Points to look at on and ingy
Short hands (but there are a few gen hands out there with short hands as well)
Date font (even lello date wheels are not perfect as the print is slightly raised where the gen are flat)
Date font surround on a gen the I's end and bang on the start of the tapered recess to the date.
Date window recess is deaper on the gen
Crown, the end of the crown is polished on the gen on the rep only the raised lettering is polished
The gen case back is thicker and the CO is with a capital O not Co as in the rep
12 and 6 on the dial are slightly thicker on the gen and the chapter ring printing slightly bolder
60, 15, 30 and 45 are lumed on the gen and the lume is stronger on the gen
the raised oblong links in the bracelet are taller on the gen
the clasp on the rep has pearlage gen not and the gen one is far better and does not break
the ends of the bracelet link pins are machine turned and flat but on the rep they are a bit rounded and un-finished
Gen costs 5k rep costs 300
now looking at the list above you would say "wow what a shit rep" but when you have both in your hand you would not pay the gen price when you compare it to the rep, It is such a good replication that it even feels the same as the gen!
Thgis is an extarawdenary (how ever you spell it) watch for $300 you would not this quality in the gen market for less then 1k, where whould you get ETA 2824, saphire, ar coating, wonderfull machining, great style, fantastic bracelet inthe new high street gen market? Oris? maybe, Longines? ok but this is $300!
