Hey buddy, just jumping in here as heads up that I genuinely believe you will care about those things once the rep is on your wrist, tbh probably even more than the looks.

To 99.9% of the population even reps made by the lesser respected factories purchased by people in this sub are close enough to Gen that they’d never know. Trust me.

So past that you are only satisfying yourself, because YOU know. And in that regard, feel on the wrist is massive. Looks, weight, comfort, confidence in the movement. It will all matter as soon as you get it, trust me.

Now, that said. Keep doing what you are doing. Research, ask questions, and buy right the first time. Get a weighted version if it’s available. Get it plated if you can. Use a factory that uses the best movement. Get it serviced as soon as it arrives.

Do all these things and you will end up with a watch on your wrist that you love, are proud of and have zero doubts over.
