    where do I repair my rep watch?

    as already mentioned in this thread, you should try the repair shop. even if reps might be slightly different from gens, after all, they are made of the case, internal mechanism, dial, and crown. so the concept is more or less the same) I am more than sure that your issue will be solved with the...

    do you care for your rep watch differently from the gen watches?

    I don't know what kind of watches you were dealing with, but I was lucky enough to get myself great reps. indeed, they had small aesthetic flaws. but as for durability, quality, resistance, and functionality - I never felt the need to be more careful with them than with the usual ones. all...

    Ceramic or Steel bezel?

    i know ceramic has taken the home industry by storm. it is a really modern and somehow innovative material. but I think I prefer stainless steel. in getting my watches to last. but the 2 experiences with ceramic beels that cracked in just a sec when I dropped them from a very short height...

    Solid vs open caseback

    first of all, I would orientate myself by the style of the watch before choosing for open or solid... if it is about sporty watches, I think I would not be interested if it is open or solid, but rather I would draw attention to other functions. But if it is about a dress watch with manual...

    Suggestions required

    I wouldn't risk going with a replica to a new job, especially since the environment is quite formal from what I understand. a rep watch would do in an environment of people you already know and you know precisely that your rep will not influence the opinion of those around you... as for a formal...

    How do u change batteries? Beginners

    special kits at the watch repair shops are pretty useful. I don't see the point of having unusual kits. go easy on this and im sure any tool will be helpful just be careful during the process. the movements and all the internal structure are really fine and delicate, but not even made of sand...

    round or rectangular?

    I think you should have what appeals more to your feelings and inner sense. I never get caught up in descriptions like "most trendy/entry level/most sought-after" because I simply don't think that real watch lovers obey these clichés. I don't care at all about scathing reviews on different...

    Complications in watches!!!

    good but incomplete, with all due respect))) I’d also add the Calendar types, which is also a pretty appreciated complication In Watches, and lots of collectors want them IN their watches. Triple calendar- is actually a combination between the day, date, and month all in one, set in a specific...

    Your next watch

    As far as I see, the thread has gone from ”your next watch” to “the watch you want, but will never afford” 😂😂😂😂 If u accept, I’ll also add my 5 cents about a watch I want, but probably will never have, unless it’s a replica. 😁😁I’m talking about the Breguet Classique 5177BB/29/9V6 particularly...

    vintage/preowned/new/replica?

    I think I'd prefer fabulous high quality imitation from all versions proposed above. For this price, I could get a high0end replica Audemars, or `Patek, or Constantin Vacheron. Especially considering that I trust my dealer and i'm sure he will deliver me a decent replica. Vintages can be cheap...
