jeffrsho 0 Posted February 8, 2015 I'm curious, I know many of you have a mixed collection of gens and reps. I'm wondering what your first step into the luxury ($1000+) watch world was. For me it was a Tag Heuer Formula 1 Quartz, bought at an AD. Looking back I was so excited to buy it and honestly, I never wore it as much as I thought I would. That rang even more true after finding this forum and the world of "high end" reps. So let's here what your first luxury gen was! Here is a recent shot of me actually wearing it...

stevok2305 1 Posted February 8, 2015 Mine was a Cartier Santos 100xl in SS. Wore it 6 times but just didn't get on with it. That was before I discovered decent reps. Now if i'm gonna shell out on a decent gen i'll always try the rep first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

resistor 0 Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) I've never owned a "luxury gen", as in a VC, ALS, etc, but I've owned a number of mid-range watches, e.g Omega, Breitling. I believe my first mid-range watch was a 3510.50 Omega Speedmaster Reduced. Found an old pic: Edited February 8, 2015 by resistor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

l3wyh 0 Posted February 8, 2015 My first, not sure if it would be classed as luxury was a Tag F1 which I had when I was 15, not sure what I was thinking at the time Was the same as this http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=391045113340 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
resistor 0 Posted February 8, 2015 I'm poor...I haz no gen If you had a gen would you sell it to by a rep of it? I had a gen Steelfish and decided that it wasn't worth the $1500 I paid for it. The Asian SOSF has checked that box just fine for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
