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.
