The Final Countdown: Top 10 tips, secrets and tricks of the rep game!

[If you see Kay]

good post for those who get too anal about replica accuracy and too WISsy.

But I do have one area of contention with your post, and that is about getting a spare watch for parts. For the most watches, one can readily upgrade to a newer and better copy of that same watch if the old one breaks down. I wouldn't replace my Sead PO with a spare Sead PO. I'd just go out and get the 5th gen PO.

I follow some of your advice regularly, such as mixing my gens with my replicas. In fact I have more gen Omegas and franken Rollies than I do replicas.

At the end of the day, it's just a watch.

People tend to get overly analytical (and that's coming from me!) and it can really make people new to the game needless apprehensive. Now, I do feel that people need to know exactly what the flaws of their watch are so that they can make a decision about whether or not they can live with it. Not knowing is worse than knowing, in my opinion.

But while "buying the newest version" may work for some watches, which have new versions, some don't go beyond the first batch. There's more of those than Ultimatest Awesomest Version 10 Submariners around.
