Greetings Rolex experts, Can you guys tell me if this is gen please? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rolex-Milgauss-116400V-M-series-with-Box-Papers-/200823540106?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item2ec204098a The reason why I am asking is because this seller has tried to sell to sell a fake AP ROO black themes as genuine. I am looking to buy a Milgauss for my father and browsing around. Thank you for helping.

I own a gen AP ROO RG rubberclad and a rep rose gold JPM. I love them both. The plating on my rep has been good to me, and there are no signs of fade. One thing though..if you know your watches, pick up any rep rose gold ROO and you would know its not a gen. The weight is simply too light in your hands. Other than that, they are visually very pleasing. No regrets for me personally.

This model is almost spot on, when compared side to side vs the gen. The only tell as far as I am concerned, is the position of the date window, which is a trifle far to the right...

Erm, yes thats another tale actually. I was carrying my neighbor's cat when it started playing with the strap of the watch I was wearing. It left some scratches on the SS case.

Thats another issue altogether, nothing to do with accuracy of ROO models

you're not nuts.. you're merely seriously liking this model. If the watch is not modded, yes why not get a new one and keep this for spare parts. I did the same with a watch of mine too, under similar circumstances, except it was scratched by a cat.

I am Asian, and I do not consider myself nosy in the slightest. I have Caucasian colleagues and subordinates who gossip and [censored] as much as the next Asian. My point is, if judgement is unavoidable for you, judge the person, not the race. Show me a nosy Asian, and I'll show you an equally "inquisitive" westerner.

no prob dude. thanks for popping by!

you do have a conscience after all bro good on ya!

yes....that was exaxctly what I meant you idiot :lol:

Stay off the laptop bro! I am going for dinner soon, and I want my appetite intact. Your most recent pic was fine... but please, you get what I mean.

oh my, the prodigal son returns! :lol: Welcome back my bro, and yes, your pic says it all.. its your wrist, its your watch. Why give a f for anything more?

my 2cents worth: a. If one wears a replica, it may not mean that he is not able to afford the real McCoy. He could be fascinated with the design, but not the price. Ethics aside, there are many factors why someone chooses to wear a rep. I have gens and I have the rep for my gen. I don't see anything wrong with that. Whatcha gonna do, chop my wrist off? b. If one wears a gen, do not automatically assume that he could REALLY afford one. You and I would not know the financial obligations and resources that the gen wearer has. Often, our choices in luxuries of life boil down to how much we really want something, and the sacrifices made to get that something. c. It is purely a man's own business, whether he chooses to wear a gen, rep, franken, or gaudy toy watch from Toys 'R Us. There is the question of good taste of course, but let each man wear his watch of choice and face the consequences, be it compliments, deride, criticism or downright debasement. d. There is nothing we can do, to stop anyone from choosing to wear a gen or rep. The sun will rise tomorrow, bringing with it fair shares of wearers of both gen and rep watches, and it shines on both camps equally. (Unless you're in Alaska, sorry Nanuq ) e. Collecting and appreciation replica watches is a hobby. To me, there are a lot more possibilities of modifying and trading them with other enthusiasts. I am a gen owner,and I do own watches that go beyond the run-of-the-mill gens. But no, I don't hate rep owners at all. I like to mingle, interact with, learn from and trade with rep owners, because I am ALSO a rep owner. I find this community a lot more fun, candid and knowledgable than the gen forums I joined. A lot less upturned noses too. Who gives a damn if you own a gen or rep? As long as you enjoy it, its all good. There will always be differences in opinions, but you have a choice of who to listen to (and who to give a good kick in the nuts to).

Hey not bad dude.. horse horse tiger tiger is the phonetic translation. I never tried shanghainese mooncake, heck i never even heard of shanghainese mooncake And there you are, being an RWG moderator. Just don't do that when you do your job here ken!
