gran Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 (edited) Hi Guys, could you give me your opinions on whether this is a Gen or a Rep please? I think its a rep but i'm far from an expert This was your post #1...... at least you are interested in watches and to test others...welcome to RWG paranoid Edited June 25, 2007 by Gunnar Gran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I agree this is a gen. Else, this is the best rep ever made. Just interesting to notice that, while the 171 goes from F series (2003) onwards, it does note make its appearance on OP catalogues until 2004...

archibald Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 There are lots of ways to tell this watch is real. Aside from those mentioned: The date font and mag would be different (easy to research how it would be different) The crossbar on the capital "A's" would be lower The crown guard would not be as nicely finished The brushing would be less agressive. Several of the above differences can be fixed--the crown guard and the brushing would be the easiest--but the "A's" and the date font/mag would be difficult, especially on this model. But I sure hope I'm wrong and this is some new super-rep, w/ a 7750 w/ functional power reserve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 and it may be my first post, but i've been lurking for a few months, slowly building up a collection of Reps and Gens Had I been in knowledge of it, I would have lurked your questions for a few months before posting my first reply to you.
