Reps or Gens - Reasoning

[kingair]

I think about this here and there and flip flop between gens and reps. I remind myself to not to take it too seriously and to just enjoy the hobby. It's not ideal to buy a gen of every watch you want to try or imagine yourself wearing so you have the reps to help with that (I can't afford a Richard mille so I'll try it with a rep, for example). But at the same time, there are times where a rep won't do and that's where you get the gen.

In the end I think reps and gens both fall under the umbrella of the hobby of watches and watch collecting.

I agree. One or two gens I feel is sufficient. To have all the watches I like as gens I'd have to sell my house and rent a room somewhere to keep the watches hahaha probably more than that
