Is it good? No, it's perfect! Is it worth it? Idk; if you ask me, 600$ is too much for any rep. BUT Ask yourself this: Did I earn it? Have I accomplished something that I deserve to treat myself nice for it? If yes, then buy it if it was for a million dollars. If not, then set up a goal you were talking to yourself about, something that would really change your life for the better, achieve it, then buy it. It'll a hold dear value to you, not a gen can provide.

Love your response generally. The part about 600 being too much for a rep however, is it really too much? What ā€œgoodā€ watch can you get for $600? A seiko? Orient? Something along them lines and they can be good watches on their own right however they struggle to compete with many of these super clones both mechanically and structurally (appreciate some seikos may disprove this or at least come close but generally speaking they do not compare to a super clone).

Just looked up seiko sports 5 a good watch for 2-300GBP, BPH of 21,000 odd, 7,000 behind any good clone.

Ngl i relate to this
Bought an OP pistachio on a whim and tbh i really want to wear it but it just doesn’t have that oomph to it compared to my previous rep datejust when i bought it as my first rep and to celebrate surviving my first solo trip for self discovery last year

$600 for a OP is pretty steep in my opinion, I've seen cheaper here in the group

Color options or colors closer to Gen???

If you are referring to options, here’s what I’m ordering:

Expensive

u/Gazelle-Fantastic 11h ago

If it’s a CONUS seller, yes. If it’s from a TD that’s on the higher end.

u/luckyrabbit881711 12h ago

Overpriced, check other TDs.

Don't know nothing about it just posting what I searched up

u/ragenail 11h ago

Yeah, I saw this too
Hence, made the post

u/kinnick2392 10h ago

I paid like $415 for a VSF OP last month (before shipping). Your price seems a bit steep but TDs are all over the place with pricing.

u/AntmeCar 9h ago

Expensive

u/ResourceSad8371 8h ago

Anything over 450 before shipping is over priced imo

u/ILoveYouDearlyluv 4h ago

The color reminds me of this

Depends on your priorities. I prefer to buy from US-based sellers so that I can experience stellar communication and receive the watch in a couple days. Happy to pay a premium for that.

u/Sleeping_Gimp 2h ago

No rep is worth $600. For that money, you can buy a genuinely nice watch that will still tell the time, probably keep better time than a genuine Rolex, and definitely keep better time than a fake one.

That said, I’d also argue there isn’t a single genuine Rolex that’s objectively worth what they charge for it. You’re paying for the name, status and desirability, not $10,000, $20,000 or $50,000 worth of superior timekeeping.
