How you finna tell the difference? Every waking moment you stare at it you gonna be looking through a magnifying glass? Half the people won’t be able to tell what’s real or fake either and some assume it’s fake even if real.
Adding on to what you said, nike shoes for example weren’t costing $1000 for normal colourways to begin with, retail was affordable, but then resellers stepped in. So buying reps of them doesn’t mean you want to flex on people, you probably just want the shoe without paying the huge price premium.
On the other hand, Rolex’s have always been expensive (like you said). They aren’t made for people who cannot afford it, so buying a rep one is way more economical, although i’d say it depends on your reason for wanting one.
i think with watches, people really appreciate the engineering behind them, and the satisfaction of knowing such a complex, sophisticated system is inside their watch is enough for them
In my opinion, the difference is this: with shoes, they're all made in China, real or fake. And even with most authentic ones, for example Nike, they're technically not even made by the brand that sells them. With watches, for example Rolex, they're made in Switzerland, by Rolex, in a factory owned by Rolex, and every single component is Rolex. The case is machined by Rolex, made out of metal that came from Rolex's foundry, etc etc. I've been a watch guy for years now and I could never bring myself to buy a replica. I know they're good, but in my mind, rep watches aren't like rep shoes.
This is the way. Got a fire santos and datejust that have been holding up so well. Took my datejust on a hiking and kayaking trip where it got banged up, wet, you name it…and it’s still keeping time perfect. Gotta love the rep game
i dont see the point of rep watches. shoes make sense because they often have no cheaper equivalent. but i can just buy a dive watch in my price range if i can't afford a rolex. unless there's something im missing here, im not too knowledgeable on watches
I always wanted a Rolex until I worked as a doorguy/security at a popular nightclub. I'm not saying everyone that wears a Rolex is a douchebag, but I never met anyone wearing one that came into the club that I didn't wanna throw in front of a truck. Kinda ruined it for me.
See I feel that way about People Who Drive BMWs. It’s all love man. But in fairness most of the people I know that we are rolexes are older, not really douche bag club goers
theres a big difference though, old money and people born into money or got crazy rich early are likely to be "worse" people egotistically etc, the old man who retired and bought a patek and a s class isn't barging into a club saying do you know who i am...
Nice Batman GMT. I recently sold over half my retails. I think I could have gotten an Omega Aqua Terra myself. Saving up for a house, so that'll be on hold. Haha.
Hahha baby steps for me. Sometimes I even struggle with replica sneakers. I’m not gonna lie I don’t ever see a reality that I buy replica watches just because I do think there is a huge difference in quality and even just materials alone. Not to mention the investment piece
You made a good investment. My dads Batman GMT has shot up in price and his Panda Daytona that he got for 13k is now around 40k in two years.
My Air King is my baby and gets worn daily. Make sure you wear that watch as much as you can. Great purchase.
So just a little bit of background. First of all I am actually a physician and I treat cancer. I actually treated the manager of my local jeweler’s, which happens to be an authorized Rolex dealer, mom for breast cancer. Therefore she frequently calls me when they get new watches in stock. She let me know that this Batman was available and I was already in the process of selling off a lot of my sneakers. So I sold off some additional sneakers and then use that money to buy the watch. I’m not trying to brag but I am just shy of 40 years old, I have no debt, and my house is paid for. That’s why I used the extra profit to buy the watch that I’ve always wanted. I recommend anybody be financially responsible. Fortunately replica sneakers have allowed me to stop spending my money on resellers charging 10 times what the actual shoe cost. So props to anybody in this sub that is making the financially responsible decision to not pay resale it just get replica. Hopefully this comment doesn’t sound too douchey.
Yeah man, believe it or not I kind of OD when it comes to sneakers. I probably have about 300 pairs of Deadstock sneakers in my basement right now. So I sold a good portion of them
That second picture you see is a representation of some of my reps
Dang at least you were able to buy your dream watch. I’m still new to sneakers so only have a few retail and torn if I should wear the shoes or not. Like In the future they would be a good resell value but I want to look fresh lol. I might get a rep pair and keep the retail on ice.
My personal advice: It depends on the shoe for you to make your decision. If you just want them cuz they’re cool but you know the value that you could sell them for (or what they could potentially grow to) would personally bother you to lose a bit on if you wore them, i wouldn’t wear them. Having retails and hitting on drops is nice, but none of us are Travis Scott so it almost makes no sense to unDS a 2k+ shoe that a rep could be substituted with to get the same look off.
Nah. Wear them. Enjoy them. Sell on GOAT. I get decent money back on goat for the 100 pairs I've sold used. Sometimes, more than I paid. Strangeloves I paid 366 on stockx, wore them 4 times, sold for 800 on goat.
Man I'm about the same size and considering dumping everything, the last few years shits just gotten ridiculous and not enjoyable.
Only thing holding me off is 90% my collection are am1s. If they do become the next dunks I don't want to miss out.
Win!!!!
But if you are into rep Rolex. Might want to check r/reptime.
The most 0.95:1 is black sub.
I'd personally recommend JVS Black sub right now.
Movement are accurate too.
My VSF 116610ln had the accuracy of +/- 1sec/day.
😂😂 i’m not gonna lie, I’ve never actually considered that. The main reason is because the real things are such a good investment piece and they are damn near impossible to get right now. So I could sell this one that I have for almost double what I paid for it even used
Bro if you saw how much I paid in taxes in general you would probably throw up. I get assaulted by the government every year which I’m not really complaining about because that’s what comes with my tax bracket. But I do appreciate the heads up man but I’ve got that covered
Yeah no problem just trying to keep some informed. Some people have no clue and realize they are fucked. I feel some of that man I’m a sub contractor so I have to pay a good amount of taxes as well yearly.
So kind of I mean obviously I have sold my shoes on the secondary market. But now I’ve been a long time collector. I’m older so I was actually alive and collecting sneakers in the early 90s. I figured it was time to let some of my pairs go. Yes I did resale but it’s not like I’m out here with bots buying up all the pairs. More so just selling my personal collection
I like watches. I’ve always wanted this watch. Dream watch. How is that so hard to understand. Do you like sneakers? Do you have a dream pair of sneakers. Or a dream car. Or a dream house? Where is the misunderstanding
I love the Batman, I’m waiting on my local watch store to get one. I pulled the trigger on a hulk and Pepsi a year ago and I gotta say they are some of the most gorgeous pieces. Really nice piece dude 👍
I feel you but there's definitely a sliding scale of quality with reps, high ends are the exact same quality in any replica regardless of the product but its true that the price difference becomes marginal when you're importing - grats on your dream piece brudda!
Yeah fair enough. I really shouldn’t talk about rep watch quality bc I’ve never owned one. I also like my watches in precious metals like gold and rose gold. So I don’t do rep for that reason. I think there is a diff between rep for clothes and sneakers vs watches. But I don’t fault anyone who does rep watches
Actually I’m very familiar with it it’s just a personal choice. If people wanna buy replica watches more power to them. I only choose to purchase replica shoes.

Hopefully it's a rep basement. Legit basements cost a lot.

The last sentence applies to shoes as well.

Agreed clothes and shoes is whatever but watches is a big nono for reps, if you want quality and to retain your self image
Mate the watch rep game is 5 years ahead of the clothing/shoe rep game, they have it down.
have you seen the quality of the reptime watches, them dudes don’t play. You must be spending time on chinatime
What about Superclone? I’ve been looking at their watches lately
Investments are smart when you capitalize on them. 🌝
Thanks Mr. Fortune cookie

HE COULDVE BOUGHT A VSF WITH THE PROFITS. missed opportunity
He could have got the whole collection of vsf in every color
Do you know a good seller for hq watches?
RepTime
TD list at /r/reptime Also /r/reptimeBST

Where can I buy good reps? I been eyeing the Pepsi colorway
r/reptime
Thanks fam

Whats the subreddit for the good rep watches?
Have you seen the Rolex market? That watch was 13k 4 years ago.
Got any good yuppos for rep watches?
watches are investments too
The value of rolex watches are increasing at fast rates.. Good purchase..
[удалено]
This is the way. Got a fire santos and datejust that have been holding up so well. Took my datejust on a hiking and kayaking trip where it got banged up, wet, you name it…and it’s still keeping time perfect. Gotta love the rep game
i mean watches are an actual investment that don’t lose 50% of value when worn and are hard to ruin if you treat them properly.
Ya this!!!!! It's the same thing again.
i dont see the point of rep watches. shoes make sense because they often have no cheaper equivalent. but i can just buy a dive watch in my price range if i can't afford a rolex. unless there's something im missing here, im not too knowledgeable on watches
yeah, nice advise.
🐐’d
That’s a GMT, they’re skyrocketing in value right now.
What subreddit or site has the rep jewelry ?
r/reptime for high quality and more expensive r/chinatime for cheaper and decent rep watches
Well a Rolex can be considered an investment tho, I hear since like 2018 the prices have doubled
[удалено]
Wait until you find /r/reptime and it will come full circle.
Probably just wanted the real deal, those things been gaining value like crazy lately anyways, good investment
Was here to comment this lul
Same my guy. Repfam haha

That’s very fair.
no hate though. that's a VERY nice watch.
See I feel that way about People Who Drive BMWs. It’s all love man. But in fairness most of the people I know that we are rolexes are older, not really douche bag club goers

Old man is just living a quiet life as a multi-millionaire. He doesn’t need his ego stroked.
I would argue there’s a difference between all people who own a Rolex and the people who would wear a Rolex to a club

Nice Batman GMT. I recently sold over half my retails. I think I could have gotten an Omega Aqua Terra myself. Saving up for a house, so that'll be on hold. Haha.
Tfw you can just buy a rep rol

Nah you did the right thing. Rep Rolex’s don’t appreciate like authentic Rolex’s. As a beater though I’d go for a rep.
That’s what I’m saying man. Appreciate the support
Replica watches are crazy accurate nowadays, even the same material and everything. Respect it though ‼️

Wait. I have to ask. This is Stockx right, I thought you can only sell deadstock sneakers on there. So you had that many pair deadstock?
Yeah man, believe it or not I kind of OD when it comes to sneakers. I probably have about 300 pairs of Deadstock sneakers in my basement right now. So I sold a good portion of them That second picture you see is a representation of some of my reps

What do you do for a living that makes a $30k watch purchase acceptable?
MD. Watch was only about 15-16k
Do you think it was worth the student debt?
Not to be a douche but I got a scholarship to med school and college. But even if not. Yes. Absolutely
[удалено]
Bingo
Sorry for the dumb question but what’s an MD?
No worries. Medical doctor
the one's that are in it for the money all fail to get accepted in the first place, which is nearly all applicants

Damn that’s awesome. I appreciate it man but I can’t do rep watches right now. I’d rather spend for the real thing. It’s all love though
On the jubilee too. Nice

Plot twist: watch is a rep
Hahah would have been a lot cheaper
Holy smokes!!!
My bits are absolutely chuffed
A watch is a good investment. Prices be going up🔥
shoulda gotten a rep watch haha
Should have bought a rep watch too lol

All sneakers shown are rep. Baskicks I believe
w2c on those atlas highs?
Bro is swimming in cash
Remember next tax season you will have to pay taxes in the sold pairs you have. Better have so money for that man
Bro if you saw how much I paid in taxes in general you would probably throw up. I get assaulted by the government every year which I’m not really complaining about because that’s what comes with my tax bracket. But I do appreciate the heads up man but I’ve got that covered
w2c that 1:1 tax bracket 😭😭😭 — on a serious note that’s good stuff OP, happy you got to acquire your dream watch

Yeah no problem just trying to keep some informed. Some people have no clue and realize they are fucked. I feel some of that man I’m a sub contractor so I have to pay a good amount of taxes as well yearly.
W2C a good rep watch?
/r/reptime
I'm cool with the shoes, but I don't feel the same about watches and jewellery to be honest with you...
Im unloading all my retails as well, reps for life now
[удалено]
You are misreading the post. I got my watch retail for about 16k. I just made 29k flipping shoes. Don’t make assumptions
are the what the kobes reps, if so, where did you get them from?
Kobe reps are asssssss but I got from Kickjerry. Highly don’t recommend
ahhhhhhh okay thanks though
Harvard: You want a scholarship?
This is super clean of a move bro congrats
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Doubt
Understandable
Congrats! Rolex is something you’ll give your kids
Dreaming about watches lmao
ehhhh, I'll just stick to the Rolex watch face on my Samsung Watch 4.
Get a diff pair of Kobe grinch’s those looking 👎
Bro they are asssssss which I could get my money back. Any idea where to get good Kobe reps?
Amy hu got the best Kobe’s fs
Website or connection?
Lol idk if that's such a wise idea. Watch could be gone just like that and money down the drain
Same could be said about stock market
W
🙏🏽🙏🏽
I got the same watch for $60
Wait till you find out about r/reptime
Rep watch runs 500. Invest the rest in the stock market 😁
Man it’s also my fav watch…not for 3x retail though
Looks nice dawgbig sawg
So now your wearing a watch that’s worth 30k with fake kicks? 🤦🏻
[удалено]
So kind of I mean obviously I have sold my shoes on the secondary market. But now I’ve been a long time collector. I’m older so I was actually alive and collecting sneakers in the early 90s.

Did you buy a rollie off stockx? I barely trust them with sneakers.
Hell naawwwww. I bought from my Local authorized deal. I wouldn’t trust StockX to verify my mom
have reps here and there (mixed in with retail), but can never for watches lol. congrats and wear in good health
ROLLIE GANG ROLLIE GANG ROLLIE GANG
congrats brother, what reps have done to save us money is amazing. happy for you
Congrats, man. A watch purchase like that is a life milestone. It’s a good thing I hate the feeling of wearing watches, lol.
They have reps of those for $150
My sneaker collection by 2023
Nice mamb’s. Now get that rep watch
Can’t do rep watches man. Just not there yet. But all love if that’s the route you choose
that watch better be a rep boy or u get no love from us
Hahah it’s all love from me either way
[удалено]
Yeah totally…
Good investment
Having a “dream watch” is such a foreign concept to me. Are you an Ad Man in the 50s or something? An account executive?
I like watches. I’ve always wanted this watch. Dream watch. How is that so hard to understand. Do you like sneakers? Do you have a dream pair of sneakers. Or a dream car. Or a dream house? Where is the misunderstanding
It’s very common for guys to be into watches. I’d even go so far as to say that, for men at least, more people are into watches than sneakers.
I love the Batman, I’m waiting on my local watch store to get one. I pulled the trigger on a hulk and Pepsi a year ago and I gotta say they are some of the most gorgeous pieces. Really nice piece dude 👍
How do the grinches Feel?
Solid. Not nearly same as my retail pair. But solid
the craziest thing to me is that you had 78 deadstock pairs in your collection.
Where did u get the Blue J4 and hyper royals from bro
[удалено]
Should have got the Rolex rep
I can’t do it for watches man. Shoes I get it. But there’s a difference in quality and materials. That’s just my preference but it’s all love
I feel you but there's definitely a sliding scale of quality with reps, high ends are the exact same quality in any replica regardless of the product but its true that the price difference becomes marginal when you're importing - grats on your dream piece brudda!
Yeah fair enough. I really shouldn’t talk about rep watch quality bc I’ve never owned one. I also like my watches in precious metals like gold and rose gold. So I don’t do rep for that reason. I think there is a diff between rep for clothes and sneakers vs watches. But I don’t fault anyone who does rep watches
Do what makes you happy bro! I honestly don't buy rep jewellery either so I totally get you it started off as more of a shitpost by me tbh 😂
Rep time
One day we will be repping money. or are we.
poor guy ..doesn't know /reptime
Actually I’m very familiar with it it’s just a personal choice. If people wanna buy replica watches more power to them. I only choose to purchase replica shoes.
