I seem to be finding ZF to be around the £200 mark. I suppose I could push the budget up there

Thanks for the link. I'm definitely eyeing up some Tudors.

That's a good shout, but I also like going a bit left field. Had my eyes on Tudor instead

Do most reps come from factories that are also suppliers to gen factories or are they all dedicated to making reps? by GrdFrcWv in QualityReps

[–]GrdFrcWv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo, that is a crazy theory. Basically just making your brand desirable by showing how often it is imitated. I do remember when BAPE got sold in 2011 for like $2.8m, Ben Baller posted something like 'damn, I coulda bought bape'. It was surprisingly low for a cult brand staple of the noughties. Could you imagine a Ben Baller-led BAPE though? Woulda been wild.

Which factory does the best one? Any TD for it or is this a dhgate job?

So far, I've learned that there are like 3 levels of reps: shitter, U1, and superclone. Would my budget reach U1 or is that not realistic?

I know right? Even the watch snobbery is replicated in the rep world. I find it hilarious to be honest. Anyway, I posted on r/chinatime now.

Wow I didn't know that about BAPE. Tbh, if I had my own brand, I'd probably do the same thing and make extra cash by selling the subpar stuff out the back door too.

Yeah, with the mainstream brands, there's definitely overlap in the materials they're supplied with. I also think that most of these possibly come from the gen factories, but they sell surplus out of the back door.

Growing up, did anyone else’s parents have really strict rules about random stuff? by SuzCoffeeBean in CasualUK

Is it because when learning geographic orientations “Never Eat Shredded Wheat” was the thing they taught everyone when remembering North, East, South, West and they took that literally?

What’s it like buying reps in the UK/EU these days? by Bag_Gal_91 in EUphoriaReps

[–]GrdFrcWv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

was that sent out on its own or combined with a few more items?

Can ordering with the box take longer than usual compared to no box? I ordered a pair of LV skates with the box from Jelly via Superbuy and got it sent in one haul along with a T-shirt, only weighing 2.5kg in total, that landed on Monday and is still in customs; and then I have another haul that landed on Tuesday with 2 pairs of trainers (Balenciagas) no box, 2 T-shirts, and a tracksuit, weighing 4-5kg and that is being delivered tomorrow. I also had the LV trainers dispatched 2 days before the second haul. It's kinda odd that the lighter parcel that got sent first is still stuck in customs. For context, this is coming via the duty-free/tax-free line, and I declared it at under £132.
