rhouston8080 0 Posted March 27, 2013 That's what I'm saying! It's art for people like us. I don't wear 1 submariner and try to trick people. I'm actually wearing an Orient watch right now, but when I get home I'm going to look at all of my watches and smile. Hell, I'll probably change watches 3-4 times before bed alone, and ONLY my wife will see. But I promise she won't even notice! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fragzzone 0 Posted March 27, 2013 For some it is a lifestyle, it is a matter of taste and feeling good. One thing is how much you can pay for a watch and another is how much you want to pay for it. IMO reps provide style at a fair price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gyddyp 0 Posted March 27, 2013 i wore the same casio for about 15 years and never considiered buying a rep until i borrowed my sons rep submariner. can't explain other than as fraggzone just said... style at a fair price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waynu 23 Posted March 27, 2013 Very thought provoking question...I think you covered the answers throughly. I have a great job and have money to buy a nice gen and have bought a few in my day. BUT, I would never spend money on one of each Rolex, A Lange Sohne, Audemars Piguet, Tag, Omega, Pam, PP, Cartier etc etc etc...I can do that with a Reps! I can choose to wear a very cool watch that goes perfectly with any attire or situation I find myself in. I don't try to "trick" anyone but if they say, "Hey nice watch." I just respond with, "Thank you." I'm with jC39. yep - agree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhouston8080 0 Posted March 27, 2013 The important thing is that you like watches. The reason you like them is not that big of deal... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RussP 22,534 Posted March 27, 2013 Interesting question: I've never owned a rep until I signed up on this site. Now, there's no looking back. Speaking purely for myself, I use a wristwatch as an accessory to what I wear that day; and have made (RWG) my purchases accordingly. I'll continue the buying spree for as long as I'm able to.............or as long as my wife tolerates it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mechwarrior 2 Posted March 27, 2013 imho there are 34.000 different opinions about buying replica on this forum ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stenchlord 0 Posted March 27, 2013 It's really only hard to articulate if you feel you need to justify the reason why you buy replicas. I don't feel I need to justify it to anyone, I buy these watches because they're something I want. If I didn't want them, I wouldn't buy them. Whether or not we can afford to buy the genuine versions and whether or not we're willing to spend it is our own volition and no one elses. If people don't understand this then that is their problem.

JasperB 0 Posted March 27, 2013 I think it's a 'collecting' thing. I collected vases before this, but only those made between the turn of the century (1900) to the mid 1920's, and only British. Before that I collected Guitars, now I collect rep watches (I have 7 Gens as well - but none of them 'luxury' watches) I will get tired of this, my track record is clear on that, but meanwhile I like it. It's a hobby like any other, there's no psychology in it at all. I tell people it's a rep and I could not give a monkeys what they think of that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P4GTR 0 Posted March 27, 2013 Because IMO the majority of these "rep" watches are an accumulation of parts made from the same factories that make genuine swiss luxury watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dasselin 16 Posted March 27, 2013 This is my first post so go easy on me. I like rep watches because I can afford them. My sister is very "not rich" and I would not be able to sit and enjoy a $8k gen while she is worried about money for Christmas gifts. That being said, I also think that most "luxury" watches can be far MORE attractive than EVERY Kardashian or any other idiot "pop culture icon" that plenty of people worship, or dream of being like, all day long. If only just to look at them in a case in my home, in that minutet, I can find myself more entertained than in an hour on TV or 2 hours of a movie (except Bond of course). They are tiny little peices of perfect art to me. There is only 1 "Mona Lisa", but how many homes have a rep of it on the wall? Does anyone actually think it to be the "real" one? Hell no! If you have a "copy" of Van Gogh's Starry Night, you have "great taste", but if you have a rep Montblanc you're a "wannabe"?!?!?! It's art and beauty and I WANT TO HOLD IT!!! That is why I buy them. I love your thinking a reproduction of a Monet in your living room and you have taste But a Rolex and you’re a fraud…. Love the analogy.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
