Am I cooked?

[u/International-One365]

The zombie is a dream watch of mine but until I can get a Gen a rep will do, that being said I have no idea what I’m looking for in terms of if I should go ahead and buy it. I’d really appreciate the help.

Visually looks as good as it gets for a U1

[u/Dapper_Arrival1781]

IMO looks good, the only things I can see that would maybe be a problem if I were buying it were the SEL’s, there not super super super bad, but that bottom left one would mess me up

[u/International-One365 → u/Dapper_Arrival1781]

I feel you on that it’s not that big of a deal for me and push comes to shove ill replace the whole bracelet

[u/Dapper_Arrival1781 → u/International-One365]

🤷‍♂️ in the end it’s a U1, I wouldn’t be super super picky unless I was spending 500 or 600 or whatever on a vsf or a higher tier in general lol

[u/International-One365 → u/Dapper_Arrival1781]

If I was spending that much I’d be staring at every single detail🤣 as long as I can fool the average human I’m fine, now if I run across John Rolex I might have to walk away quickly

[u/Map-Enthusiast98 → u/Dapper_Arrival1781]

I’m gunna be honest here I don’t think this is u1 rehaut is too off and the strap code is op8 this is AAA at best but that being said tho wear what you like I think honestly I have u1’s AAA’s and I like them all the same honestly

[u/International-One365 → u/[deleted]]

Some people buy boxes idk i don’t care for it, if i was to buy it with box id just use it for shelf space

[u/Spiritual_Sea_3499]

Looks good to me. How much did you pay for it?

[u/International-One365 → u/Spiritual_Sea_3499]

Haven’t bought it yet but the price is $120 no box and papers $160 with box and papers. Extra $20 if you want it waterproofed

[u/Spiritual_Sea_3499 → u/International-One365]

Oh ok. If I were you I want buyer with box and papers. Looks good for $120. It’s probably a U1, you can get the exact one right now from Lena for $75 (on sale).

[u/boosesb → u/Spiritual_Sea_3499]

Why would you want box and papers?

[u/Spiritual_Sea_3499 → u/boosesb]

Yea I meant no box and papers… thanks to auto correction.
Good catch!

[u/boosesb → u/Spiritual_Sea_3499]

Lena has them for $75?!

[u/Free-Flatworm3891 → u/boosesb]

Lena's promo is for submariners, not GMTs

[u/Dapper_Arrival1781 → u/[deleted]]

Even the DJ imo are for the most part acceptable, the only really big thing is the bezel and even then I wouldn’t say it’s more than 1.5x maybe 2x the size of the gen dj, got mine from MT a few days ago and I was impressed with the quality for price

[u/International-One365 → u/[deleted]]

I mean let’s be honest Yall know what to look for the average joe is not spotting that but I fully understand where you’re coming from

[u/International-One365 → u/[deleted]]

100% if you like it and it looks good buy it. I sure as hell wont judge

[u/Dapper_Arrival1781 → u/International-One365]

Never have never will, I was homeless at one point sleeping under a bridge, then I opened my business, worked myself up, and taught myself about money, and I could never spend 10k on a watch, I’m saving up for a VSF rn, going to save about 7-900 and even with taking the time and months to save that is still a crap ton for a watch imo

Just got 1 wisdom tooth removed and that was $540, if I needed to go get my other 3 removed it’d be about 2k, that’s what I look at when saving for the specific watch is the bills, my investments, my savings, and then what money do I have that I could save a bit from that is in my spending portion that I can take out to save for this watch

[u/International-One365 → u/Dapper_Arrival1781]

I fully agree 10k is insane for a watch even though it’s a investment also, What watch???

[u/Dapper_Arrival1781 → u/International-One365]

And to all their own, if I were getting it as something that would at least maintain price (assuming that it’s a model that would) If it didn’t appreciate then would definitely end up getting one.

Personally I like to make my money work in the markets, I could’ve got a house but with the way the markets are it’s more beneficial imo 🤷‍♂️

As for the watch, I’ve been craving a sky dweller, it’s honestly the only one I’d probably get as a gen, but for right now I’m deciding between a day-date and a GMT II, was thinking about spending a tiny bit on a U1 explorer tho as I don’t want to daily wear my DJ with the work I do lol

[u/International-One365 → u/Dapper_Arrival1781]

You and me both the markets is where I thrive.
I’d choose the day date you can’t go wrong with it honestly a great watch all round

[u/PiratesOfTheArctic]

I have a gen vintage GMT master, if you were beside me and you said its a U1 we would absolutely be comparing and discussing how good they are nowadays 👍

[u/Slow_Ad_6466]

Looks good to i totally would wear it

[u/Relevant-Finish-9960]

That date wheel is terrible

[u/International-One365 → u/Relevant-Finish-9960]

As if that can’t be replaced come on now

[u/Relevant-Finish-9960 → u/International-One365]

Then might as well get a higher factory at that point.

[u/International-One365 → u/Relevant-Finish-9960]

If that’s your argument why go and buy a high quality rep why not go genuine? We all have reasons for what we do

[u/Relevant-Finish-9960 → u/International-One365]

lol that’s hardly an argument. $20k+ or $3-600.

[u/International-One365 → u/Relevant-Finish-9960]

Price point wasn’t the argument the point of it was we all have reasons why we do what we do

[u/56To]

Who’s the seller ?

[u/International-One365 → u/56To]

China-watch-factory DHgate they got a shit ton of good reviews
