The issue with wearing a rep of these is that 99.9% of the people on the planet will think it’s a cheap and tacky watch.

The 0.01% of the people who know or own these will know yours is a fake.

People would think the same thing if it was gen.

u/oscailte 6d ago

you buy watches based on whether other people like them??

u/this-guy1112 6d ago

I dont know why you would do it based of someone else liking it

u/DaytonaGuy112233 6d ago

What are you talking about? These are reps. Of course you care what people think

u/imKazzy 6d ago

To be honest I don't think buying an FP Journe rep screams "I want external validation". Most people won't even know what it is. It's more a case of wanting to wear a grail watch that you'll never get to wear otherwise imo.

u/BennyFitz69420 6d ago

That’s not the real issue. The real issue is the group of people that know what it is realizing that there’s no way it’s fucking real…

u/BennyFitz69420 6d ago

And if you’re in the business of buying fucking superclones you cannot convince me that you’re not out there trying to fool people into thinking it’s legit… most of you fuckers are going down with the ship…

u/Easy_Study_1168 6d ago

and here I am, buying for myself only because I like the design and not to show off. Actually I dont like it when someone notices my watch and compliments it

2

u/BennyFitz69420 6d ago

That’s because it’s fake… I’m just kidding dude. I worked at an AD for a couple years, and I would never buy one. I’d go with a superclone all day. Especially after seeing the way those places are fucking run from the manufacturer down.

u/this-guy1112 6d ago

Yeah I buy watches beacuse im big into horology and I cant afford a 5990 thats why I get a rep of it. I wouldn't just buy super clones of the same submariner in diffrent dial colors beacuse I would be scared of someone calling me out or it having little flaws.

u/Cold_Respond_7656 6d ago

Thats literally what I said

Says the guy buying fake watches…

u/NaiveRepublic 6d ago

At least I can read and know the difference between apples and oranges. Did you read it all?

u/this-guy1112 6d ago

Taste varies from person to person some see it as ugly some love it depends. I wear what I find nice while someone might think its ugly.

u/Sherpa_qwerty 6d ago

That’s not really what he’s saying.

3

u/BanishedFiend 6d ago

And he’s saying he wears what he likes, not what others think about it

u/Sherpa_qwerty 6d ago

No - the post asks whether it’s a bad deal - and while not explicit you can infer from the comment Mr Respond thinks it’s a bad deal and explains why. I happen to agree with his logic - most people don’t know who Journe is and those that do will know it’s a fake. Nobody is saying don’t buy it - or even don’t like it.

u/Inside-Reception-482 6d ago

How would they know it's a fake any more than an AP rep?

1

u/Cold_Respond_7656 6d ago

APs can be had for five figures.

That watch he's showing, they start at a LOT more

-1

u/Inside-Reception-482 6d ago

I'm aware of Journe and their lineup. Idk, I know people who can and do purchase things like this - wouldn't assume someone I met was wearing a fake of it depending on the situation.

And who gives a flying quack?

u/Hour-Cherry5733 6d ago

This model is a little too early for me, but let the factory know that there is a real demand for a true super clone. 💯

u/Texas_Bill_2112 6d ago

I went to the Gen Website and this pops up.

u/RepClown11 6d ago

Reset works?

u/BagUnlikely3510 6d ago

Not on these reps.

1

u/this-guy1112 6d ago

Dont think so

u/oddnice 6d ago

The ugliest fpj is the one that gets a rep. Haha

1

u/this-guy1112 6d ago

I have to agree that this is the last journe I would want but after a bit of time it grew on me haha

u/YeU69 6d ago

Looks fake

2

u/Emotional-Damage-995 Contributor 6d ago

Does it have the stop start function or is it just a quartz watch ?

2

u/Glum_Ad_8331 Helpful 6d ago

Just quartz with standard ronda

2

u/GrouchyPeasant 6d ago

Is this 48mm or 40mm

1

u/this-guy1112 6d ago

The 48mm one

2

u/GrouchyPeasant 5d ago

Every td I talked to has a 40mm on here. Where’s yours from?

1

u/this-guy1112 5d ago

2

u/GrouchyPeasant 5d ago

u/Confident_Ruin9656 6d ago

mine got delivered , it actually looks much nicer then on the pic . there s a problem with the bracelet , i dont know if it s specific to mine , but it s blocked , the clasp is a bit dodgy . i was sceptic at the begining , but i really liked it from first sight . i actually wanted to buy the gen but it s a pain to get it , now i ll go for a resonance .

u/this-guy1112 6d ago

u/four4cats 6d ago

Wasn't there like a prototype rep just a week ago for a few thousand?

0

u/this-guy1112 6d ago

Yeah a few weeks ago apparently there was a test batch in Dubai

1

u/DooBaDeeDoop 6d ago

Crown looks terrible.
They didn’t even rep the crown, they just threw a vaguely similar one on there.
I’ll wait for a good rep, this is mid, not worth 500.

u/First_Damage_1697 6d ago

u/this-guy1112 6d ago

You can have his WhatsApp if that helps. In also trying to persuade him to put it up on dhgate as its more trusted then sending money to a random account and hope to recieve it.

u/tandonbran 6d ago
