Good day everyone,
I'm pretty new here - but i've been reading like crazy. I'm so glad I found this site before purchasing another rep.
I've bought a few in the past, and I've enjoyed them - but certianlly, they've been hit or miss from various places. Now, I'm confident I can get a much better average of good / bad.
A few questions:
1, I'm looking very seriously at this:
My question is, are the (rep) diamonds passable as real? I bought a rep long ago with a diamond bezel, and that was the giveaway that it wasn't gen. The diamonds (CZ's) were so poor, that no one would ever believe it was a gen. I'm certiannly not trying to fool any jewelers or AD's, just the average guy who might look pretty closely.
I love the look of the watch pictured, but I'm worried that the stones will absolutely scream 'fake'.
2, Can anyone PM me a rep friendly watch repair shop in the northern detroit suburbs? (Rochester, Shelby, Troy, etc)
Thanks to everyone, and I appreciate any replies!
Ben
