I'm not really a fan of the idea of spending thousands on a Yuki or Jewelry and Watch type build either, but to each his own.

I don't think for me, it's ever been so much to fool other people on the street as it is to impress forum members. I like the forums, forum members, and the fact that they appreciate a nice quality build. It's nice to get compliments from other watch enthusiasts, particularly collectors of reps. Plus, I don't think of the really good ones as reps. I think of them more as gens with some aftermarket parts.

In the real world, I learned long ago that almost no one ever pays any attention to what watch you're wearing.
Its so true in the real world almost no one pays attention to what watch you are wearing!
