Is this a Gen or Rep?

Problem with the Super Avengers is that you can put a gen dial and Bezel on them and you wouldn't know the difference without opening them up. From what I can see, that watch appears to be genuine, but I would ask for a movement shot to be safe. Also, in your pictures the watch does not appear to be running. Have him take a couple of pics with it running so you can be sure. As for price, I have no idea what kind of value it has. Pictures are terrible so its hard to tell the condition. Does he have box and papers?

Update.

I just picked it up and was able to negotiate down to $2300. It came with all papers, box and manual.

I have a question about the bezel. When I rotate the bezel, I don't hear any clicking noise like my Gen Blackbird or Seawolf. Is that normal?

yeah he posted on rwg saying that the papers looked legit. As a few people said over there; he should of met at the AD since it was a face to face deal...

my response on rwg goes hand n hand with your comment... "if worst comes to worst at least you got a gen dial out of the deal :D"

Good News! I just came back from the AD and the watch is 100% gen. The click spring was broken and it only cost me $45 to repair it. However, they did say it will need servicing in 2-3 years.

So I did score a gen SA!

Here are some pics from my phone.

Here's the broken click spring. It looks like the tab is bent. I might be able to bend it back and make it a spare.

Had it cleaned. Damn! This watch is a beast. Looks silly on my wrist and now I look like a gangsta.

As opposed to throwing away $2300 on a $400 rep?
