Wow, thanks for the review. It'd be even more awesome if u had Noob vs H vs Gen. hahaha. but this review is great. I guess one of the biggest give away is the CG, but again if you don't have the gen right next to you, its hard to compare. Its almost spot on

i heard the CG is different

the L swiss made L is different, but otherwise its pretty damn close

Then I must have made a mistake

Its all good , thanks lots for your help. And your review, is really helpful. Just one question left.

@12secs Roos have a problem where the hands meet, as there is a distance between that and the dial, its an obvious give away that its a rep. What about the Diver V3? Does it suffer the same problem?

(Stated in this thread for reference: http://www.rwg.cc/topic/139550-safari-arrived-today-my-authentic-vs-replica-pictures/) Sorry if this is illegal. hehe

Wondering how this bag is keeping up. Usually reps breakdown after few months. Zipper comes off etc. any feedback on the quality of this bag or this factory would be great. ESP if it is over 3 months or a year.

Im meant im not a fan of people wearing replicas claiming to be real. Im not gonna put someone down for it or talk bad. It doesnt offend me. I like how watchmeister put it, I did it as a test drive.

This was my first experience with replicas, never really knew about them before. But when I received mine I felt funny wearing it. Like I was trying to be something im not even thou I knew I was looking to get the authentic. I go on a watch forum and shared that and some people went off on me, which I understand but dont think its that big of a deal at all. When I said "im not a fan" im just saying for myself. I now know I wouldnt get a replica again, maybe I would do what I did this time and test drive one.

I got a lot of "if you can afford it then thats it, dont buy a replica if you cant" or "you are trying to be something you arent" which I sort of agree with. But then there are cases where you just like it and dont care about status etc...although im sure plenty do. Then some said you are stealing a design from a company that takes time and money making these watches, how would you feel if some company just stole your ideas/design and started selling knock offs of it? I thought it would suck and Id probably be upset.

Im not judging or talking down, although I can say a few did that to me. So when I said im not a fan I just meant for myself. Obviously I took the time to share the pics and some details with everyone in here, as some of you were very helpful to me. So thank you.

Agreed. I have a gen Rolex, Cartier etc. But I feel that buying good reps is good too, ESP in developing countries and when you travel to certain places. It wouldn't feel as bad if u got robbed or if u bang it accidentally due to the bumpy ride. For me, it's more of a risk management thing. I'd wear the gen as frequent as I wear the reps, but it matters where I go. I don't see it as if u can't afford it, don't pretend like you can, but more so as a means to maximize our happiness while managing risks:D and as you said, keeping your rep to have it knocked around serves its function well but again, a watch is a status symbol. So see it as u may.

This forum is great though, and the people are helpful

Wait how come his fb page says he's located at Taiwan not Singapore?

Goin can do that, he's located in Singapore.

Do you mind sharing info? I can't seem to find him on the forums.

Sorry for jacking the thread, but I hope other members could find this info useful too

Just wondering, Is there anyone that could provide this kind of service in Asia? Input would be very much appreciated.

Is the trevor above, trevortime? a TD on this forum?

I'm glad to hear it - the specific example Ken gave a while back was the Coach brand .. he said that no high quality maker reproduces any Coach items, and so he won't sell them.

Honestly I don't know why u want a coach rep, it's not that expensive to begin with. My apologies if I sound ignorant

buy a gen, seriously......

+1 need a gen one if ur into it. Although I got mine as a gift, hehe

Is there a modder who can superlume in Asia?

I would say gen bezel is on the right due to the deeper engraved teeth and different slope.

+1 for gen bezel on the right.

Dents good man. Takes away attention from minor details, therefore pple think its a gen look at the bright side.
