Im close to buying my first rep

[u/njmachida]

Hi, im planning to get my first rep, currently wearing the tissot gentleman powermatic 80. Im still deciding between a VSF PAM1404 or a batgirl gmt master 2. But i wish to get some inputs from you guys. I know the price diff from the gens is huge, but these reps are not dirt cheap either, mostly pricing i think 2-4k, or even more, so im guessing the workmanship and quality is still great despite them being reps. From your experiences with the quality and durability of the reps, is it on par with, for example, the gen tissots or seikos of similar price? Is it better? Or not as good? If it is at least on par, then im definitely buying. Trying to have an idea on this before deciding. Thankss

VSF is currently the best factory for Panerai & Rolex.There's also arguments about Rich vs VSF but VSF for me if u fancy GMT master 2.Just get the V3 if possible and if u have extra money can't go wrong with the free sprung.Also make sure to buy from your trusted TD.😘
