Just got this rep and looks like they have the accurater pearlage now on the movement, at least on the one I got. So one less tell for the rep, hurray! I checked the 2 and the 5 and to be honest its not that noticeable unless you really stare at it up close with a gen next to it. i'm willing to bet that the guy who called you out just said it to see how you would react.the top part of the 5 is thinner but you have to be like 2 ft away from the watch nto notice. the top of the 2 on mine is quite parallel to the bottom of the 2.
