And you and I continue to thread crap on this 7 month thread haha.. But I see it also as bringing a rather interesting thread back to life. The occasion calls for this song

lol, brother, pardon me sometimes. When I miss a date with Ms Morning Coffee, you can ignore 50% of what I say.

Guys Good intentions, but kindly do the sale/trade/purchases in the trade section please, thank you.

Your 7 inch wrist will have no problems pulling off any 42, or even 44mm ROO. The thickness of the watch is more apparent when examined off the wrist, compared to when viewed on the wrist as the flesh of the wrist tend to obscure the caseback. Unless you are specifically looking for it and are very familiar with the gen ROO profile, the thickness is not discernible by most people when worn on the wrist. Yes, the rep is about 2mm thicker as a fact. But this is observed only by guys in the hobby, like us, and not by the common man off the street.

We are here to help, and I will like to make it clear to newbies that: 1. We were ALL once newbies. There is nothing abhorrent about that. We do not believe in ragging or bullying just because you are new. 2. The right attitude and approach counts. If you meet an asshole in the morning, one in the afternoon and one at night, chances are.. you are the asshole. Be polite and positive and ask your questions nicely. You will get help. 3. Everything we ever learnt, was new to us at some point, and we may become learned in our own fields of interest/expertise. This community is about convening and sharing of our own knowledge and tips. If you are helped along at some point, learn to say thank you and move on and pay it forward. Don't just read and keep quiet and resurface again with new questions the next time you encounter issues. That is bad form.

The leftmost pic of each series shows the H series font. The center one shows the i series font and is in fact the most accurate of the 3 you’ve shown. The rightmost font is the most inaccurate, trying to be an i series but failing miserably. The dw not being centered is a common flaw in the xf diver and it can be aligned.

I was not offended mate. But for the sake of comparison, I think we need to state the model and make of what we are posting clearly, so as to avoid confusing others. For a model like the daytona, I will not buy the rep, as either one detail or the other will be, to me, egregiously off. I do agree that the A4130 clone movement seems to be a big leap forward, but long term reliability and timekeeping remains issues which could surface. Also, just FYI, the pusher profiles can be modded to be more gen like. I will attach a pic of what I mean: this is a rep with modded pusher profiles.

Hello and welcome, first and foremost. 1. I will advise you to stick to known dealers like intime03.co, puretime.io etc. The stock are all from the same factory, but with the known/trusted dealers, you get more assurance that the actual watch purchased is the one advertised. 2. Stated water resistance: Take it with a pinch of salt, this is a hit or miss. Do not take your watch swimming unless you have pressure tested it first and done and necessary basic waterproofing. 3. You can start your learning about the models you want, and also the abbreviations used in the hobby, by perusing one of the known dealer sites I listed, and then asking what you wish to ask. I see that the new clone movement daytonas are listed for $628 before shipping. https://www.intime03.co/rollie/5124-pre-order-daytona-116515-rg-case-black-ceramic-bezel-noob-1-1-best-edition-brown-dial-on-rubber-strap-sa4130.html. I understand you bought a different model. You probably paid around the same price, or slightly more. Nothing horrifying though. 4. Come back again and ask the questions you wish to ask.

Both my 116500LN are gens. Why Noob A4130? Besides you, some of us can afford gens too

I always like the 116520, as I think that it is more classy than the 116500LN. I own both the gen black and white ceramic Daytonas. They are for collection and never worn except for pictures. If I can choose to own a daytona for wearing it will be what you own. Excellent choice! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey man, is there a background context to your post?

There are things which cannot be seen (heard) in the QC pics. Besides the crooked markers at 12, 3, and 9, which are very common, the miyota movement sounds cheap and noisy, and the rotor bearings of about 90% of the v3 15400 need to be silenced and oiled. Visually, the thickness is also a flaw which can be resolved. The watch can be thinned to 9.9mm (vs gen thickness of 9.8mm). Also, I don't like the way the date changes. The date starts changing around 2300 - 2330 each day, and completes the change at midnight. The gen has an instant date change at midnight, much like the Rolex caliber 3135 or ETA2836. But that is me nitpicking. Most people can live with this flaw, but I just cannot.

well done bro, for buying 4 identical watches.
