Thanks for the replies guys. I will definitely have to ask for pics of the watch and any documentation. We'll see if he even responds. It all seems very fishy....

thanks again!

So I've been trying to decide on my first Rep watch to buy for the past month or so since I joined RWG (Awesome site BTW) and I had decided on getting either a SMP Chrono or the Super Avenger Blacksteel v2 and then I come across a ad on craigslist (red flag) for a previously owned Gen SMP Chrono in "excellent" condition for around 675 USD. Ad states it has the Swiss Valjoux 7750 chrono movement, etc. Picture he posts is the stock SMP pic. (red flag)

My question is this. I asked the seller if he would be willing to meet at a local watchsmith to verify authenticity. Is there anything else I can do on my end if I do meet and see this watch that can help determine if I am buying a gen or just getting ripped off?

Thanks for any replies. I love this site, not sure my wife does though.

Absolutely stunning review. As this is probably my second or third post most of you can gather I am a complete n00b at the rep world but I am learning! It almost doesn't feel right that I will be making this watch my very first rep. Thanks for all the hard work on the review guys. Amazing stuff....
