Only thing not gen on this thing is the bezel. It's a 116520 on an aftermarket black bezel. Ok, busted. The entire watch is gen. From bezel, to hands, to box, to warranty card...gen price too. No miracles here. Sorry for the prank but I felt the urge to post this 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No miracles here. Sorry for the prank but I felt the urge to post this I stand corrected... How didn't I see that dial... Of course, this is a 116500LN. I wasn't completely sure on the bezel, on some pictures it looked kind of funky but on the last one it looked perfect but yet, I still assumed it was aftermarket and just a good angle because the dial confused me for a second.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paristoto Posted January 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Didn't want to upset anyone. Just proves that reps became that good. Freaky actually. But gen is gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 yes guys the watch is gen, no doubt about it. The purpose of this thread, is both for education and entertainment. I encouraged @paristototo post this thread, to share the knowledge that the reps these days are getting very very good, and calling a gen a franken or genstein may not be disputable immediately. It would in fact be bad for our hobby if this watch is resolutely identified as a gen, by 100% of the members who reply. And that once the human mind is conditioned to do so, flaws can be spotted where there are none. Yes of course this is a joke, and one of the things I believe a forum should be about. Congrats bro for this wonderful piece. And for this prank. Speaking of which, you are hereby sentenced to eternity in this madhouse, where the lines between gens and reps are increasingly blurred, and reality and delusion switch places at the blink of an eye. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think RWG should setup a Paristoto raffle so I can post more gen on the forum. For educational purposes only of course What about a PP 5712? Madhouse, here I come.

sacsah1 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Spent many hours on this one.I'm asking the Rolies experts out there. How can I make this JF 1:1 looking any better? Haven't read the entire thread as I have no time and don't know who the OP is but the OP is trolling. The watch is gen not a franken. That's all for now.

Some of the ones on the Internet don't appear to be. Let's start a thread on yours and see what can be done. I have no idea how the bezel is fitted on the rep, but one of our brothers will. Ceramic is very brittle so If you do have a go at the alignment be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altesporsche Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 lol brilliant post ! loved reading this.. it goes to show like some have mentioned.. we have become such critics of franken builds and reps etc.. that we can find flaws in our heads on a GEN watch lol It shows how this hobby more so brings out the ultra watch snob in us all. if we can pick flaws in a Gen watch. I do not doubt that 99.9% of the population will not be able to tell some of the frankens and even full on reps in our world at this stage in the game. Beautiful watch by the way ! fell in love with this Daytona when it came out. Wanted one but zee warden would have my head on a plate like she did last month when I came home with my 13th guitar.. another Gibson Les Paul Custom shop lol I swear when my little one is born next month she/he will only know her/his dad as "Idiot" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki6 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Surely the fact that I was "closely inspecting the watch" was a give away?! I can't inspect the end of my nose let alone a watch!

Congratulations and let us know. It is the nature of things that kids think their Dad knows everything until they are about four or five, then they decide their Dads know nothing. It stays that way until they are about 35, when they finally realise that their Dad did know something after all. All my children know I'm an idiot. @nikki6 I didn't like to say, but it made me suspicious as did the answer that the gen movement dropped right in. It doesn't fit at all well. Then legend posted LOL and I knew something was not on the level, but didn't know quite what. That a stunt like that can be pulled here says a great deal about how convincing reps have become.

Thanks mate ! im Quite excited about it! my first so excited and scared to death at the same time. The warden is always calling me an Idiot (Jokingly of course) because im horrible for compulsive buying and buying expensive things when she thinks I shouldn't be lol But on the other hand she still has no idea what I actually make, so I just laugh and egg her on for badness. Well I hope my little one likes me more than my niece and nephews lol they are all scared to death of me, my Nephew calls me the scary man from the Sea lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
