prestigewatchco 2 Posted November 4, 2010 Yes this year they have invited the Rep factories to attend so there will be a huge selection of Reps there great place to compare your rep to the Gen. Some factories from China will be giving free samples as well and all will be charging exact manufacturing cost for watches but only this year to promote the Rep factories from China in Switzerland where their market share is below average Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luthier 1 Posted November 5, 2010 Do they hav Rep´s at Baselworld Why you asking ? Are you not interested in Gens? ...... Nope, I, personally, don't. Waste of money. If I'd interested - I'd visit local ADs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luthier 1 Posted November 5, 2010 Point not in flight time, point is - to me - buying a gen is stupidiest thing ever, if reps are almost perfect, unless you're multimillionaire. When I'll have extra $36,000, I'd better feed hungry kids, still plenty of them around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you are misunderstanding me I think that they are only showing watches not selling them , I am going there because I like watches collect watches and see new trends ideas etc.... When you go to Detroit auto show can you by the custom made cars? ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted November 5, 2010 I don't go to Detroit, I go to Paris Show sometimes, Shanghai Autoshow sometimes, and absolutely every year on Tokyo AutoShow. And YES, I once bought Skyline there. My point was about gen. watches in general. I think it's a moral crime to wear $60,000 watch, knowing, that such an amount of money can LITERALLY save lives of hundreds of children.

I think it's a moral crime to wear $60,000 watch, knowing, that such an amount of money can LITERALLY save lives of hundreds of children. And again I say I am not going to Basel to buy a watch I am going for the fair to see... That's what you do when you go to Paris and to Tokyo you go to see new car model I am going to see new watch models ;-) Or don't go to any of the shows at all save the travel and lodging money and give it to some poor kid who needs it more... What the point of working then? You work for your better tomorrow so that you can enjoy the things of life neither you or me can save the children of this planet all we ca do is contribute. Not in words but in actions. I have have contributed a few thousands so I think that I am allowed to go to some fair.;-) As I have said before I can buy many gen watches I don't find the point in doing so. In Greece we say 1+1=2 all ideologies are simple we make the understanding difficult As we have made such a big deal out of it , I was just asking who will be going as it would be fun to have some one as company, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
