Yep I'm joining you’re particular conspiracy bandwagon! After all the Rep industry wants to ride the Luxury Whale not destroy it!!!
Equation =
1) Man buys Rep
2) Man receives large number of Compliments, Approving Glances and Smiles from attractive women
3) Man feels great but now wants the feeling without the slightly fraudulent after taste.
4) Man saves up for Gen and/or Sends his rep to Palpatine, RBJ, The Zigmeister, Finepics for sweetening!
Now to add to the solidity of this theory is it coincidence that the most accurate rep is the TAG LINK?
The genuine watches are not selling well and ADs are offering VERY large discounts!
The possibilities are thus...
1) The powers that be allowed this rep to be near perfect in an attempt to persuade the rep community to embrace it. The subsequent Viral Marketing raises the profile of the TAG LINK (Never heard of it before RWG) and sales of the genuine increase.
2) The Rep Manufactures manage to create a perfect replica making the point of buying the Gen ...Pointless!
3) The TAG LINK is a crap watch. (Just a theory)
Now if you will excuse me I'm off to work double shifts at the Pizza Hut
