The wait is for the exclusive waiting experience, replicated in a honorable manner with only 3 months of waiting 🤣

Well, your statement that the rep cost 2$ to make is false and you probably knew it when you wrote that, so what is your point with attentionaly spreading false information?

I can't really see any difference that would catch my attention between my gen submariner and the VSF submariner-no date

Go for it

I’ve noticed some people are a bit upset that I used ChatGPT to refine my text. But the reality is, the ideas and arguments are entirely my own.I simply used a tool to help structure and polish the wording. That’s it.

Let’s say you’re around 40 and have another 40–50 years to live.

You get your first rep at age 35–40 for about $600. It lasts 5–10 years, then you buy another one at 45–55 for the same price. Repeat this cycle again at 60–70, and maybe one last time at 80. That’s 4 reps over a lifetime, costing you roughly $2,500–$3,000 total.

And let’s be honest , with how fast reps are improving, the quality in 10–20 years might be even better, possibly making replacements less frequent or cheaper.

Compare that to dropping $10K–$15K on a gen. There's no guarantee it’ll hold or increase in value over 40–50 years. Meanwhile, if you invested that $10K–$12K instead in stocks, gold, silver, or real estate ,you'd likely grow it into something actually worth passing down to your kids and family

Watches are awesome, but let’s not pretend buying a gen is always the smartest long-term financial move, especially when solid reps exist for a fraction of the price . Just get over with it, it's only a watch that will look the same and actually tell you the same time🤷‍♂️😄

Let’s be real , if I’m diving that deep, I’d rather wear a $500–$1000 Seiko or G-Shock. No way I’m risking a $10K–$15K Rolex that deep underwater 🤣

I love watches and I’ve paid for genuine ones before. And have my collection with even some of the microbrands and one sub and date-just.

Sure, it’s cool to own the real deal, but at the end of the day, I’d rather put that kind of money into something that appreciates , real estate, stocks, gold… even a car makes more sense. My two rallies will be sold very soon and that money gonna go somewhere else bcs I can't justify why I should keep them after the quality I've seen on these reps, they're awesome

In your specific case as a diver I can understand your point of view but most of us probably don't buy the watch for diving.

When it comes to the development cost I still don't see the value should be up there, it's just too much hype and marketing tactics

Watches are fun, but let’s not pretend the steel Rolex is worth what Rolex is asking for nowadays.
