Gen crystal doesnt mean jack sjait on a fundamentally wrong watch. Sure spend the 400 either way, you would still be called out with this crowd. Any other crowd would care less. TW is wrong even with gen crystal. The Yachty is wrong with the SA3135. Someone famous in the rep game once said. A rep is a rep.

In spite of all the back and forth I must confess that one good thing came out of this one from my perspective. I had no idea how the whole Rolex Vintage and what constitutes a gen, etc. works. I know there is no definitive answer but it certainly gives me a framework for understanding. Also scares the heck out of me about buying vintages in the future. I am going to tread very carefully.

Reading this thread carefully, it appears we are at loggerheads and will have to agree to disagree. Apologies have been made, and accepted, and I suggest it's time to put this behind us. Beating a dead horse rarely makes it reach its destination sooner. As for me, I sincerely believe Freddy's watch is genuine, knowing what I do about the company that repainted his dial, their business ethics, and their clientele. I'm sure there are howls of outrage as I say that; I really don't care. Like I said, we agree to disagree. I had many long, detailed conversations with Freddy as he sourced parts and built it, and that's where I formed my very detailed opinion about "what" it is. If I thought it was a rep, I wouldn't have posted it over there. Regardless, as a leader here it is incumbent on me to set standards, not break them. Our rules here apply to everyone, me included. It is opaquely against the rules to post reps on gen sites, as Offshore pointed out, with consequences up to and including a permanent ban. To those that don't know me well, or understand my propensity to push people's buttons, I apologize. My actions looked like a flagrant rules violation to you. To the people who are left confused by this whole episode, I apologize. This is a place to learn as much as possible about watches, from every angle. It's not a place to spread confusion. Subtly is not always appropriate. To those who are here solely to stir up angst, days after the event, let it go. Have a good weekend, folks.

Im sure noobs think your a pertty special person to. This is the best you can do in the way of dialog? Nice
