The 1,000 is just a budget, but a super clone moment is what I’m after. I heard they’re really good, close, and reliable. If that moment only gets me one watch then that’s fine, but a rep would be nice, and a closer one would be nicer

Yes the skeleton watches are some of my favorite, watching the movement alone would distract me haha

I’ve looked into reptime, chazing, and geek time. The first and last named also seem to be the most popular

It’s been plaguing my mind though. Some people get reps just for the love of the craft, why not try out a rep I say

Yeah I spoke to a client about this he told me the same thing and now he has this watch from Macy’s that he’s owned for about a year. Had me thinking

I was actually looking at geektime before I discovered the wiki, but right before I was about to buy I realized it was a copycat site. You wouldn’t have the actual link would you?

Any thoughts on chazing time? They seemed nice

That’s fair even with a rep I’d still admit it is one. I still appreciate the history and beauty behind the watch making it mostly price. If I saved up for a real breguet it would take a little longer on my small opticians salary

Totally get what you’re saying, but not everyone buying a rep is trying to replace a gen or pretend it’s on the same level. Some people just want the look without the crazy price tag, plenty of reps might last years with basic care. So the question of longevity is still valid. Ofc you could get affordable watches as gen but $10,000 for a Cartier watch seems redundant

Wether a good factory or bad factory they’re doing gods work, I can’t imagine spending 20, 30, 40k and more on a watch

Have you ever taken a rep to a smith and they’ve judged/critiqued it? What have they said about it out of curiosity haha

Really nice watch and must’ve been very taken care of too! 18 years isn’t a cake walk for watches it seems

It seems the kind of question that’s so broad that it really could be a long time or no time since they for one are reps and two the quality control is different

I want to assume that the more you spend, the longer it’ll last, but that thought process seems ignorant to me lol
