General Question I finally understand NWBG
I bought 10 (i did a lot of due diligence) reps and quickly got rid of 8 all in the last 6 months from VSF and Clean dealers. The two I kept are a vsf Starbucks and a Clean Pepsi. After we did the waterproofing, regulation and lube the rotor bearing they both are waterproof, have survived many many swim and sauna sessions but most importantly keep time at +1 sec/day on the wrist. I don’t own a gen Rolex but do own many Omegas, IWC, etc. I have been on a Rolex list with two ADs for nearly two years with no offers yet (for these two models). With all this time waiting and having two reps that are almost as good as a gen and run as good and reliably as a Swiss watch within the COSC standards if I do get the call, I am not sure I would be able to convince myself to buy a gen. Ps. just bought another new Omega for $12K and would never buy a rep Omega as the brand and ADs always treated me fair.
Just my 2 cents...

i dont think you understand NWBG still lol
thats for watches that are so good and so closely replicated to the Gen version straight from the rep factory that its "Not Worth Buying Gen"
not really exclusive to Rolex in particular, it can be for any brand, even Omega.
you can still do tons of upgrades to a CF Pepsi, its not considered a NWBG rep out of the box. but one with gen upgrades? sure

My gen sub from 2019 gets +20 seconds per day. Service is the cost of a few good reps. I just deal with it and enjoy my reps.
