day, the one that would end the obsession. It did, for a while. The key is to not log on to the fora.

trailboss99 997 Posted March 20, 2010 I don't wanna know how much. Probably not as much as I fear however. Think I've spent more on tools than on watches. NF: you count your GF as a gen? Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,355 Posted March 20, 2010 My GF (now ex) refused to wear reps. Only the real deal for her- lucky for me. @ P_Diddy I have 3 gen rollies; 2 DJ and a GMT. I'd like to sell one of the DJ, my ex is dying for it even after I gave her a TT air king. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
