This.
It really depends on the condition of it and if it's an automatic movement, etc. I've been wearing my rep while the real one is saved for worthy occasions and I would give this one away whenever I'm done with it. It's in good shape, but I only paid 100 dollars for it (automatic movement, working chronograph). It's been my daily watch for the last 5 years so I wouldn't feel good charging someone any kind of money for it if I let it go some time soon (my initial plan is to keep it until the hands stop moving permanently).

So you can do what exactly? Fool people into thinking you've got a real one? What else would be the purpose? Saving your huge collection of real ones for the important occasions in life like swanky parties or visits to the art gallery? I don't get this mentality at all. Sounds ego driven.

My last Rolex service was 1200 dollars because I needed a new crown and cyclops and new hands.

Replacement costs will suck on your M3 too so will that prompt you to go m-badge out a 325? To me this statement highlights the importance of living within your means. If you can't afford maintenance or replacement costs then I'd say you're in the wrong price bracket for watches.

Between both services in 14 years, the Datejust cost me roughly 2400 including the certified, insured shipping back and forth to San Francisco.
The Daytona I could a few years ago is still running smooth so I'm sure it won't need service for a few more years.

It's not that I can't afford it, but nice assumptions. Here lemme try, you're bitter because you can't afford one to begin with? Why you so mad, bro? You work for Rolex or something?

Are you pretty hard on your watches? I have quite a number so only wear my sea dweller couple times a month but can't see it needing service unless the lube dries out.

Call me cheap, but it saves my business tons of money to do this kind of stuff myself. So I would much rather beat on my 100 dollar watch.

If things get too rugged I do pull my watch off and dump it in the truck.
Maybe i should get in the habit of that, though. hmmmmm

The assumptions were just a jab at your earlier assumptions. And no, I could honestly care less about what anyone sees me in. I park my M in between my buildings (store and laundromat) and it's behind a wall. When I go to the next town and stock up on store inventory, I either drive my 98 avalon or my toyota tundra. You're right, a G shock would definitely suffice. I really don't have an excuse other than I've just been in the habit of slipping it on 6 days a week for work (married to my business, I guess). Again, no offense intended, i just got a little defensive and lashed out.

ROFL no. My dad got denied for that 10 years ago, actually.
There's my store that has a laundromat attached along with a check cashing side business and my parents have their own check cashing and a gas station.
